The "go play something else while you wait and just keep eye on fate sound" doesn't really cut it, you shouldn't have to go play another game while waiting on something to do in this game. Defeats the purpose of playing XIV if your tabbed out doing other stuff due to a poorly implemented system.
I have personally given up on the dailies since it's usually always a pain fate (bellyfull & the MD malboro one last night)
Strip fates out of hunt system, make the B ranks a daily since let's be frank their easier to do than the fates and as suggested make A rank the weekly
