    Since we're from the same server, I find a lot of inconsistencies with your post. So allow me to explain what I see how hunts are handled mostly on Hyperion. Keep in mind I am mostly a passerby when it comes to hunts, and if I am not busy and need seals at that point (or bored xD) I usually tag along.

    When it comes to A ranks:

    Someone will usually do a shout in one of the most populated areas, such as Kugane, The Reach, Mor Donuts, etc. It just depends on who is where usually I would believe, so the word gets around that a train is forming and give the position of where the hunt train will be starting.

    This same message also goes through in Hunt LS chats, so plenty of notices both through normal channels and worldwide exist, so there isn't much of a reason to NOT join up with the hunt groups and tag along (Are also free to set up your own A rank train party through the PF to grab stragglers if parties are full).

    Now once people start showing up, folks will usually wait a good while, usually doing a shout to see if anyone is on the way (which a new thing they have been doing, at least on night trains, so it's kinda nice ).

    After a bit, folks do what they do best, zerg until dead! Once it's down, someone will then post the position and area of the next mob in the train, and you can either catch the teleports, or start your own and move on. Rinse and repeat until all A ranks are gone. Everyone gets seals, clusters and people are happy.

    It's this kind of organization that makes A ranks so nice and painless. Unlike S ranks, where it's basically a free for all.

    You say your getting yelled at for trying to kill a A rank you found. Sure, they can yell at you, but you did find it, so kill it at your leisure. Honestly, there is not much they can do to stop you, since your not breaking any real rules, so if you kill it before the train, they will be salty sure, but they will just move on to the next. There are plenty more up.

    Just remember that your also doing the same thing you have a issue about, which is killing a A rank solo SOMEONE ELSE might be wanting for seals as well. Your creating the same problem on your own that your trying to solve!

    You also state that no one shares the position of the next one that the train is after, besides the fact that the train does shouts for the next Hunt mob for both those in other parties and people that may be coming into the hunt train late..so...do you have your chat disabled?

    There is also the notion that a Hunt LS requires you to use a third party program to join in on hunt, which is laughably false. Again, the position of hunts are called out through LS channels, or even in shouts. No outside source is required unless you are keeping track of all hunts and timers. If you just want to get to a hunt, none of that is required, just a Hunt LS. (And if one is rudely forcing you to get a tracker, and you don't feel comfortable using a outside source, then you were better off getting removed from said Hunt LS).

    Lastly, how can a entire server be blamed for your computer issues? There is nothing we can do about the slow load times. That unfortunately is something that will have to be resolved on your end. You can't expect a entire server full of people to cater to you only. Eureka is different since the instance scales NM differently, up to the point NMs can be nothing but HP sponges.

    Hunts are rough due to our ever increasing power ratings, and it's only going to get worse come the new expansion. There is only so much we can do and yes, some people will miss out on one or two hunts, but it is not the end of the world, and there are good people out there doing their best to organize random strangers so that everyone can have the best and fair experience possible.

    My apologies to everyone for the long wall of text here..but it was just too much to see the degree of false information, at least where A ranks and trains are concerned.

    Really? I find one I shout and LS. Also some times I even use the novice network saying that its lv 70. Then someone tells me Im inpatient or rude or wrong for not just joining the train. For your information I was booted from my second hunt LS when I told em I don't want extra stuff around the game. No extra apps or sites to report or track hunts. Its a difference of opinion and folks look down on me for it. I know I'm not alone. Others share my view.

    As to your thing about my pc. I have tried to play on my new pc, old pc, and original model ps4. When I try I just can't keep up. If they did not instant pull it would not be so bad. When I had the nerve to ask about that I was told they use the same route each day and I should know it.

    Also I imagine a person out in the field with a quiet linkshell, like mine, might not get the hunt info if they did want in. What about people playing other parts of the game? If they don't own hunt any more then anyone else why do we have to play it on there terms? At least most of the time because there a mob. Few people can beat a mob. There not wrong but many don't act nice to people who don't join em.

    Typically a hunt LS will use that extra stuff so by going into that linkshell and demanding they stop is kind of your own downfall. I would say start your own linkshell and go from there If you feel others share your view - get those others.

    As far as world visitation goes there's going to be some culture shock all around. Levi and Ultros use PF and don't invite via /sh. Hyperion, Lamia and Behemoth seem to be Free for all. So if you don't want to join the train on Hyperion just go out and /sh and kill.

    There is nothing really called early pulls in this game - so if someone gives you a hard time you can report them. but -- at the same time if you grief them back, and mock the train then your probably going to find yourself in hot water too.

    So get to work on your own ls and what not then getting on the others for their decisions on how to play the game is my advice to you.
