Anyone who has beaten MSQ has probably also tried to do a Dawntrail A-rank hunt train or S rank. However, that also means that almost everyone who participates has experienced, at one point, getting killed midair trying to get to the spawn location by the new A/S ranks. Dying midair takes a lot longer than dying on the ground and also teleports the player back to the closest aetheryte, where they then must wait for a raise or return to home point and then teleport back. With the massive attendance of hunts right now, this also means that they completely miss the rewards for participation. This is a very frustrating experience for a lot of players to be denied in such a way.
So, SE, please consider reducing the damage done by Notorious marks when mounted. Mounted players cannot contribute (either by attacking or healing), nor can they get credit (even if shirked by a party member). Therefore, they should not be punished the same way as those who already have confirmed participation. There is already some safe measures in place, such as not being affected by debuffs if hit in midair, but that does not protect players from raw damage.
(To clarify, I think the regular damage is fine and does not need to be adjusted. I know the situation will improve as better gear comes out, but I still think this is a good safety measure to take, especially when considering future expansions and also newer players who would not be as well geared.)
