Fix Achievements to better suit some veterans....

I don't understand how some of the achievements are auto completed when u unlock em and some are not. Two great examples: The killing of mobs..... For 99% of us vets, these are unlocked at start, but then again, us that have sweat our butts and spent countless hours of our lives crafting get no reward towards the crafting achievements. If we have to start from lvl 1, syth 1, why not reset ALL the achievements accordingly to obtain them. I think it's very unfair that we would have to relive the first 1-2 years of ff14 ALL OVER AGAIN just to get these achievements. They should already count what we done in the past. Just like the mob achievements, the materia syths and all the others that got counted when unlocked.

They never had achievements for how many things you crafted or gathered, which is why they wouldn't have any save data for how many crafts or items you have gathered. Battle, like enemies killed, they did keep track of that, we got achievements on the lodestone for that from the beginning. Quests, we also got achievements for that pre 1.20. See that pattern, how do they give us retroactive credit for something they never kept track of.

Its true that the craft and gathering ones suck the higher level you are, because if you see a person ding 10 on a crafting class, they typically also get their first crafting achievement, meaning the achievements are probably how many synths it takes to get past that level range. Getting exp and achievements at same time is much more fun than going back and being like "ok lemme craft 500 hempen yarn/cloth"

I primarily play as a crafter and have spent about 80% of my time crafting. I work and have a family. This is very strange to not award some progress towards the achievement items. I know kills were tracked and synths supposedly were not. Not starting on an even playing field with battle classes doesn't seem like the correct way to go about things. Synthesis is already more time consuming than leveling battle classes, I was hoping it would be rewarding but so far it has not seemed worth it. To be told to re level everything again is not fun or anything I am looking forward to doing. The grind was long and it was difficult to get to max level. I just don't feel like grinding for many more months for a single item. For those that do, good luck.

No point to going back and redoing crafts.

this is the same formula they used with raids and they gear you get from them or stronghold gear, The items are shiny and not many people will have them, but just getting a tool from the wards and putting a materia on them will make them better than spending hours upon hours to get new "shiny" item.

they should have awarded it by lvl not number of synths,

for PPLs who said they dont track your synthesis data. just let you know they do, they have all the logs of your activities, even your private talks.
ok you can just close your eyes and yelling they don't, but on the lodestone website you can see your history: they know when you get what lvl of what jobs. base on the time of each version's exp point reward, they can get a good estimate. what i say is all the crafters with 50lvl over already achieve what they set there.
DOL is hard, since seldom ppl gathering all over 3 regions, but as a veteran miner, i lvled my 50 miner when there is still fatigue system, that means i only could get 150 picks every day and each pick will not be over 200 in average.

also in balance, if they award ppl with how many times they craft of gather, then they should award DOW/DOM base on how many times they defend certain lvl range mobs and how many times used certain group of spells.

our DOL/DOH dont want extra favor, we just want to be treated equally and little bit respected on our hard work, not be discriminated.

My opinion, if SE cannot give DOL/DOH reward instantly as DOW/DOM, they can do:
- let 50lvl DOH/DOL have meet the request of the silly requirement of the craft/gather amount.
- add 1 more quest like random appoint several different kinds of items to turn in.

It's apparent that the reason they are unable to award us these achievements because they never tracked this data. Square has stated several times that they need something to do with our guild marks. A player should have guild marks in proportion to their level and all guild marks have been refunded to us. Why not let us use these guild marks to purchase back these achievements that we most likely have earned? I am level 48 miner and split my mining pretty evenly among the zones during leveling up. I just started trying to get these achievements and realize just how crazy this is. I would pretty much do the equivalent of leveling my character from 1 -50 all over again! The achievements for harvesting require the same thing to be done in all 3 nations. I think it would be reasonable to let us purchase 2/3 nation's achievements with guild marks. We would have to go through the routine to be fair but not make us redo our whole class. I ground through the end of goldsmith to 50 this last month and am wondering why I did it. What a rip off! Where can I submit this suggestion to make sure they see it?

Good idea on the marks part - While not one to one, it is still a pretty good representative of how much crafting we did...lol
