I read something on another forum where a guy was out farming, happened across a B rank, and started to just solo it. Apparently one of the "zone scouts" found him with it half dead, shouted to the whole zone calling him names, telling the entire server to blacklist him, that he was an awful person; a bunch of other people showed up and started harassing him as well. Could he have called out to the zone where it was? Sure. Was he obligated to? Well, I'm not going to answer that...
If this actually happened, then the zone scout is in the wrong, and I doubt the majority of hunters gave a rip. I'd be willing to bet that the "bunch of other people" was probably just two or three people in shout. Regardless, the people who harassed him are no different than the trolls who repeatedly pull early... they care more about getting reactions from people than actually playing the game. These people exist on both "sides."
I've killed several B ranks though that I've happened across while not actively hunting. The B-rank mobs spawn once an hour, they barely (if ever) drop books, and people don't really care too strongly about them, and least not on Hyperion.
But would I just start whittling down an A rank if I found it with my FC? Hell no. I'd call that out and let others enjoy the benefits with me. No good reason not to... and it's just the right thing to do.
The point I was trying to make is that because of the way the content was designed, situations like the above exist. Whether or not it happened exactly the way he claimed it is unknown to all but him, but I can guarantee this isn't the only situation like this occurring. Had it been implemented differently they could have easily avoided these problems. But, it is what it is. I'm just pretty surprised how SE seems to not really understand that a lot of people are unhappy with the system.
