An example of why the ARR Hunts need an adjustment

[Settiesama]

Did XI get this much whining with NMs?

No, mobs were claimed in XI, meaning the first person/party to hit it were the only ones who could attack it, so competition for such things was expected and normal. Anyone actively hunting would know the respawn time. The idea for hunts in this game was also to be something of competition, but that was lost when people started believing that shouting out to people who aren't even hunting to come join and wait for the entire server to show up was the only way you should do it.
