Early Pulling - Is it wrong?

[Exantra]

I've stopped caring at this point. On a personal level if I find a hunt I'll do my best to facilitate as many people as possible since we're all going after the same thing. It's just naive to expect everybody else on any given server to adhere to a similar mindset, nor is it really feasible on the bigger servers during prime time hours. They're not obligated to stick to any code and they're certainly not breaking any rules. Others simply don't care or lack and/or withhold the compassion to care about those outside of their own small groups. As nice as it would be, they're not going to change.

I really think something most be done.

I'm not sure how is in your servers, but on Sargatanas the "early pulling" has become a thing and its compleatly abussed.

There is an FC that one of the reasons for what was made, was for early pulling. Those ppl are one of the firsts ones to arrive and the firsts one to arrive. They dont call that the hunt was being found or that was being killed. So yes they kill hunts on silence.

A lot of of ppl dont make on time, and to be worse mock to ppl that couldnt make it.
Yes sure, ppl tried to talk to them but is no use, and blacklist doesnt work, they just keep doing it.

This guys have fun on early pulling and watching how orther ppl couldnt make it, and they laught of it. They have being doing this since the release of HW.


It is really fair?

Yes, first come, first served.

On Cerberus, the solution has ended to be radical : exclusion from hunt ls and if several people from the same FC early pull or ninja pull, the full fc is banned from hunt ls. Many people calm down.

Sounds like a good solution to me considering I don't even use a hunt LS.

This comes down to an entitlement issue. I'm not sure on what level of interest in hunts everyone is on, but I'm not currently part of any hunt LS and I only have a mild interest in hunts.

For someone like me to whine about early pulling is really unreasonable, and I don't. As such, I instead lower my expectations: if an S is called out, I assume it's already been pulled and will be dead when I arrive. If an A is called out, I assume I have anywhere from a minute to 10 seconds to fly over before it's pulled. If it's a B rank, I giggle to myself if someone asks for an invite or groan if someone makes a lame pun about it (Scarecrow and Naul, anyone?).

If I was more engaged in hunts, I might not so much raise my expectations but raise my level of preparedness. If a timer is about to be up for a hunt, I'd zone in to the area and start looking. If it's an S rank, I'd try to help spawn it.

The way I see it, you get out of hunts what you put into it, and should only expect as much when it comes to arrival times.

Yes, first come, first served.

No, its not.

Problem with this is many of these trolls still have dedicated friends who are willing to overlook or assist these trollish actions and it only takes one friend in a hunt LS to alert them.

I simply blacklist early pullers so they can never join my hunt groups. Also i use a very simple macro
/shout S Rank <t> Pulled by <tt>
As soon at it shows as aggroed i hit that. Let the hunters sort out how they feel about the pull

[Cakekizyy]

No, its not.

IIRC, SE has stated that was intent of hunts.
