Thread: The Problem of Hunts and early pulling in 4.0

I personally use the daily hunts as a way to help get those materia faster, and just in case I don't make it to the A/S rank on time due to load times/not seeing it called out.

You can't have it both ways unless, as I previously stated, you are fortunate/fast enough to get their and put some work in before it dies. If you didn't make it in time, suck it up and go back to doing whatever you were doing or actually start taking the time to be the first or one of the first to find them. The whining about hunts dying too soon is the result of people's false sense that they deserve the kill merely because they received a shout/ls message saying it was up. Sorry but you don't.

It really doesn't get any simpler than that.

*Fails to see where I complained that I missed a hunt, as I stated that I use those other methods to get centurio seals in case I missed the call/got there late...as in I moved on and didn't bother saying anything along the lines of "damn early pulls, they all need to die in hellfire"*

I didn't fail to see anything... your statement comes off condescending, like you're stating that there's another way but that it is not as efficient/viable. Well of course it isn't, the weekly/daily marks are there to accelerate the acquisition, not replace it entirely. If you didn't mean it that way, you would've been better served saying nothing, as that is really what you added to the conversation if that were the case.

Also, "you" in my statement didn't really mean just you and only you... it is referring to anyone who wants to whine/complain about hunts because people didn't hold every single mark until the entire server got there.

Did you even notice the word HELP in the first sentence? As in you see the shout/LS announcement for the hunt, you try getting there, but oh look, someone pulled it and it's already dead. Guess those hunt bills will help you until you are able to get to the next one. But I'll leave you to believe what you wish to believe, because well, free world/freedom of speech/can't control others thoughts or actions/whatever you decide to feel.

Stating what you did makes no sense unless you were injecting sarcasm into the statement in a passive/aggressive sort of way.

If you weren't I apologize for assuming you were but it still doesn't change the fact that in this case, you stated nothing but the obvious and in no way contributed to the actual conversation being had which was whining about people "pulling hunt mobs early", not about alternative methods for scoring seals.
