    I don't have an issue with the "free-for-all" part.

    I do have an issue with the fact that due to the predictable minimum respawn times on S ranks, someone who is willfully soloing them and tracking kill times has a leg-up over everyone for the next spawn as well, which can allow them to effectively monopolize multiple hunts unless there's people constantly monitoring either them or the zones with unknown kill times. Ragnarok Online also had this problem with its rare enemies/bosses (Which, unlike S rank hunts, dropped tons of different valuable items) and enough people complained about it that they opted to eventually just publicize the respawn times on everything to give everyone an even chance at bagging them instead of allowing individuals to hog them.

    As I also mentioned, certain S ranks like Senmurv that have extremely tedious spawn conditions that can still reasonably be met by accident (Usually due to the presence of FATE bots in that specific case) are not something you want to try to spawn unless you can be assured it's going to actually show up.

    This change would make the hunt system more enjoyable for everyone overall (Well, except for the deviants who get off on monopolizing them, of course).

    Well, cross world visiting and now the multiple instances on some maps made hunting less enjoyable for me. The surplus of hunts because of that makes them more and more uninteresting. I'm to the point now where I don't hunt anymore at all.
    At least I have a count of 5 ShB A ranks and 2 ShB S ranks.

    Why not just give every S rank a certain day of the week and time so everyone knows beforehand when it spawns and no one can complain about "early pulling". Also no one would waist their time to try to spawn something.

    this wouldn't be an issue if mounts weren't tied to hunts. but trying to bring organization to a system that is supposed to be in chaos is... unfulfilling.
