I think its time for Square to make changes for the hunt system. The first thing I would do is make some kind of a hunt claim system. You would have to use a simple tool to claim your hunt, and after a short amount of time, you may proceed to kill. During that short time, combat will be prevented. I would suggest a three minute time on A Ranks, and a five minute time on S Ranks. This could still be abused, people might start leaving players with other hunts in order to "claim them", but this was the best thing I could think of. Early pulling should be prevented.
