Please relook at the You Got Game achievement

[Yahallo]

Actually no it doesn't. Here's why. Putting time in this achievement would prevent me from putting time into other much more generously rewarding activities for multiple years. We all know time is limited. Since I can't go back in time to benefit from the retroactive counter, I and many others are not incentivized at all by something so inaccessible. It might as well not exist because that's how likely I am to get it even if I tried.

If you were offered a million dollars for solving one of the seven Millennium Prize Problems of mathematics, would you be incentivized enough to try? It's a real offer by the way, and I bet you haven't thought it to be worth your time to even try because it's too difficult. That's my point.

Tbh I don't care if they leave the mount like it is. My personal time hasn't been wasted, it's the development time that's been wasted. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not really development time wasted if there are people who try to get it. You may not want to try, but there are people that do.

I am a casual player that has been hunting since day 1. I have 733/2000 S ranks & 1376/3000 A ranks. This is totally doable. You can't expect to get every mount. I'm not a PVPer, so I don't expect to get those mounts. I'm not a raider and I will most likely not attain those mounts. I don't have mentor status as I could care less about being a healer, so that's another mount out of the question. I am a hunter, though, and that I will get. Each niche has its prize. You just have to work for it if you really want it.

You basically have to make hunting a full time job to get this mount. This is something so rare that it should have a crazy hidden ability such as being able to force spawn one S rank per day. This seems like one of those things that would go in the cash shop for like $500 but you can also "technically" earn it in game without spending extra money for it. This is that diadem i280 weapon all over again. As far as most people are concerned it might as well be 5k S ranks. Many people may think they can eventually get it but rare achievements like this are going to do more harm than good as they will burn players out and make them get frustrated and quit long before getting anywhere close.

Lets put it this way. Think about the top most active hunters and S rank spawners on your server. 95% of them are not even close to getting the mount. Just let that sink in. All in all I honestly wish there was a way that the game could track who spawned a S rank. Now THOSE people who spawned 100's if not 1000's of S ranks deserve a huge achievement like this.

Exagerration. "The most active spawners and hunters" already got the achievment for 500 a long, long
time ago, probably middle or early Heavensward.
Even I got that 1 month before SB got released, I have 2 linkshells and I don't even watch hunt tracker outisde of 'gear upgrade' phases.
Someone new? Too bad, but he has also to sub until 2021 to be able to get the highest veteran reward, so well, whatever?

And how do you spawn 1000 S-Ranks but don't get to kill at least 800-900 of them?

I downloaded the data of the last census, maybe achievemnt data are in there, but currently some people are heavily underestimating the hunts some people already did.
You people say you can get mentor mount easily. I say there will be a lot more tigers in a year than mentor mounts.

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

There's a character on Balmung named Mikha Sunthistle that had the mount as soon as Early Access launched (we used to be in the same FC, I ran into him in the Ruby Sea with the mount). However: He runs a hunting linkshell on Balmung and has ran it since hunts were introduced to the game - meaning he's likely been present for most of the A and S Rank spawns on Balmung. He's the only person I've seen with 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.

Ah yeah - this is Mikha. The guy I mentioned from the previous post.

i can see you spent 2 mio MGP on 3 mounts from the Gold Saucer. so you must be a Gold Saucer Maniac too, especially if you are a casual player as you said. grinding 2 mio MGP is no joke... oh, wait a moment, it actually IS a joke...

my niche is the Gold Saucer. i worked hard to get my grand prize. so why is everybody running around with Fenrir now?

if you can have my special prize, why is it okay that i can't have yours?

(okay, maybe you actually ARE a Gold Saucer Maniac, i don't know, but there are hundreds of people who clearly aren't, but running around with Fenrir and stuff, thanks to the weekly challange log - this was just an example^^ )

And games like that are either ghost towns now or had to drastically change their format to fit the change in the MMO scene.

A lot of them are ghost towns because they're ancient. Some of them aren't ghost towns at all, EVE Online for example.

Yes I am a Gold Saucer Maniac! I actually got Fenrir prior to the MGP buff we got some time back. I always teleported to the Gold Saucer every :15 & :45 minutes of every hour I wasn't doing any instances. When I set my mind to get something, I get it done! I already have 2.7 million MGP hoarded at this moment with every mount, minion, gambler outfit & Cloud card bought and nothing of interest to buy right now. I still play the events like crazy just in case there is something cool they add and is expensive, I will already have the MGP for it.

I've personally seen at least one person riding it. People posted screenshots of Bounty Hunter's LS leader with it. From talk in my linkshells, I think at least one or two other people also have it and a few more are pretty close.
