That isn't a contradiction. People already ranked have literally no incentivize to keep playing if they want the Hellhound. This influences queues, thus making it incredibly difficult just to play enough matches. There's a reason virtually every competitive PvP game has some form of rank depreciation. It prevents people from sitting on their title after the first week.

I'm not gonna lie I think normal tier rewards are pretty bad and should be improved. But arguing that top 100 shouldn't get anything special is just downright sad and makes you look bitter.
It's called having a differing opinion. If I cared enough about the Hellhound, I would be playing PvP. Overwatch lacks any exclusive rewards besides promotional stuff and it's currently among the most popular PvP games in the world.

Ok, if they won't do it they won't get it right? That is pretty much how any game works. Saying that 'they just won't do it' doesn't mean anything haha. What a dumb thing to say.
Only when you strip the context and don't actually read what I wrote. The whole point of this reward is to incentivize PvP. If it fails to accomplish that objective, then the devs have to come up with a better alternative. If the devs only wanted to reward current PvPers, they wouldn't be constantly trying new ways to entice people to PvP. They aren't because there isn't any incentivize for them.

You missed the point entirely. The devs are attempting to incentivize people who aren't inclined to PvP to give it a whirl. You do not accomplish this with exclusive content. It will not work, hence why games like Overwatch or virtually any FPS make the rewards difficult to obtain but always obtainable. Call it entitlement all you fancy, if the end result is dead content, you've essentially wasted your time developing it. Right now PvP in FFXIV is on life support. No one does it save the initial few weeks of a new map release. If the intent is to change that, you have to address why people aren't interested.

Bringing up Legacy rewards is little more than a strawman. They aren't designed to incentivize content. Mounts and minions in PvP are put there in the hopes more people will participate.
