Please relook at the You Got Game achievement

[Serilda]

There are some people who hunt like other people raid. I don't resent this achievement even though I'll never own the mount if I play for another ten years, like I'll never be an Honest Gillionaire or win the Cactpot or place first in the Feast or get any of the mounts/achievements which require doing a ton of roulette or chocobo breeding/LoV. Occasionally seeing people with the stupidly rare achievements actually make the world of FFXIV more exciting to me.

"Mad" achievements with exclusive rewards are a good thing. Also, this is an MMO and some of the rewards are bound to be long term.

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.

and you call yourself a casual player? lol

and you call yourself a casual player? lol

I am. I just streamline and focus my playing time to whatever goal I have set for that moment. There are lots of things I wish I could accomplish, but I don't have the time to do it, so I work on what I think is fun and it just happens to be hunts, Gold Saucer, MSQ, glamour, leveling certain jobs and chatting with friends.

Perhaps SE could add a white tiger mount to the cash shop.

There is no restriction for the mentor roulette though. You can just keep spamming it even when there is no Bonus. You don't have to wait for a timer.

I was more going for it being a prestige mount not really comparing difficulties. The point being they both take forever. 2000 mentor roulettes is no slouch either. Let's be generous and call each point taking at least 20 minutes (it's not even guaranteed since you might get an ex primal that doesn't clear or a long 45-60 min dungeon but you can also get a 5-10 min guildhest or in progress). 2000 x 20 minutes of doing nothing but mentor roulette is 667 hours of straight work.

If they really wanted a lot of people to get this it would be more manageable it would have been 1000/500 like the new tank mounts which are 300.

Yeah that does not sound casual at all. And you probably need lots of time for this. Also even if you say that you only do this content there is still a difference between Gold saucer and hunts. You can do gold saucer every hour/minute. I am quite sure that he would not have that much MGP if you are only able to do Gold saucer one hour a day or even a hour every two days. The same with mentor roulette. All of those things can be done at our own time. If you have a free day you can do nothing but roulette/gold saucer. With hunts you are always on a certain timer. And if you miss that one you will be out of luck for this S rang.

So you only have the chance to get this if you have hunted from the very beginning of its existence so this means for most people this is impossible to do for the next years. (And its even more telling that someone that did it from the beginning but not in a hardcore way is still only half way through) And to add further insult they put a mount behind that, that the players asked for yet most of them that asked for it will never have the chance to see it.

I am not liking the trend that SE puts some wanted mounts behind stuff that only a certain small amount of people will ever have, yet in normal fighting content we will get a whole bunch of the same mount in different colors..

[YISUG]

lots of people asked for it , then they make it this difficult to get

[Antonio_Xul]

It is a trend most people don't like. The thing is they are trying get people to do things most people don't like, so they put a valued prize at the end so people would give it a try. PVP is a good example as cool mounts were added to the ranking system and forced non-PVPers to give a try just for the prize. We may not like, but it will at least open people's eyes to how fun it could be if given the chance.

People hated on hunts since day 1. I liked it and kept hunting. Early hunters are going to get rewarded sooner than later for their persistence of doing content that was hated. I don't see anything wrong with that. I accept I won't get every item this game has to offer.

If you want that tiger mount so bad, then get huntin'! Right now that gear isn't overwhelming the A ranks and these fight are actually tough and fun to do. Give it a try. You might like it.

Been hunting since it was introduced in patch 2.3. Sitting at 301 S rank kills and 1,052 A rank kills. I've probably spent more time not hunting than actively hunting. I've echo'd more hunts than I've attended by at least four-fold. The only times I've hunted are when the upgrades come off of lock from raids and I can freely gear up other classes. It's not a hardcore achievement, but it does require time investment if you want the achievement "quickly."

People also forget there will be content droughts. Time periods where a ton of people are unsubbed waiting for a new patch to hit- these are your absolute best times to work on achievements like this one.
