I am looking to get more insight into the community's views on how hunts are handled by the community. It has been said that devs intended for hunts to be competitive, that they were only intended for the people in the immediate vicinity of the find. But we know that current A ranks (now at level 70 I mean) are designed to be taken down by at least a full party if not requiring more.

So SOME networking is necessary in order to hunt successfully.

Then on my own behemoth server, this kind of stuff happens:

So is the intent for communities to police themselves when it comes to hunts? Makes me wonder how Japanese servers deal with theirs.
