Parsing is a necessity in almost every MMO because of this, and the fact Square Enix still won't produce a proper addon API becuase 'parsing bad' is annoying.

Also, how do I make bait like this? I know I just took it, but that was masterful.
I play on PS4. I don't use any mods and afaik there aren't any mods even available for PS4.

From my vague understanding of the topic of "hunt radars," back when I started playing in 2.0 there actually was a 3rd party program that detected, flagged, and relayed (to other users of the program) hunt marks. At some point during the many patches throughout 3.0 that program stopped working and hasn't been updated since. Everyone I know generally disliked this program as it often resulted in the ppl that actually worked on popping S Ranks missing the mark entirely if they spawned on the opposite side of the map from the trigger.

Nowadays there is only a program that can detect S Ranks afaik... So when ppl do triggers they know immediately if the S Rank actually spawned, but then they still have to go out and find it and do calls/relays once they do.
