That's nice, sweetie.

The comment is a direct reference to the official policy: If you spent a couple hours spawning an S Rank, you have no say over anything. Anyone using a third-party tool can immediately detect it, engage it, kill it, and leave you high and dry. If you attempt in any way, shape or form to reset/leash the monster or somehow cause the person to die/lose credit, they can report you for griefing.

The official stance is that hunts are competitive.

I intentionally left out the part where this is a thread dedicated to an item that was obtained through competition.
