Early Pulling - Is it wrong?

[Nicobo]

To those people mentioned "black list the bad guy"

Was is fool to blacklist the "early puller"? If you blacklisted him, next time you can't see him pull it.. ^^;

While it may be frustrating to miss out, I am not entitled to the hunt.
I have no idea how long the first people have been waiting (and it's cool that they were kind enough to wait for some people), but I believe it would be rude of me to ask them to wait any longer. So I just rush to the area, and if I miss out it was just crap luck. No one at fault.

I don't get some people in this topic. Is there such a thing as early pulling? Hell yea. There are times when you will find an A rank or spawn an S rank with only a handful of people around. If I just straight pulled it and killed it with a handful of people just as the call is going out to all the hunt LSs, would that be early pulling? Yea. It would be. On my server, from the time it's called to the time it's dead you have ~3-4 minutes at best. If something is getting pulled in 30 seconds it's factually earlier than the average pull. Do I deserve to be kicked from every hunt LS I am in? Yea. If you can't function as a member of a group, then you shouldn't be in the group.

Do people here really have such little sense? Wait until the call goes out to the LSs, give people a little time to get to the hunt and group up. Don't act like a clueless sociopath who is completely oblivious to how fast hunts get called, pulled, and die on your server. If stuff is getting pulled within 2 minutes, then everyone should be expecting that and deal with it. But, when that is the norm and you are pulling at 10 seconds, you shouldn't be mad when people call you what you are and blacklist you.

The fact that this is being brought up yet again must mean content here is running dry. I see no change in the hunts at all.

Hunts are just popular right now because you can get unstained logs to trade for twines and coats. This happens every time there is a catch-up patch that makes hunts relevant.

While there is nothing wrong in the rules sense, it's more of a courtesy thing to hold off attacking a hunt mark right away until more people come along.

So it's not wrong. It's just polite to wait and let others join in.

I've long since learned that if I don't make it in time to a hunt target, then I just shrug my shoulders and move on (it will respawn again after all).

It's the Game Theory. If everyone waits we all get more. However, what if the other guy doesn't wait? I should pull now because he/she would do the same. If I cheat and the other guy doesn't cheat, then I get it all. If I cheat and the other guy cheats too, then I get some and he/she gets some; we all get less.

Unfortunately, it's human nature; cooperation would mean more for all but the temptation of cheating and getting it all before the others catch on is too alluring.

One of the problems is people shouting out a hunt or linking them in LS over and over again... A hunt should be announced once and only repeated (or posted in other LS) within 10-15s.

Nothing worse than waiting 3-5 mins and then some slacker arrives finally just to post the hunt in all his LS again, like 'Look at me, I'm actually participating in this LS, hurrdurr.'

If you're not monitoring your LS and searching for a hunt somewhere you're not meant to get a hunt anyway.
If you're crafting, gathering, fating, idling, queuing, questing, etc.. consider everything you get as a bonus.
