Please relook at the You Got Game achievement

[Nixxe]

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.

It is not a problem with a game's design if not everything is accessible to everyone no matter how little time they allot to the game. Like many things in life, you get out of it what you put into it, and just because you cannot put in as much as you'd like doesn't mean everyone should bend over backwards to cater to your every whim. I'll probably never get it either. Oh well. Let them have their thing as their reward for doing a certain type of content. There are plenty of other mounts in the game for you to pursue.

Hi, I'm Mikha.

does it fly?

[Tsumdere]

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, who's 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.

I'm one of those people who hunt out of passion given I have the time. I'm happy that you can get to the S ranks, but I personally can count on one hand how many S Ranks I've gotten since SB because of instance zoning and ARR/HW dying too quickly.

The point is, before the tiger mount, there was no reward for hunting besides a handful of lame titles. Now there is. Now we will see a permanent influx of hunters striving for this mount. More people equals less opportunity and more room for those who cannot wait to put a damper on everyone's hunting.
I'm not saying the achievement should be easy-peasy. Keep it 3000/2000 and buff the hunts so they can't be pulled by one/two people or lower the numbers (3000/1000?) if they want to keep the papertowel health bars. There is multiple ways to ease the sheer burden of this achievement without handing it out like candy.

Also, primal/raid mounts aren't on a timer. I can farm Susano as much as I want. I don't have to wait 3 days between each run to try again.

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?

Hello. I do most of my hunting in "not now" times -- right now is the very worst time to be hunting. Everyone and their mother is hunting right now. Soon enough it will die down and then be easier for everyone. (Even though I run the oldest, most active hunt LS on Balmung, I don't even have my "kill all 4.0 A ranks at least once" achievements yet. The hunting is just too bad right now for me to bother with.)

Part two of your answers coming...

[Clethoria]

It's an achievment...not a "give me it because I want it"

Have you ever seen achievements to platinum games? They're achievable. Don't try and be cute, this is indeed a tall order.

[ThistleChaser]

Part two to Syrehn:

Right now, all bets are off. Things are being instant-pulled. (Balmung has a hunt LS dedicated to instant pulling and griefing other players.) Once this period passes, yeah people wait. "Wait" is a relative term -- there will always be someone who calls it an instant pull.

How many I kill a day and how fast they die depend. I like killing S ranks. Even when I don't need anything from hunting, I enjoy going to help kill them. So, if one pops and I'm both online and not busy, I go and help kill it. But sometimes days go by without an S rank popping (or at least popping when I'm online). As for how fast they die, it completely depends on when it pops. What time of day, what time within the expansion. Near the end of 3.0, it actually took a long time to kill S ranks, because no one was showing up to kill them. And, in the very beginning of 4.0, we had S ranks wandering around for more than 24 hours because there weren't enough 70s yet to kill it.

does it fly?

It does indeed fly. It runs through the air, and when not moving it 'floats'.

[Clawbriar]

I'm more for complaining about us Brits not having the cloud mount yet -- that's unfair. This is just something you'll have to fight your ass off for, like Invincible or the Onyxian Drake.

I'm sure they'll be some weird recolour of it tied to something else in a few months anyway.

I'm fine with buffing hunts, honestly. Scale up hunts to the latest expansion each time, or at the very least to the expansion prior. They have severely diminished aggro ranges to begin with, so it shouldn't be an issue, and nobody should more than a visitor to level 50 at this point. In particular, Allied Seals are going to be an issue if they don't do something, and while I'm finishing up the seals for my last mount speed scroll, it will be an issue for those who come later. Since it's a legitimate in-game advantage, I'm more inclined to care about the plight of those who can't make it.

Which LS is this?

I'm glad we agree on this! I'm sure there is no one would complain (although I could be surprised) if all hunts were brought up to level 70 so griefers can't grief and the achivement becomes an achivement for those that put in the effort, not an achievement for the lucky and/or selfish.
