    Personally they basically tested on players again... gotta love SE for doing that since FFXI days... test server is much needed imo... or QA team needs to play more FFXIV to understand what players really feel....

    It's fun how even the japanese players see the Top 20 is such an awful way to go about it, if it's not just for it's small loot pool it's also the fact that only 20 people during that 25hr period have a legit reason to want do the hamlet itself. While the idea of setting the ranks by server sounds like a good idea it would be much better if they just eliminate the Top 20, make 100k/200k contribution to be eligible for the 2nd loot but have the 200k grant a high reward rate then 100k. With the current 10mil to reach rank 2 100 players would need to give 100k to reach it or 50 people at 200k each.

    With the current system though since only Top 20 get something worthwhile they would all need to give at least 500k points just to reach 2nd rank. <_< I do hope they can adjust this quickly, I didn't really consider that the fact hamlet is so unpopular is because of how left out people can be if they don't reach the Top 20 in terms of reward.

    Yes, Reinhart. Do you think you could post this in JP forum ?
    I think it should be that if you supply over "xxx" then you will get reward. you shouldn't need to be in-top 20 to get that. Else you should see how much people cry when they failed from top-20 into rank 21 and gain nothing..

    People posting same stuff on there already so they know it, they see the NA side forums on the same issue as well.
    I like the ranking system but having to be in top 20 to get specials isn't the way to go. So far devs quiet on this issue aside from making it 1/3 the cost to rank 2... which isn't what majority of players are asking.

    They're probably thinking of what it will be like a month or two from now, not immediately after release in the rush to do new content.
