hehe.. in a way, you kinda answered the question yourself when you said no one would ever think to track it. Curious minds tend to do curious things...else we wouldn't know half of what we know about this game.
The motivation was simply to see if what felt like a repeating pattern actually was, so I started noting when it was popping while I was doing other things....trials, tracking weather for future SMN's or other people's trials, farming my own geodes (not just fire, but all elements, as I have a ton of magians), farming in abyssea--that reporting site is a great tool. And sure enough, I saw a repeating pattern---not just of season, but actual alignment of elemental day, game date, and forecast. In doing so, I discovered that fire weather really is not as rare as people seem to think it is...they just have probably never actively been lookiing for it until now, and so may not have a firm grasp of how to find it efficiently. Some people seem to have figured it out on a much grander scale (at times can see the same name sell 10+ geodes in one day in AH), but kept their methods/info to themselves and have been reaping the benefits from their efforts. Just trying to share some of that information in the hopes that it might click for more people.
