Please relook at the You Got Game achievement

[AmalahRose]

I agree with this, I've attempted to hunt S ranks but had to just give up because by the time I would load into the zone people would already have zerged it to death. At least lower it a bit or make S ranks spawn more often.

It's an achievement. Why should they change it?

Can we get free jump and story potions too? I don't want to spend time playing this game.

Does anyone have any proof of someone either clearing this achievement or having the mount from it?

There was a post up on the ffxiv subreddit a few days back with this image. Apparently the guy has been the leader of one of the biggest hunt linkshells on Balmung since early ARR, so it makes sense he would have it by now.

Also: It isn't nearly as easy to get now that the widely used 3rd party app to track/share hunt data doesn't work.

I for one, am happy to see an achievement this near impossible. I remember the good ole days of MMOs when the top of the top got things others only dreamed of, now it's "everyone gets a piece of the pie." If you didn't do the work the above mentioned person, you don't deserve this mount.

And games like that are either ghost towns now or had to drastically change their format to fit the change in the MMO scene. Plus there are good points made in this thread about how if there isn't an environment of cooperation that this only rewards the griefers on the server. Just like it was back in those MMOs. You were a sucker if you cooperated. The way to get ahead was to step on the backs of everyone else to get what you wanted. It was cutthroat and unfriendly and I never want to see that happen in this game.

We use this on Balmung and it's usually accurate for S ranks.

Why would they create a mount that only a really small amount of people can get? And we are talking about a really small amount of people. Only those that hunted from the very beginning of this game will have a chance to get it in in the near future and anyone that start now will not get it for years.

At least with the huge amount for the mentor roulette mount you could do as many roulettes as you want each day. Yet with S they are on a timer and you are not even guaranteed to get it.

So please stop with such achievements. There is no fun in doing something where you know, that you will have to do it for years and get every single S to get it. There is time investment and there is "nearly impossible" and I already know that I will not try to get this mount simply because I will never have enough S kills anyway..

And again did a mount ended in content that barely anyone will get done. Just like the mount in PVP that people wanted in PVE yet only a small amount of people got as a price. Yet I believe that still more people will have the PVP one..

not all of us want safe places and equality. If you don't put in the effort, then you don't deserve it, that simple. You are basically asking for Square to make content easier for others to get something some people already worked hard to get. Honestly, I hope Square pulls a Blizzard and makes it unobtainable rather than crapping on the other's true achievement for this mount and give it to everyone.

+1 for this thread. The current numbers are retarded and should be lowered. It's a carrot on a stick scenario but the carrot is waaaay too far out of reach; seriously 5 years to get a tiger mount if you're lucky to be on each day when an S rank spawns. No. Just no.

Achievements should be fun, even some of the more grindy ones. This isn't fun, this is just annoying and pointlessly high.
