New Achievements, none of our past dungeons count

ITT: "Oh Noes!!! They want me to keep tanking when I play a tank in this game! How terrible of them!"

Yup was already down this road before when they first introduced Achievements for Gathering and Crafting in 1.0.

Meh only thing i dislike that the only dungeons that count are the EX, now i'll be honest i haven't really did that many of those yet and i'm not planning to run those a few hundered times just for a achievement :P

And it only applys to ex primals and coil which will not improve the Q time in regular DF. When most players say "there are not enough tanks" they mean not enough for most DF quests which are 4-man and non-ex 8-man...SE got the message wrong.

I have no problem running EX or coils to get my mount, I'm just confused on how this solves the tank shortage problem :P

I think its to force a rush to 50 for current tanks and keep existing tanks out of dungeons. That way we either all stop doing dungeons entirely or some of us switch to tanks and make life miserable for each other to an even greater degree.

I'm as tanking-is-my-main as they come. I have tanked every attempt of coil since launch. Conservatively, I have tanked, as pld, 30 weeks of 1-4, ten weeks of 5 and the token quest every week, so let's say nine weeks. 127 8mans as pld. God knows how many farm runs.

Pre 2.2, I had i90 with Allagan both pld and war. I have tanked every dungeon from cm spam to Titan hard relic progression to WP speed runs for everyone cus most tanks couldn't hack it at first to solo tank/stun Twintania. And now you want me to spam old content no one needs?

At least make it so low level dungeons and 4mans count. People need tanks in their groups to level and to earn stones, not for marginal side grades on gear 20 ilvls too low (1-4 & GTI Ex).

Make it so I have to be 50 to earn credit, but any dungeon counts. I would love to have a reason to tank sastasha for those poor dps trying to level up who are stuck in queue.

Any 800 dungeons as pld 50. At least I'd be helping people who NEED tanks.

I think the dungeons that count should be increased to cover all level 50 stuff probably excluding CT because it's kind of too easy even for pugs. Low level dungeons should have a different achievement with different reward.

They also should increase the number required, but make it so harder dungeons increases the progress faster. Maybe ifrit hm gives out 1 point, titan hm 2, ex primals 3 with titan ex giving out 4. High level and expert dungeons should give out 2.
