To add to that, you KICK anyone from your friendslist who deals a lot of damage to it (nuking).
Seed Bearers last 24 hours, so plenty time for everyone to get a hit in, and you could technically nuke it yourself tomorrow if everybody behaves and only deals 1-3 points of damage to it. Nuking someone elses Seed Bearer is not only considered rude. It's even considered arrogant and selfish.

The rewards each attacker gets from a Seed Bearer (or any raid boss for that matter) do NOT depend on the amount of damage dealt, nor the amount of attacks made on it, nor the amount of attackers, nor the swiftness with which it was killed.
So there is really NO reason to deal more than one point of damage to it. Just make sure it gets killed before the 24 hour timer expires, which is considered the duty of whoever spawned it. (most people keep track whether most people on their friendslist managed to get an attack in before nuking their own Seed Bearer)
Though killing any raidboss some 15 minutes before it expires is something not even the "owner" could complain about, since people who attacked it did become invested in the matter. It's just a test of patience.
