How exactly do people find out about where an A rank is?

Funny enough that I scouted on reset day for my weekly B in old zones in Eastern Thanalan... ran around and into Maahes. Shared in 4 linkshells and FC, then shouted 2 times. Noone but FC mate bothered to come.... oookay after 5 mins we pulled with chocos out and this fight took us 7 + mins because of the stone skills and still noone joined us until we had it killed... like seriously and on other days they get killed within 30s after shouts/scouts >.<

Just make sure you have Silence for Stone Cold and he's easy to kill.

We were war and whm so no silence ^^ I don't recall all the hunt mechanics and tbh rarely bothered with them because hunts usually are overfarmed... but it is really fun to killing hunts in 2-3 man groups where you experience the mechanics

Guildwork app is what people are using. It's something that needs to be addressed, and patched, and banned.

Well once time I accidently found Zanig'oh and want try to kill it alone. With a long time I could kill it thanks to SCH job

At least you didn't get flamed for it OP. I've tried to solo several level 50 A rank hunts I found when no one else was around and as soon as people started showing up I got the most disgusting hate in Shout. I got Maahes down to about 80% one time and then people showed up and started calling me a retard and such in chat, screaming at me and then started yelling for someone to reset it. A tank soon established hate on it and pulled it off me and reset it, which I'm pretty sure counts as griefing, along with all the flame in chat.

Well in 2.X people were actually using a tracker for hunts, perhaps this has not changed.

Considering that use of a third party tool that actively manipulates the game is used community wide for DPS checking it's really not that much of a stretch that there are players sad enough to use hacks to track hunts.

There are websites with timers. If the window was open chances are people were already looking for it and saw it near you then reported to the hunt LS. Just because you may not have seen anyone doesn't mean that they didn't see the A rank.

So much cheating thanks to Guildworks. I have no idea why they haven't addressed it yet when it puts players on PS3 and PS4 at a complete disadvantage.

I stopped caring about hunts and am much happier for it. No use in pulling your hair out trying to zerg rush the same mobs over and over again just for a reward you can get slightly faster.
