The Hunt is no longer fun

[Syliani]

I kinda given up on the Hunt for a while due to a lot of impatience for anyone who would also wish to participate. There's also elitists circles who'll just rush in kill and rush out ahead of those that gathered to prepare to attack. This last incident was just too much as it was only 24 seconds after the first call, the S rank was killed. Please refer to image below.



I miss the Heavensward days.

Elite bills are pretty much a free for all. First come, first kill, first get. No wonder I opt to stick to the smaller daily marked bills.

Well, it's an S-Rank in ARR regions, so it will die quickly, and the more people wait, the more chance there is you can't deal enough damage to count for anything. Also, pulling whenever isn't disrespectful at all, it's actually encouraged, as it is a hunt, not a potluck.

And here I thought my server had early pulling problems with specific people... But to actually encourage not sharing hunts out of common courtesy and just pull and kill at your own convenience no matter who else may need said hunt? Glad I don't play on your server.

The GMs encourage it, I don't particularly care for the Hunt. If I see one and make it in time, I'm glad. Otherwise, it's fair game for anyone.

But ok, judge me for forwarding what the GMs said. :^)

nobody needs an A/S Rank. you only need the B Ranks you're assigned for the week.

I sure miss the days when hunts were civil and courteous. People would try to wait the longest they can, so others can get full seals rewards too. People used to shout "Anyone still on their way?" "Pulling in 30 secs!" etc. It's sad to see some people don't know how to share.

I hate that this mentality was even ever a thing. Sucks the fun right out of what Hunts were meant to be; the competition of your group getting to a mark before others was good stuff. Made actively participating something necessary and worthwhile, instead of hunters being a workhorse for everyone else while they meander in other zones waiting for a call out. That people actually expected these few folks to put out effort for the sake of others doing nothing and getting in on the reward was pretty gross.

As stated before, the sharing should be met with gratitude.

To retort that, most of the time, what I've first-handedly witnessed, the people who actually found or spawned the hunts are those who wait. And after they shouted and notified people, they still wait.

Then, along came some "selfish" jerks who just flew in from nowhere and started attacking, or bait other people into attacking (by aggroing the hunt and making it "active" making some people jump their gun).

So to speak, those late comers who early pull don't deserve what you described. Because they didn't put effort in finding or spawning it, either.

I do agree, however, that hunters should be active, and not just waiting for others to notify them of hunts.

PS. I am more pissed when I'm the first one who found and announced the hunt, and then some ass flew in to ninja pull it even before we had enough people, than when I was following other people's announcement and someone pulled early and the hunt was killed before I could get full seals. (You know, that furious feeling of "I found it first and I was still waiting, you knew about it only because I announced it and who the hell are you to decide when to pull?!?") But sometimes it was satisfying to see the early puller die because no one helped them. :3

I don't mind sharing at all, but when I KNOW some people leech, I wont even tell them anymore. There are far too many players who leech than actually look for hunts. They aren't any better at all.
