An example of why the ARR Hunts need an adjustment

[Bourne_Endeavor]

To those players defenses, there's no rule saying you gotta report a death of an overworld mob.
Especially if they went and spawned an S rank themselves, they're realistically more than entitled to do whatever they want with it.

I would agree... if the devs haven't billed hunts as open world content intended for large amounts of people. They keep adding things to incentive hunts yet S ranks are incredibly inconvenient for even active spawners. The fault isn't with the group the OP mentioned but the system itself. If S ranks spawned more consistently, you could argue people can just farm Stormblood ones since those require a lot of people. But they don't.

And to hell with all the on-level charas in the zone, right?

I mean, let's be honest here. What level 50 player is doing hunts? Even if they join a hunt party, the higher level players will squash it in seconds.
