Cross World Visitation is Hurting Hunts

[ShariusTC]

agree, outsider should not allow to gain anything from hunt mark on other server, before server cross happen, hunt train was very organized in my server, adamantoise, ppl just spread out and find all the mark, write down their positon before form a train and go kill them in a circle

since the sever cross happen, hunt train is very chao, to the point that i stop joining them since i feel that just a waste of time

This has gotten so bad that I've started seeing people making alt accounts and level skipping them just so they can troll the hunts more easily by avoiding the world travel queues.

W-what? That is so petty, what? That is beyond stupid.

Sad, but true.

A pair of generically named, obviously level-skipped players (Using the free shire gear + green ring) suddenly came into being on my server and were going about the whole of the Aether data center and immediately pulling all of the S ranks ASAP whenever they were called last night.

I'm now thinking it wasn't done for the sake of avoiding queues, but more so they could troll without people being able to identify their main accounts because they were clearly getting information from hunting discords/linkshells that would've kicked them if they knew who they really were.

There is no such thing as insta pulling or early pulling.
If you're late. You're late.

[strangethings]

Damn early pullers! I wish SE would do something about them!

Oh trust me, I am never late. The person I have a gripe with in particular does it explicitly to antagonize people.

If it's one person, tell the others on your server to git gud. Hundreds to thousands of "hunters" across the data center unable to compete with a single player lol

The problem, at least on Crystal DC, is that some of the insta-puller players use a third party tool that automatically notifies them when and exactly where S ranks spawn. They will always beat legitimate players to those spawns and pull them instantly. It's not like the other players aren't trying to get there - are you suggesting that they should also cheat in order to make it to the spawns?

It's great when people wait for others to group up before a pull but honestly nobody is entitled to the kill. It's not reserved for anyone's chopping board. If someone reaches the hunt before you and pulls it then I say fair game. If someone pulls it while you are there and waiting for others to group up, the same point applies. Is it considered bad manners? Depends on who you ask I suppose. Personally I believe this sense of entitlement needs to die and burn in a fire. People are willing to hop worlds to find hunts while others sit on their ass waiting for a shout in linkshell and then cry when they get beaten to the punchline.

I agree that nobody is entitled to a hunt, but wouldn't you agree that if someone puts in the work to spawn a hunt (like completing FATEs for an hour in Southern Thanalan) then the spirit of hunts is that they should be able to get to it and get credit for attacking it before someone else attacks and kills it?

They already use them

It sucks, but you can always pass on Nunyunuwi and use your time more efficiently. If you're talking about hunts in general, then no. Many hunts have easy triggers that would occur automatically or with little effort if hunters waited until the max cooldown had passed before attempting a spawn.

One hunter spends a few hours to spawn a hunt, but it wasn't off cd or rng didn't work in their favor, so no pop. A second hunter gets it to pop later with only a few minutes of effort. The first hunter is offline and gets no credit. Similar example that has nothing to do with trolls.
