Cross World Visits Are Ruining Hunts

[Racen]

It's great on Primal.

[Akira]

how about if you have wanderer status you can't engage hunts until someone from that server has pulled the hunt already?

[CelestePinke]

Yes, you are correct that he left and nearly all the same people that started that mess are involved in the cross world hunts now.

I agree it is a major issue. But let’s not blame “culture” as the primary enemy here. Hunts just aren’t designed for cross world play, it breaks the system, the problems will exist whether “western” or “eastern” culture.

I wouldn't say it's an issue of Cross world visit. It's an issue that will arise with high population regardless if World visit existed or not. What those on low population servers see now and consider a problem was already regularly happening on high populated ones.

There are no early pulls; only late arrivals.

There are no bad smells; only palates unappreciative of rotting garbage.

Hunting would be so much cozier if the sniffer apps didn't exist.

Relaying to hunts to a public channel that literally everyone on the DC can see just leads to disorganization and frustration on the part of the majority who don't use the app.

It also promotes lazy "hunting" where people will just camp out in zones with open windows and wait until someone else spawns something so they can call it instantly.

Does more than just ruin hunts. Also makes it where have to queue to login to your server. Because it's filled up with ones from other servers. Before world visit could login instantly now have to wait 5 to 10 minutes to login to my world. They just need to add a database world wide market board and quit letting one's visit other servers.

You make it sound like there were no problems like this before world visit. People are level 80 with savage gear. They can spawn and solo S ranks and fire at will against even Stormblood A ranks unless there's particularly annoying mechanics like getting eaten or the one Yanxia one that spins. Lazy people will be lazy. I look out for S rank call outs and hurryhurryhurry to get my credit and go right back to idling and looking at discord.

Fite me.

I think at this point the thing I'd like most is for the hunt scholars to note whether or not a S rank is available to spawn because the public spawn notifications make accidental spawns much more prone to getting picked off by randoms who won't mark the time of death anywhere, which tends to lead to it getting picked off again as then nobody has any idea when it'll actually show up next.
