Early Pulling - Is it wrong?

[MomomiMomi]

You think I'm being discourteous to that one person who doesn't want to wait by asking them to either wait or stop hunting, and yet how many people is that person being discourteous to by pulling on arrival? 10? 50? 100? The kinds of pulls I listed in my posts are not being done by the actual hunters (the people who found and called the mark), but by the people who are arriving from other attempted hunts and/or other activities. In my opinion, people who ride/fly in and pull immediately are being discourteous to everyone both actively hunting and wanting to get in on kills by doing so.

Doesn't change the fact you're being discourteous to them, so get off your moral high ground. You're not better than them.

Nope.. That's why I don't bother with hunts unless I'm already there.

I don't pull to avoid drama, but in my opinion there's no such thing as early pulling.
Hunts are for hunters and if you're not hunting you may miss the prey!

I've never minded missing one, I likely never will. I find it quite silly to wait around for everyone on the server to arrive.

I also agree that it sucks to not participate in hunts and having to platter it up to someone who never puts in the work, but even though I participate a fair bit searching for hunts, I'll be in one zone looking, a call will be made, I'll come over and it'll already be dead. I've been on both sides and I can tell you it's absolutely annoying. Like.. what is your hurry? Is your stove on effing fire? Did your cat jump off the balcony? You can't wait 2 minutes for those to gather up? Because those late comers are also feeding you non existent early puller naysayers too by also looking for the very hunts you are.

My concern isn't for the lazy bastards who can't do the work. It's for the people who work hard for it that get left out.

What happened to being a community? Instead, we're resorted to pettiness and impatience?

I'm glad I'm just working on the one weapon...

I'll never forget when as a Bard I auto attacked an S rank hunt. It was epic, but really I was so scared that I was going to get yelled at.

As someone that has played multiple other MMOs where only the claimer can get credit and hit the mob... this argument hurts my head.

To me it is already amazeballs that multiple parties can get credit and participate.

Early pulling doesn't exist.... only "being late", "unlucky" or "having bad timing". Brush it off, and try to find the next one... that's my 2 gil.

this argument hurts my head.

Deffo agreed! As someone who also played those MMO's AND MMO's that do have multiple party/single player world event encounters where anyone can just jump right in. This is the only MMO where I seen these arguments take place. Their is no such thing as early pulling, if you're there then you're there, if you're not then you're not. No one is under any obligation to wait for the entire server to show up.

The people wanting to report for "early pulling" sounds like someone calling cops because someone cut in line at store.

Early pulling has been rampant on Hyperion as of late. Some people have told me the hunts are dead before they get there following the GW alert, that's pretty bad considering it is usually one of the fastest avenue of report. So it comes down to what is "early pulling", the person which decides when to pull should be of the group that discovered but as we all share Eorza and its inhabitants there exists an unspoken cordial window that defines right from selfishness.

But Early Pulling doesn't exist. What determines the right time to pull is if the group pulling has just enough units to destroy the target. Hunts have always been about being at the right place during the right time. If a target dies before you get there, then there's not much that can be done about it. It just probably means a lot of people are doing hunts at that time, which really shouldn't be a surprise either.
