It sounds like on the bigger servers, if you're not part of one of the groups who are actively hunting an A-Rank or S-Rank in an area, you don't get to do that A-Rank or S-Rank because they won't wait for you to show up. That's perfectly understandable: Why should they wait for someone who wasn't actively helping them hunt if they already have the firepower to down the target?

Yes, I'm a bit of a hypocrite here, in that I will say something about early pulls on my server, but I have helped hunt stuff a time or 2, and know it works both ways.
