This problem has gotten really bad as of late as a new "utility" program that has a hunt sniffer baked into it among other ToS violating things has exploded in popularity.

This means if you spawn a S rank hunt, there's a fairly high chance it's going to be immediately detected and mass-relayed to every user of the program across the entire data center, especially in zones with high amounts of bot activity.

I've had a mob of random wanderers show up and start attacking something I spawned by the time I had found it.
