Fix ocean fishing or add lockouts for leavers

I mean, in fairness, the content was kinda advertised as something relaxing in the patch notes. "See the sights of Eorzea as never before." After reading the patch notes, I was curious to try it out and see what it's all about, take it all in. But, gotta say, just reading a few threads here, it's abundantly clear that it's a very toxic environment. Savage FSH only. Not allowed to just enjoy it.

Damn, y'all take this way too seriously, trying to 100% the content in week 1 as if there's some world first race going on, or like it's some limited content.

That's kind of the problem with the achievement though. There is no way to get the achievement unless everybody is on the same page to up to chances of spectral waters and because its on a 2 hour lock out, if someone comes in there wanting to relax and someone else comes in wanting to get that achievement there's a chance both will be in for a bad time.

Honestly why make the mount attached to an achievement is beyond me, especially in content as random as fishing. Should have just been something to be bought with White Scripts or something but I don't design content.

And while we are at it, make primals and savage mounts buyable with tomestones.

Aren't the primal ones at least buyable with totems post ARR? And isn't the savage mounts a guaranteed drop per week? I don't do Savage so I don't recall how the mount is sent out.

Either way, as far as I can tell both of the above aren't RNG based, nor come from content that was advertised as "relaxing". Basically what I'm getting at is, I don't think Savage or Primal mounts need to be any easier to get, they have mercy mechanics already built in for poor luck on rolls and what not. This shark however....

You can't buy Hades or Ruby mounts with totems yet. So the only way to get them now its to play a multiple layered RNG game: 1) RNG if you get a decent party which can actually farm 2) RNG if a mount drops 3) RNG if you win it. Not much different from a fishing RNG.
As for the difficulty of shark mount, yes it's not faceroll easy, but everyone I know who wanted it already got it so it's not that bad as people exaggerate. And they feel good because it was a decent accomplishment demanding some effort.
