Before complaining about "early pullers", consider the following:

[Canadane]

The problem I've noticed is that the hunt mobs are disappearing again due to so many player characters. I had thought they said they fixed this but perhaps it was simply due to less interest in hunts causing the issue to resolve itself. I see pulls more often than not when the mob disappears and everyone panics and runs towards it.

Pulling early as in, I am in the stinking zone when it gets called out, I go there right away after saying to hold on. and its dead by the time I get there. At least wait 5-7 mins before pulling but nope that's asking too much.

I mean I HAVE to get there ya know, I can't just teleport to the NM!

I don't participate in the zerg rush and all that but 5-7 mins to get from anywhere in any zone to anywhere else in the same zone (or heck, even in a different zone) is a little much... I mean, you can run complete circles around the edges of most zones in that time o.O


=====================================================================



I personally think that hunts should be for those who are actually hunting in the zone at the time. That way, for the most part, there's less of a zerg and there is actually a fight (instead of everyone other than the tanks just spamming AoE heals for no reason, they actually participate) and the people who put in the effort get the rewards. That seems like how it was supposed to be. Waiting for more than a minute after the recommended number of people have turned up (24 for an S rank, less for an A) is just destroying the content.

Don't people want the nice gear so that they can go and challenge themselves with it? Why then take the least challenging route to get there?

The shinies really are all that matter? What, so people will look at you and go "You're pweddy!"? *SMH* That's what glamours are for, to look pretty. Half the people that get them will actually cover them up with glamours so you can't even see their shinies.

So is it pride that you earned the shinies? The zerg isn't earning anything, it's just standing there spamming medica and ignoring the fight.

Or is it the numbers, the stats? Unless you're running Coil and the like, iLvl 110 gear can get you though anything quite handily so the madness still serves no purpose.

Seriously, all this rage and most people aren't even thinking about what they want or why. A moment's introspection could save most people a lot of suffering that they are causing for themselves. The hunts are not as important as they seem just because they exist, nor just because they are open world.

They're important if they serve a purpose to you personally.

If they do that, then great!

If they don't, maybe rethink things again. There are other things to do.

There are very few reasons to get so angry at this optional side content. Getting geared up in all the greatest stuff won't make content that actually requires such gear come any sooner.

And that's ok. Truely.

I noticed that too Even limiting the amount of objects to load doesn't help.
