Early Pulling - Is it wrong?

[Vivi_Bushido]

I'm probably gonna get some heat for this, and I don't mean to stir anything up in the event it does, but this is something that has been on my mind for quite some time. Early pulling in hunts. Is it bad? Is it wrong?

I'm curious to know how the community feels on this, because at least on Balmung; a lot of people despise early pullers. Yet to my known knowledge, this is not against the game rules. However some players will black list 'early pullers' and even go as far as contacting their FC leaders to report the individuals.

What exactly is early pulling? Pulling when you arrive? Pulling when your party gets there? Pulling within 3mins after it was called?

How long should you actually wait before pulling?
On a server as large as Balmung, you could wait five mins and there will always be somebody still on their way. There have been times I've seen hunts up for five and ten mins before pulled, and someone would still complain that it was early pulled.

If early pulling is indeed truly nothing to get butt hurt over. I fear that with the new report system, a lot of players will get reported and thrown into jail simply for being called out on pulling a hunt.

Let's discuss. How do early pullers make you feel? How do you approach the situation? How does the situation even make you feel? Do you even care?

Not only is it not wrong, but it doesn't exist. Literally no such thing as early pulling.

The only things reportable in hunts is resetting to grief others or calling out who you think "early pulled".

Pretty much this.

While there isn't such a thing as "early" pulling waiting for other players is considered common courtesy on most servers now, however you aren't by any means obligated to do so. Like anything else on the internet though be prepared for players to get upset should you chose to ignore that courtesy regardless of your feelings on whether it's justified or not.

Unless you're in a severe rush there really isn't any reason not to wait the like 1-2 minutes it takes for a few extra people to arrive, waiting for the entire server to show up is a bit unreasonable though.

Nothing wrong with pulling it as soon as you get there. You do not have to wait for people. First come first served. No such thing as early pulling in hunts.

Sounds a bit selfish don't you think?

So is expecting others to wait for you.

The type of person that would trip the person running next to them during a zombie apocalypse.

Waiting a minute isn't going to kill you. I'm not saying you have to wait for the entire damn server to pop up.

the question is...what is the righ amount of time to wait for people to gather.

If everybody that is on their way says give me a minute and everyone of them is one minute behind any one that says 1 minute you can wait an hour .....For some 2 secs is already waiting for others 1 mn is good but no matter what nobody will be ever satisfied if they dont make it on time it will anyway be an early pull even if the guy already waited 2mn

There is nothing wrong in pulling and there is nothing wrong in asking if people can wait ..if they dont wait...well tough cookie ..and it will be for next time ..

You are the one not there. It is not like you cant know when something is happening around this world.

Screaming for this is kind of silly. Like at a show, you are late and know you are going to be late you not going to ask the show to wait for you to make it there ? right ? (a bit extreme I know)

this whole too early, raging and the like is just silly.

Anything I would have wanted to say has already been covered by the first two responses.
