As you yourself noted, there are linkshells devoted to hunts, and that's going to account for most of the crowd. On top of that, all those players in those linkshells are apt to forward the news to their FC, which is going to bring even more players. I'm not sure what's annoying you about this. It's not like your drops are dependent on the number of players who are in on the kill. As long as you're in a group, you should get still full credit regardless of how many groups there are.
