Suggestion for 4.X hunts

[Lambdafish]

This would work very well with active (high populated server), but how will this affect the servers with low population?

Make the hunt invulnerable for the first 10 seconds of being pulled, then calculate the health based on the number of people in the zone. And as Kazrah said, SE NEEDS to update these calculations with each gear update, otherwise the whole system becomes a mess (look at ARR hunts that melt at the faintest scrape)

The cynic in me thinks this may give birth to a new type of hunt 'trolling' in which parties of people go into a map with a hunt to make it stronger and then refuse to participate while they watch the people there to actually kill it die in vain to something they have no chance against. Probably not too likely but still possible.

Given how zerg rush hunts are, this would be futile and would be outweighed by the amount of people actually participating. The thing I would worry about is the people just in the zone who aren't participating (maybe a radius rather than the entire zone)

ofcourse the exploit would be, on paper, is to just have 1 party pull it initially then have 5 to 10 parties [everyone else] zone in - but who does that in hunts? and the pulling party could've died and the boss reset by the time the cavalry arrives)

Except the hunt won't be THAT hard, making this exploit kinda pointless, doing that requires mass coordination that I don't think the community is capable of, and the results aren't really worth it.
