Why are bad hunt behavior rewarded?

[Arutan]

Unless they are explicitly saying in chat that they are doing it for the express purpose of trolling, i.e. Griefing, there's nothing that will be done. As has already been stated, hunts are open world content.

Damn I should've keep a screen then. People often get into an argue with this FC so I guess it shouldn't be hard to have one.

First come, first served.

If you're able to kill the hunt mob with your party/raid/fc you're allowed to go for it ... I think some dev said that harrassement only starts if someone tries to reset an already engaged hunt mob.
And sorry, but it's not true: just because we're playing a MMO, doesn't mean you have to wait for the entire server. I played a lot of MMOs with World Bosses etc ... ppl wait long enough until they think they have enough ppl to kill - not a single minute longer.

Ok so what you are missing here is that they don't even wait. They see a mob, they kill it. Just because it's fun for them to see the salt in shout.

You seem to be missing the point others have already responded back to you, anyone one at any time either alone or with a group of other players can attack any open world mob as they see fit. There is no such thing as early pulls

There is indeed such a thing as early pulls, and people behaving the way described are jerks. It just so happen that being a jerk is not in and of itself breaking SE's rules.

Which means they already have enough people to kill it. They don't have to wait for you and yours to show up. Find it first if its such a big problem not trying to be mean but they aren't breaking any rules now if they are announcing it out in linkshells that's its been found and when people get there they already have killed it thats a different story.

I'm not missing the part of "they don't wait" because they DON'T have to wait since they are able to kill the mob with their party/raid/fc/whatever ... I know it sucks but if they manage to kill the mob it's their right to do so ...

SE should never have introduced Hunts because the community is not able to handle the salt. Also it's boring like hell ...

There's no real issue here though. If they're ready to take it on, they're ready.
If you wanted to kill it, find it first!

Whatever their reason is, they're under no obligation to wait if they have the force to beat up the monster. No different then any other open world content in any MMO. Even Yoshida in an earlier live letter said players were doing hunts not as he intended for them to be done (waiting for half the server to show up to one) and no there is no such thing as early pulling I'm sorry, even if you wait 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, or even 30 minutes there's always going to be that one player that flips out about early pulling. I've missed plenty of hunts, I just say to myself "oh well, better luck next time" and leave it at that before going out on my merry little way.

Damn you guys are so selfish.

Who's more selfish in this situation? The 100 plus whatever people standing around kicking dirt just wanting to beat up the monster and go about what they were doing. Or you for expecting 100 plus whatever people to keep standing around kicking dirt around waiting for you to come from wherever you were? It's why there's no such thing as early pulling cos early pulling basically just means "you hundreds of people didn't wait long enough for me to arrive"

You don't have to wait. You don't have to post the Mob either. If people do that its a friendly gesture nothing more because hunts are not designed to be a mass event. The only rude thing i see is that people demand that the finders have to wait at least 5-10 minutes until everyone arrives at this spot.
