ninja pulling hunts

[SaitoHikari]

Topic starter hasn't returned yet. I wonder why.

I should mention that at least in Sarg, it appears that the vast majority of 'hunters' aren't even actively hunting at all, just showing up when someone else finds something. You can pretty much tell when you only see like a dozen people or less actively hunting at any given time, and as soon as someone finds something, you suddenly see like three dozen people teleporting to the location, like clockwork. To those people, I have no sympathy. I actively hunt A-ranks/spawn S-ranks along with other FC mates, and we've never had any problems with people killing other hunt mobs before we get there, because we're usually the ones that actually FIND them in the first place.

Hell, my FC (and we're probably the reason why this thread exists in the first place) is probably responsible for 50-75% of the S-rank spawns in our server in recent weeks. Thanks to certain shenanigans (mainly someone roleplaying and pretending the hunt mob was a pet a few weeks back, which isn't even early pulling until someone joins in for real), we're pretty much blamed for early pulling all the time now, even if we're not doing it at all. There was someone salty enough the other day that she kicked a member of my FC from one of her parties when the hunt mob hit 10% HP (though he still got full credit because he was the tank, if anything that resulted in her party losing full credit). Later that day, when my FC leader joined her party as their tank, instead of casting Medica II to heal the entire party at once, she'd throw Regen on the other 7 members just to avoid healing her. Nevermind that she was pulling that crap on a S-rank that I spawned myself.

Basically in short, the vast majority of Sarg 'hunters' are lazy, and some take it to ridiculous levels in their spite. Hell, the definition of 'early pulling' has basically been stretched in our server to mean 'not waiting more than 5 minutes'. Because lord knows if I find one, I will wait a reasonable amount of time before someone else just shows up and pulls it themselves.
