Bring you A and S Game V achievment has created toxicity in the community.

[MistakeNot]

Once there's more than 20 people at an ARR S rank, you start to get a lower & lower chance at full credit.

Which is why one tries to join a group for all the hunts - in a group everyone gets credit according to what the group as a whole accomplished, making it much easier to get full credit.

A bigger gripe I have is when I get accused of an early pull when we've been standing around for 5+ minutes, and you THINK it's an early pull because it was just relayed to your hunt LS in the last 30 seconds.

Yeah, that can get ridiculous. I remember once when the Behemoth FATE had spawned, and people were waiting patiently for everyone to get there. It wasn't pulled until 10-15 minutes after the FATE had spawned and the first calls had gone out - and there was STILL a person complaining about an early pull.

To the did you find it crowd: Yes, I regularly find A ranks and post them to various linkshells.

It's mostly the ARR/HW S ranks that this applies to, the ones that spawn very infrequently that people have outside of the game timers that other players don't have (that are probably against the TOS).

Anything over 5 minutes and I have no sympathy, but when you drop everything to get to a hunt and it's been dead for a while, that is where I have my issues. Especially when people starting going to a zone and teleporting starts to take more and more time.

A ranks are borderline farmable and really aren't the weak link of this achievement. I have close to 1K of those but not even 300 S ranks just because it takes so damn long for the S ranks to spawn.

Pray tell how would that be against the ToS?

As for people talking about credit, it's enough to tag the S ranks in order to get a tick on the achievement.

I doubt it is because of the Mount being added. In HW we had a particular hunt group on Leviathan that would pull early, reset them so there friends could get credit, etc...
So it was toxic before this

The achievement and this toxicity you speak of have almost no connection whatsoever. This has been happening since Hunts were added.

Didn't see such an uptick in my last couple of days on Balmung prior to taking a free transfer off during SB early access, and haven't really seen such a thing happening on Zalera. Now there was mountains of salt early on when I moved because Zalera natives took significantly longer to get to hunts or would wait a lot longer than the Balmung/Gilga refugees were accustomed to. Over time, there's been what I'd call a meeting in the middle, where the transfers became a little more patient and natives started getting into gear a little quicker. That would've happened regardless of the achievements being added or not.
