Please relook at the You Got Game achievement

[Nixxe]

You disagreed by basically going 'well we're balmung what's your excuse'. I stated my reasoning in my first post, and you chose not to acknowledge them.

I disagreed with you by showing you that people have obtained the mount just fine on a server where competition for hunts is especially fierce, despite your insistence that it's basically Literally the Worst™.

It isn't supposed to be reasonable though. The more insane it is, the more wow factor it has. The insanity of achieving them is what makes them so special.

Somethings are meant for only a handful to have and for the rest of the community to stare in awe at.

I wouldn't call one tier down any less absurd. Personally, I couldn't care less. I'll get it eventually if I feel bothered to. That being said, I think what people dislike about this particular achievement is the time gate. They can't freely work on it at their own pace-- at least not like you would relics, mentor mounts or even the prior PvP rewards. There is a set restriction on hunts that spawn and what server you're on also influences it.

Mihka is 1 person, not "people", that has apparently been doing hunts as a hunter ls leader since their inception. This is a rare instance and doesn't negate the fact that the overall requirements are still too high. You can have grindy achievements without the need for it to take 5+ years.

The reason why this is out of reach for the majority of players

Then it's not supposed to be for majority of players. If everyone will have it then it'll lose its value. Just look at best tribe mounts, nobody uses them because they are so common and require almost no effort to get.

I have been playing since A Realm Reborn and only have 184 S rank kills to my name

I don't even playing from start of 2.0 and I take breaks, and I still have 6x more.



Try to join some hunt linkshells maybe?

People have it on Balmung where even at the best of times you have about two minutes to get to a hunt from the moment it's called. What's your excuse?

The people who have it on Balmung were the people hunting out of passion during the content lulls, before there was rewards for hunting and the community was small enough that people would indeed wait for people to show up. Now there is this shiny new tiger mount on a stick, everyone and their mother wants to hunt and does not wait even for 1-2 minutes (which I think is the good waiting time). I've seen S Ranks drop in 10 seconds, with people pulling the exact moment they find it. Perhaps if these hunts were more frequent or non-soloable, it wouldn't be an issue.

How is that a problem? The rush will die down and the career hunters will still be there hunting mobs. If you're not among them, whose fault is that? You don't see them complaining that they can't get the Alexander mounts without putting in a decent amount of time to do so. Do the content or go without.

Hunts are also extremely plentiful right now, thanks to having five sets of them on account of SB being separated across three instances. For instance, I killed the same S rank three times in one day a couple of days ago.

Just because you personally can do that sort of thing, doesn't mean everyone can. This isn't a case of 'I can do it better than you' as not everyone can actually dedicate their entirety towards hunting. People have work, people have real life obligations, people need to sleep and most of all some people can only play for a limited amount of time (either due to net, or if they're younger then their parents.)

Why should the casual side of things get completely screwed just so SE can toss yet another long awaited mount behind yet another hardcore achievement lock? There are ways to make it take a while to get without being completely player biased.

Hi, I'm Mikha.

1) I'm not the only person on Balmung who has the tiger.
2) I have not been doing hunts "since their inception". I've only been hunting since mid-HW.

No this is not reasonable. There are a grand total of 29 S rank hunts in the game as of this time (2 of which can not yet spawn). S rank hunts take about 3 days to respawn after being killed. There is no way to speed up this timer and you are dealing with all the other people on your server to even have a chance to participate in one of these. So if you are lucky you may get a handful of kills each cycle. So we are talking about many years to get anywhere close to 2k S rank kills if you are not on a low population server.

I know 2 people with it already. It's not unreasonable.

Ohai!

Can I has your tiger?! :O

Curious, how many S Ranks were you killing per day? Were they getting pulled immediately by a select few groups, or waiting for as many players as possible? How fast were they dying?
