Well I don't know about these hints, because some of it would be extremely hard to figure out. Like that S rank in Southern Thanalan. The NPC gives a odd clue. When you read it, it makes you think you need to get a bunch of people and go kill stuff over by temple of Qarn. I was killing stuff over there solo just to find out if anything would happen out of random luck. But sense I didn't see anything happen, I went on my merry way. But 5 hours later, the S rank poped up, WAAAAY south, way out in the desert. So what kind of sense would it be to make a pop condition at the temple, and have it pop on the other side of the zone. That is just really weird to make a hint system like that imo. Maybe give you some kind of a notification in the environment, that you did the right thing, and the NM is roaming around. IDK the hint says this S rank is like part of the ruins, until he is roused or something. Make a weird Golem looking rock in the ruins, and if your successful in popping him, maybe have that rock just vanish or something.
