It should be a separate achievement for Eureka or none at all. The Hunt is something else.

This defeats the entire purpose of those achievements. NM have significantly easier spawn conditions. In fact, if we do a little napkin math...
24*3/2 = 36
That is thirty six NMs for every one S Rank hunt. Even dividing that by a third means you'll speed through an achievement that would otherwise take possibly years.
This, I'd rather not devalue people who have years worth of time spent getting those achievements also the way NMs have a fate-like system attached rather than a normal hunt tells you this wasnt intended, achievements are the only truly grindy thing left in the game, id rather not lose that please?
I'd rather that they would count towards the FATE achievements since we're running so many glorified boss FATEs in Eureka, but, sadly, we aren't event getting that.
I disagree, but I do think NMs should count for their own achievements/mount.
I’d much prefer for the Diadem NM achievement to be merged with Eureka (I believe there was some talk about this before, maybe? but I’ve never heard of anything concrete other than comments from others), because I would really like the “Notorious Monster Slayer” title, but Diadem is deader than a doornail... Or have another section of NM achievements for Eureka with titles.
NMs and Hunt marks aren’t really synonymous, so I don’t think it’s fair for NM kills to be granted towards, say S-Rank or A-Rank kills.
While I don't think every Eureka NM should count towards it, I think it'd be a good idea to have Pazuzu and Lamashtu count towards the S rank achievement, and possibly have Amarok and Fafnir count towards the A rank achievement. This might give some incentive for groups to actually spawn Lamashtu/Amarok.
LoL... no.
As someone who is at 16xx/2000 S Ranks and 15xx/3000 A Ranks, Eureka NMs don't even compare to the amount of work and dedication required for "the Hunt" Elite Marks.
They are not the same thing, and shortcut isn't really needed. The tiger mounts requirements are static now that it's been implemented, and as further expansions are released there will be more S Ranks and A Ranks added and more opportunities to get those numbers of faster. Though I'd desperately like them to consider adding additional S Ranks and A Ranks to old areas that are set to the current level cap too.
However, I'm surprised there is not an achievement for killing NMs in Eureka already... considering there were a series of achievements for NMs in Diadem. An series of achievements for Chains could be interesting too, particularly if the final reward is juicy enough. Get Chain #30 1000 times sound too easy?
