Hunts - Preventing prepulling and sniping

[Rowde]

Yawn... "early pulls" definitely exist.

Y'all keep making up this ideal scenario where the person/party that fulfills the spawn conditions always gets to the S Rank first. Which doesn't always happen, particularly because, as I mentioned, the process by which the game determines Spawn points for S Ranks and A Ranks was solved by the playerbase this expansion. Sure for some S Ranks, this can make it easier to get in position and fulfill the condition at the spawn point, but for others that require the condition to fulfilled at a specific location at specific time intervals... and the spawn point is across the map... well "early pullers" can get in position for the spawn beforehand, not participate in the pop conditions at all, and possibly kill the mark before the players that fulfilled the condition even get a chance to get a hit in.

The SS Rank in ShB is a prime example of a mark that will generate a lot of salt once everyone is level 90. Players have to disperse across the map to kill its minions to fulfill it's conditions, yet it always has the same spawn point on each map... so it will be incredibly easy for a sizable mob to gather at the spawn point while minions are getting killed that can wipe the boss out before the players at the farther minions can even reach the SS mark.
