Thread: The Problem of Hunts and early pulling in 4.0

So, as a funny story kinda related, I joined a full party for the fox fate and people were super nice and patient to not trigger the fate until everyone was there. Right before we were going to activate, the fate disappeared because we took too long, LOL!!! About 60 of us were like "well... that sucks."

Wow...I honestly haven't had anyone mention something like that. Sorry all of you missed it, but it goes to show that some people are willing to wait for others to get there before pulling(isn't the timer on the thing 30min? If so, that's a bit too long to wait imo).

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.

Ah yes the obligatory "I'm SALTY because I came late to the hunt and only got partial credit" hunt thread has arrived at last.

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.

*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 mean honestly, they could just kill the target and never tell anyone they saw it. Most of ARR can be solo'd now, as it is I only announce to my FC and if none interested then I inform the LS.

I really just wish they would make hunts open tag... I always hated games that counts groups as a whole towards credit which just screws over people who want to be grouped with a few friends or not at all. If you participate enough, you should get full credit. It doesn't foster or create a more social environment...you get people spamming INV in shout, you group, you kill the hunt, and then everyone leaves. Totally pointless.

As others have said, early pulling is not a thing. If you want to Hunt, get out there with a party and find your own hunts. That way, you'll be sure to get credit.

Yes some people are nice enough to wait and they are awesome, but there are a lot who are selfish and won't wait. There is nothing to be done, as this is how hunts are supposed to work.

Maybe we can ask the community managers to put a sticky up there on the top of the forum...

'There is no such thing as an "Early Pull" - offically.'
