I ain't going to pretend to know anything about coding or anything like that.. but surely there is a way to block out FFXIVapp and guildwork's (and others like it) hunt pop finders.. Hunts used to be a fun thing where people scoured the area looking for the pop.. updating the website to keep track of when pops are coming etc etc.

Now theres 30 people at a pop within a second because people use these programs to tell them the pop is there.. People are even silly enough to just copy paste the notification they get into chat.

There's literally no point in hunting now unless you use one of these apps.. and then its not hunting its waiting for a notification.

SE if you put hunts in heavensward which i hope you do, you really need to figure this stuff out cos the fun has been sucked out of it
