Why are bad hunt behavior rewarded?

[Kosmos992k]

You know, it's funny to me. Hunts are the only content outside PvP that could really be described as competitive. Content that rewards good players and players that work hard because they out compete others. And yet, we have a cadre of players who under the guise of being considerate to others are decrying the competitive nature of the hunts. Honestly if you think that you can do it better, get out there and do it, beat the other guy to the mark. That's what hunting is, it's 100's of players in zones all searching for the hunt marks so they can slay them for a reward, you are truly competing with each other. All the crap about waiting, or early pulls or any of that is - not to put too fine a point on it - 'loser talk'.

If you don't get to the mark in time for the pull or to gain credit, so be it, you were too slow or in the wrong place at the wrong time. Whining about it and complaining about early pulls or people not waiting long enough is simply to cover the fact that you didn't make it to the hunt.

And that's coming from me, someone who I am sure many here consider to be a card carrying SJW.

I can't help but feel the "This is why we can't have nice things" vibe ringing from this sentence. We try to be competitive, we're grievers. We cave in and wait, trying to help, we're still grievers for not waiting long enough. SE sees all these comments and assumes people don't like competition and we may never see anything like it again in the open world. A real shame, and punishes those who actually love the competitive nature and just takes the loss of a kill with stride. Maybe add in FFXI Kings for a month or so with the same claim system, let them know what real loss of a 'hunt' feels like, might stop them crying so much over losing a couple of what we currently have.

Please don't give them ideas!

I still think they just need to give S ranks a lot more HP.

It's kind of silly how much more HP the rare FATE bosses like Coeurlregina and Odin have when their rewards aren't even going to matter to anyone who's already killed them a few times.
