ninja pulling hunts

[Dogempire]

For the most lart I tend to say the mob is there in shout, wait a couple minutes, then begin soloing it on my Scholar. If it's a HW A rank I get together a light party to kill it.

When I find A ranks nobody tends to show up because they're waiting for their hunting linkshells to announce its location.

Also if the A rank is Maracco I probably won't wait since he's my mortal enemy ever since he killed me when I was questing. So I solo him everytime I see him.

Personally I find hunts way more enjoyable when it's a small group of people fighting the mob or when I'm solo.

After all, it's a hunt, pretty sure most hunters don't wait for 300 other hunters to show up before killing their target.

Also I find it hilarious when I kill an A rank and suddenly everyone and their mom is like "invite for hunt" in shout and a bunch of people show up to admire the empty spot where I waged an epic battle against an A rank mob.

Exactly doing hunts "as intended" in small groups is actually fun compared to the grind most people make out of it. Soloed Marrocao at the weekend on my WAR and usually 2 man them with a FC mate if noone cares after a shout.
Loved how in N. Than. had lately someone shout out the A while was mining so I stopped and went there and informed my FC mate. There been 5 people waiting that went away before my friend arrived (assuming other hunt). It had been 8 mins since the first shout and 5 min since they left when we 2 man pulled. During the kill they came back at 30% using /say "Nice steal"... like lol you went away didn't you?

Being on a small server, it gets noticed when the consistently same people early pull (one has been blackballed from a majority of hunt link shells). I am not an advocate of standing around for 10 minutes while people gather to a spot. I'm also not a fan of a hunt being called (for location) and people pulling as soon as they get there (less than a minute after location shout).

Kookz jumps to mind xD

Side note, 2.x hunts are fair game, Like i'll call out an S rank because of the points and ease of killing with more people, but A ranks, I just solo them at this point. Example, yesterday caught Zanigoh while doing my tribe dailies and he was deep in Zaharak, by the Ifrit aetheryte. Sorry, but definitely not waiting for people to come there xD solo'd.

HW hunts I'll always call out, because they're not soloable(I've tried ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) and I have this weird hope to see everyone on Zalera flying a Wyvern.

The GM is right. Hunts are not reserved. Anyone can attack a hunt. You cannot expect 1 person to wait for you. Even though its common courtesy it still is a hunt. There is no in game rule stating you have to wait until everyone has arrived before attacking the hunt.

My advise would be to get in as many hunt ls as possible, that way you will always be notified well in advance.

sometimes i miss a hunt and it sucks and i complain about it because i would have liked to do it, but when you have like 20 people there to do it i don't expect them all to wait just for me

peppole ninja pulling hunts and then i report on and i spoke to a gm and he sad he cant do anyting so i ask if i reset the hunt then he says.

We are not encouraging players to reset Hunt monsters even if they don't intend to disrupt other players' gaming time. However as explained before, since this is part of the game mechanics, and unless the suspect of a report is found guilty of purposely disrupting other players, this is not considered as a violation.

Thank you for your understanding and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.

so i ask then

and so you mean to reset is to disrupting other players. but it is not disrupting other players then you pull befor no one is ther so it is only 4 who get it and like 8 players becioms mad for they dont get anyting for that person pulled then they were on the way

The rules have been established log ago.

If you pull the mob with the intent of resetting it then YOU will be banned.

Its a never ending discussion that will probably never get a solution.

The only way I can recommend how to deal with ninja pullers is by getting to the hunts before they do.

And if youre on the PS3 or a pc made out of stirring sticks and ducttape you might as well forget about it alltogether. The hunt will be dead, buried, respawned and killed again before youre done loading.

It has been solved by SE, they have stated that pulling "early" is not an offense as per the rules of the game. There is no such thing as an "early puller" they are first come, first serve. Only thing there is, are people that didn't make it and are butt hurt, like the OP.

My point is, this can go on forever and people will never stop complaining.
