Early Pulling - Is it wrong?

[Snugglebutt]

What causes people to think that way? (Actually a genuine question because I really want to know.)

Why do you think everyone else should wait for you to arrive, wait for your friends to arrive and wait for the friends of those friends to arrive?

There is no universally accepted time limit, no consensus and by proxy no such thing as early pulling. The example you gave was not an example of 'early' pulling but could be construed as 'inconsiderate' pulling when specifically about person x triggered it but in terms of when it is not triggered (which is the case for most hunts) it is not inconsiderate to wait 1 minute just like it is not if waiting 20 minutes. It is however stupid to pull one when there is not enough people present to actually kill it. It is not needed to work together for a common goal on the scale you imply either by way of waiting for everyone who ever wanted to kill it to eventually get there which in reality would be almost never ending. Hunts were not intended for zerging, they were designed for small groups so as long as enough people are there to actually achieve that goal then regardless of whether they wait long enough for you to arrive people are still working together to achieve it.

The problem with hunts right now in my opinion is SE have made them too important for progression outside of hunts themselves, most people are not doing them anymore because they love hunting so to address this they need to limit the rewards to counter that. There is also the problem of being over leveled for the content and SE should enforce a level sync on them like they do with fates in my opinion. Another thing SE could do is increase the amount of hunt targets in the game in general and/or lower the respawn timers to counter balance the increased ratio of server population doing them when they do things like they did which is increased the rewards by way of hunt marks being used for anima upgrades etc.
