S-Rank mobs needs a invulnerability buff on S-RANKs

S ranks having spawn conditions is one of things that makes them engaging for some people (Namely, that small part of playerbase who actually bothers spawning them) so...no thanks.

I would like them to tone down the number of monotonous kill count S ranks, though, because those are not fun to spawn.

Hunt trains doing that are being truly petty

One of the issues isn't really player generated or down to any lack of effort in player efforts to get to marks.
It's simply the servers, with the seemingly ever present 'queue of over 50' being seen as soon as you attempt to transfer.
Even in the same world it can take repeated attempts simply getting to the zone, all the while personal frustrations rising in the knowledge you're going to miss the mark.

There is of course an immediate workaround that SE could do here. Make the S rank and subsequent rewards only targetable by people from the world it spawned on.
However, that would appear to be an extreme measure considering the current popularity of these marks.

They are really only popular because of how faceroll-easy it is to do them and gather points/currency/tomestones. Aside from server technical issues, it is the lowest effort thing to do for what is offered.

If there were other options that were both fun and with similar rewards for the time spent, more people would do those other things. Reducing the number of people who want to do hunts in the first place would be a good step 1. Perhaps giving equivalent tomestones for any activity done at max level.. like PotD or some new kind of boss-rush mode would be fun.

I gave up hunting S rank hunts by the time you teleport and load into the area it is already dead. They should make it respawn elsewhere and thos ethat killed it don't get in credit if they kill it again before their cd ends.

Haha, yeah. A while back I was doing maps with some friends and when we came out of a dungeon there was an A-rank nearby so we decided to kill it. About a minute after attacking it someone flies up and starts yelling at us to wait for the hunt train that's starting in 2 hours.

I just think the requirements of how many hunt kills you need for the mounts is unrealistic for a competitive "one party gets the kill" system. You literally need thousands for the achievements. Even with the trains, they take a long time to earn.

^ This, very much so.

On one hand they don't seem want a train to be a thing. But on the other hand they give us something to work on that requires obnoxiously hefty amount work it's almost unrealistic.

But doesn't FF14, and by extension YoshiP, respect your time??? /s

SE could just make them all fates and it would fix all of this. But that taboo or something?
