Stop trapping EVERYTHING.

[ThiefKingIX]

It does not earn more rewards, or money. You receive 0 benefits for trapping EVERYTHING. You only earn CAPTURE rewards over carve rewards and Capture rewards actually LESS since you can only trap a monster once but you can carve it three times.

This entire community is basically trolling itself and it doesn't even seem to notice. I've had groups getting one hit killed in Sunbreak because they're armor is outdated, likely because they've done nothing but capture and now have a massive loot deficiency and lack the raw materials to make even a moderate upgrade. Keep capture to capture only missions and if you have a mob that NEEDS to be captured but don't have a quest. Solo it, it's easier and faster that way and you don't have to worry about overzealous people killing it while it's having a seizure in the trap.

it does thats why people trap it LOL.... majority vs you...
break parts, capture = even more loot, specially rare gem

You know capture/kill give on some drops different rates, yes?

People do not capture everything - it depends on what they need.

If Joe McRandom is winding you up by not playing exactly how you expect them to in a public lobby, then it's time to take your own advice about playing solo.

I am starting to get very bias for capturing , like every time i capture a monster it always result in a Mantle .

[Vahnkiljoy]

Sorry I'm running around in full Barbania, captures ahoy!

If someone pops a trap at the end of the hunt without me as the host asking for it, it's a kick from me. Simple as that.
With a bit of practice, that player is gone before the second tranq bomb hits.

[Sluggy]

If I join a hunt and there are 2/3 faints, I am trapping regardless of how the host feels.

[Cathulhu]

Which is acceptable, a capped monster is better than a failed hunt.
I as a host won't object to that.

But if there wasn't a single cart, or even just one, i see no reason to capture unless the loot table favors that. Which most of the time it clearly doesn't.

The benefit for trapping is it's faster. faster quest completion, faster quest end time. just speed clearing. capture rewards aren't less either, it's 3 rewards either way. carve or cap. don't believe me? check the rewards screen sometime.

[Sluggy]

Agreed, if no carts or 1/3 I'm not attempting a cap; it isn't my hunt to worry about reward tables.

Maybe you should check the Hunter's notes and the drop rates between CARVE and TRAP.

maybe you should learn to read. because i clearly never talked about drop rates.

[Cathulhu]

Well, ask the host what they think about the drop rates, especially when they are looking for a rarer one and capping either eliminates or reduces the chance to get it.

Don't be an abbreviation of Richard.

Just cart up 3 times. its sort of like 3 carves but a few letters are different.
