Increasing number of players using 3rd party tools

The only ones people got real up in arms were the radars for hunts. That really pissed people off, and rightfully so.

Those still exist and are arguably more disruptive now because they're part of the basic functionality for some of the most popular botting programs, which means that if a S rank spawns in the same zone as a bot, anyone who has access to the associated discord its relays are being sent to will immediately know about it.

There's actually a bot free way for a team to predict where an S rank will spawn. It involves killing the B rank in every possible spawn point you can find (and ignored the A ranks if they're up since they also share a spawn point.) If there's a place the B rank doesn't respawn, that's the spot reserved for the S rank when the conditions for the spawn are met.

Thing is, it's a LOT of leg work, so there's a reason usually a whole Discord channel is involved in the process.
