Please implement a limited in-game hunt tracker for S ranks.

[Tranquilmelody7]

Then request a system that works like treasure maps or levequests. Instances can only hold about 350 players, so no matter what they do with syncing, buffs or invincibility, many will be locked out. ?

Naturally, not everyone that wants to participate in slaying a S rank will able to.
I merely use my right to extend a S rank spawn to as many people as possible whenever possible.
This is rather off-topic, as an in-game tracker would not infringe on my ability to do so nor would it prevent others from engaging any of my spawns whenever they wish.

Your suggestion would only indicate whether a hunt could spawn, not how long until it could.

That's fine.
Yoshi P stated he doesn't want to go as far as to have the game announce kill times for S ranks, and I actually agree with that sentiment.
Just let us know if a hunt has even a chance of spawning, and experienced hunters can take care of the rest.

Most efficient use of time is to not spawn hunts at all and let others do it while you wait for the relay.

So actually playing the game is a bad use of time?
Gotcha.
I won't work towards anything in this game and just let others work for me.

You know, the more i think about this topic, the more i think to myself that the hunt community has a pretty dang nice public tracker in Horus. Unfortunately, you have all of these 'hunt factions' that don't readily want to use Horus and use private google spreadsheet trackers instead. So no one ever knows what's up anymore that isn't a SHB S Rank. Use Horus, and this problem goes away.

Horus legit endorses several applications that violate the TOS of this game.

Furthermore, there are currently many S ranks on Aether with an unknown status due to having only having a probability of spawning when their triggers are fulfilled.

Without an actual in-game tracker, it's virtually impossible to determine if an old S rank with probability tied to their trigger are just being statistically difficult to spawn or have been stealth-killed.

The aether hunt community's "elite" on who the LS rely on break the ToS daily and even use market board bots to provide pricing commands on their discord. They're just as bad.

All in all hunt train organizations are freaking mafia and cliques. They're corrupt but everyone who benefits from the trains pretend they don't know.
I quit bothering with hunts after finding out stuff. It's such a joke right now.

Bots in general are largely to blame for this because several of the popular softwares eventually gained a built-in hunt radar function that will immediately alert every single player who is using that particular software via Discord or some other medium if a S rank is present in the same zone as them. Some of the hunt discords basically just gave in and started getting relays directly from the bots because the other option was trying to find S ranks manually when the bot users instantly know where they are, which has led to them being picked off before they could even locate them. It was especially bad pre-ShB before the S rank notifications were implemented.

There basically isn't an actual "hunt" left in hunting much of the time as there's so much bot traffic in the game as a whole that any S rank spawns tend to be immediately detected by them.

I've personally distanced myself from the discords and at most get indirect relays from them, otherwise preferring to spawn/locate S ranks the intended way.

The bots aren't doing any spawning. That still has to be done the intended way regardless.

It's the locating/relaying that the bots are affecting. To be honest, it's probably more the relaying. A lot of spawn groups already have the spawn location figured out by tracking A and B locations since last spawn. The relays still get passed into linkshells so other players get notified (linkshells are still more reliable than notifications from the Discord mobile app). The only question at that point is how many players make it before the S rank is pulled and dies.
