It's Time To Reconsider Removing Crossworld Hunting

[TaleraRistain]

Sorry, but you can't "reserve" hunts for a later train. Hunts are kill on sight by SE's design. SE not only never intended trains to exist, they dislike the trains immensely.

If someone finds a hunt now and wants to kill it now, they're doing nothing wrong. The moment you scream at another player for killing something outside of train is the moment that player can report you to SE for a 3.2 violation and you get yourself a ban. No group of players "owns" the hunts.

I completely agree here. There's nothing right about doing this. But it's like having fights within a family. You can bicker all you want but the second an outsider does it then everyone jumps on them, whether they were just fighting or not.

We absolutely had these fights on Jenova among ourselves. But like a family, we can take measures. We can pass the word around the server about jerks trying to claim things and run people off. We can tell their FC they're being jerks. That's not as easy with some random mook from another server.

The lag issue is another good one that's been brought up. The area around the Hunt is just awful for anyone trying to do non-Hunt things there, but the zones themselves get bogged down as well even in places not around the Hunt when tons of people just port in. You could still get lag if a lot of people from the server showed up, but there is an upward limit of who is on the server at that time to keep that in check. And when someone complains, I've often seen them tell people to just deal with it, we'll be gone soon.
