There's only so much blame you can place on the community. You have to blame SE themselves for implementing the system they way they did and not foreseeing this happen. Considering spawn times and conditions are so erratic and it takes several hundred seals to buy anything good, it would take far too long to get decent rewards if everyone hunting the mobs hunted them the right way. So, the community practically implemented their own fix to try to share in the rewards. The downside is, not everyone agrees, thus the problem.
