What do you benefit from pulling hunt mobs fast?

I mean, wouldn't a little common courtesy be nice? Let EVERYONE have the rewards, hmm?

Disclaimer: I know there is no such thing as "pulling too early," but whenever I find a hunt monster I would never even consider pulling it myself with only my party around the second I find it. It's just plain rude.

And so it begins. People are gonna justify using this clever method of control.

I don't see how it's rude if you play the game how it's intented. Anyways, all this hunt drama is fun to watch from the sidelines.

Well, this time round, they made the daily hunt logs a viable way of obtainging upgrades for gear. So you can do those to gear up in a reasonable time frame without touching any hunt marks in world.

But I do think they should triple the HP of the A and S ranks as they melt crazy fast, even with everyone not yet at 60. Which when the majority get to 60 it will become even worse.

I'm just here because on my mobile the title of this thread showing was "What do you benefit from pulling". 10/10 would click for that title again.

They get the new shinies faster. Seems to be the mentality of a certain segment of every game...me first, to hell with everyone else.

It's the new thing. Once people get what they want or something more appealing is introduced they'll move on and <hopefully> there will be less drama. Look at the ARR zones. I see A ranks sitting around completely ignored while large groups spam nearby fates.

New hunts do melt so fast that if you don't pull before a certain amount of time, you're unlikely to get full credit.

And yeah, I mean, hunts are FCFS, the ingame systems even talk about such. You may disagree, but at the end of the day, that's just how it's set up, and all the noble intentions in the world won't change the actuality of things.

Pretty much this. Once the crowd gets beyond a certain size it's actually impossible to get full credit due to how quickly the target dies. It is actually a big risk to wait too long.

It also doesn't help that some players get a late report in their linkshell and start bitching that the target was pulled early when other people had actually been standing there waiting for five minutes or more. Do not assume that the report in your linkshell was the first report of that hunt target being found!

That happened to some of my friends last night. They found an A rank and called other people in via TS and our FC linkshell and then stood around waiting for a while to see if other people were going to show up. Sure enough, the hunt train rolled in, and someone pulled it almost right away. On the outside, it looked like an early pull, but in fact my friends had been standing there waiting for a few minutes already. They could've gone ahead and pulled it themselves if they'd wanted.

They should tune the 3 daily marks you get, just double them, problem solved.

I used to enjoy doing A/S, but those instanced Zones definitely killed it for me this time aroun.

Another option, and this is just me here... But they should really quit tying everything they release to FATES/Hunts. Be creative, release something new. Watch the new Relic quest be tied to both FATES and hunts.
