This would fix things until the frenzy of these first few weeks dies down, after which it would make it very difficult for anyone not in a dedicated hunting group to get their weekly seals. As is, (or rather as it was before HW), you can shout that an A rank is up and get a few people together to help take it down because everyone has incentive to help. If they're reduced to "only hunt a specific one a week" on the A ranks, very few people would be willing to help out players who shout that they need help with their A ranks, because there would be no reward in it for them. Doing this would essentially reduce A ranks to a B rank hunt that players can't actually hunt on their own.....
EDIT: Putting this in here because I'm at my limit.....
The problem are those little sections I underlined there. You're stating that with top tier gear and with just the right combination players can two man A ranks. The problem being that the new A ranks require you to have your class at level 60 to take part in, as well as the new top tier of gear on said class. Expecting players to have to get to that point with "the right jobs" in order to take down an A rank, is a lot bigger of a stretch than expecting them to reach level 50 with i130 gear, because you have to first pass that level 50 point then continue on to what is truthfully a far more grueling grind than the first 50 levels, not including getting the endgame gear on said classes. This is fine for the people who leveled up the "right job" for this along with their friend who also leveled the "right job" to counterpart it, but the player base levels a large variety of jobs, and as such I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of players won't have the jobs leveled to take down A ranks in two man groups as you have suggested. The matter isn't one of "it can be done", it's one of "should we retroactively lock out most of the players from having access to said content that they can currently participate in".....
