S RANK HUNTS

[Vespar]

Not sure which forums to throw this is in.

Please please please increase or scale the difficulty of S rank hunt monsters.
On my server no one is waiting for anyone to reach the S rank before the pull and annihilate the monster before most other people can reach it. Folks are even trying to anonymously pull using their SMN pets. This is causing a huge stigma on S rank hunts on my server.

Please do something about it.

1. Pulling with a summoner pet is not "anonymous" as the owner's name is still shown on the pet if you have it enabled
2. They obviously waited for people to get there if it was annihilated that quickly. maybe you should see about getting into one of the larger linkshells that are actually scouting and finding hunts instead of a linkshell that merely reposts shouts

Hunts are pretty broken however you slice it. On a large server like Excalibur you're lucky if the mob lives for 30 seconds, due to all of the huge groups. And don't even get me started on Guildworks...

The OP has a good point - S Rank mobs die way too fast, preventing anyone who isn't in a large linkshell to participate. I don't think being in a large linkshell should be a requirement to be able to participate in a hunt, and it's pretty sad that a S Rank only lives less than a minute. The HP should be buffed to give time for more people to participate. I don't think waiting another 30-45 seconds for the mob to die is going to destroy hunts.
