Why are bad hunt behavior rewarded?

I like the cheap cheap venture coins.

The essentially free AF armor is also good if you're well behind the progression curve, or for glamour.

What surprises me the most is, people still doing hunts.

Well its in the game. Not my cup of tea but if ya want that glam that's locked behind that hunt currency then yeah...

What surprises me though about this thread is apparently, if you don't wait and/or call out for hunts, you're being rude.


People use that word but I do not think they know what it means.

[Niraye]

everyone was told at one point during one of the streams that hunts are first come first serve so no one cares anymore to wait for others

[DracotheDragon]

the thing is, Hunts are designed to be taken down by those who find them first, that is the point of a hunt, BUT becuse players know how hard it is to find or kill most of them we wait, the idea of fast pulling isnt against the rule or the idea of the hunt, but against the unwritten rule the players have made themselves.

for the people who are fast pulling all they tend to get is a stigma against them from players who recognise the name and a reputation, but again those are player made issues.

Ah

Social deviancy, how many good people have you killed and how many more will you take from us?

How dare humans in an interactive community develop certain expectations for behavior amongst themselves that help minimize conflict and aid each other in achieving mutual objectives.

How dare humans in an interactive community fight a mob they can kill. How dare they not waste their life waiting for people not actively hunting and in the zone at the time. The lazy people have just as much right as the people who hunted the creature and gathered their group to kill it already.

To be serious though, expecting everyone to conform to 'expected behaviour' of no written law is just asking to be butthurt. If no one else is there by the time their group gathered, tough. Quite clearly the other people aren't actively hunting, therefore shouldn't even care that they missed it. If they were hunting, start getting there faster/work better as a team to cover all areas.

"I got mine and screw everyone else" is a very sad way to live. I'd rather help out as many people as I can.

"You can get it now but please wait 10 minutes for all my friends to arrive, then another 10 minutes for their friends, and 30 minutes for that person to clear dungeon to arrive" is a very sad thing to expect people to do. I'd rather kill it when my party is there, since you know, we worked to find it in the first place. I'm all for helping people, but I won't promote laziness by wasting my own time waiting for them to appear from other zones.

Yeeeeep. There's always been a really fine line between actually getting help and just flat out leeching off the backs of others under the guide of "helping". In a perfect world if hunt's taught people to be proactive and search out their rewards on their own and learn that sometimes you just can't always get your way in life. Things would be better. Further, yes I am for helping others at my own discression. However trying to be a saint and helping the masses with their hands held out can very well lead to a life of constantly being walked on, just because in enough time gratitude can quickly lead to expectations.
