Why are bow users so dead set on not letting anyone hit wounds?

[Velkhi =VEX=]

I've noticed that pretty much every bow user destroys wounds not even 3 seconds after they've been made, not letting a single other team member hit it

This can be especially annoying if others need wounds to activate stuff like their Savage axe mode

They even do it while mounting, throwing you off and cancelinng the mount due to a flinch. Like why? That's a free topple and 1.5K damage with the weapon attack wasted

I don't want to generalize bow users, but this is almost every player I experienced so far

Edit: Let's just agree that this is simply a design flaw from Capcom: some Weapons rely on wounds to reach their full potential like Weapon activations or filling up their meter fast, Bow doesnt have that kind of mechanic but still rely on popping alot of wounds quickly to reach their true potential

Get good at landing perfect guards, problem solved.

Bow players were not liked in World and they are for sure not here and it is only a problem of those who play it because they think they should be the main character and the MC alone, so they get either kicked from quests or even better, just play with friends in a private lobby.

It was discussed on beta, it's just too easy to hit wounds with bow

You do not do 1.5K damage with your mounting attack

I'm a GS main so I dont really care as much as CB users, but I still watch out for others and dont just spam my focus attack in a squad

Solo I use my focus attack all the time, but in a squad I watch out for others

This never existed tho. Unless you play with idiots.

I don't understand are the bow hunters accepting an SOS? Why are you bothering to play with them anyways

I have a crit build with Flayer on my GS, every Tempered Jin Dahaad quest I do, I mount Jin Dahaad at the beginning and my mount attack does 1.5k damage on wound destroy

Didnt hit 1.5k there, but its the only screenshot i have rn that shows the high damage

Ion know about that one

They have the easiest time hitting them since they're ranged probably?
Not really a big deal, monster dies either way and can't control what other people do in a random group.

If it bothers you, you got three options:

1) Just deal with it, either focus on opening wounds for them to pop or be faster at getting to them yourself.
2) Play with a dedicated group to have "special rules" about it.
3) Play solo, now you get all the wounds.

This is realistically all You can do to control the situation.

Where did all this hate for Bow Users come from? Bows are stunning/toppling the monster for ~5 seconds when they go for Wounds immediately allowing all hunters to get free hits dealing their maximum damage and also dealing 200-300 dmg off of a free dragon piercer that doesnt make anyone trip/flinch except the monster.

Are you guys alright? No one complained when Heavy Bowguns were using cluster ♥♥♥♥ off bombs during Base World cause they saw what heroics did on YouTube.

As a bow user i gotta admit most bow users are NOT playing as a team which really sucks

Bow users often just take all wound attacks for themselves which kinda defeats the fun for non bow players.

[soul like that be capable of]

i would assume longsword users will be fighting over wounds but usually as long sword user i can hit them with an AOE attack the destroy them and give me my red meter
