Point blank, its killed hunts, which were an enjoyable aspect of the game and now they're dead. Please consider that when you only have 4-5 players doing a hunt, that's not even worth it. A ranks can 1 shot people, and depending on DPS take 20 minutes+ to kill. That's a waste of time when you could spend it farming ST instead and get more Soldiery and a chance at Oils/Sands right that second.

My suggestion was how to make it less of a waste of time. I didn't just QQ about it, I offered a few possible solutions to what I perceive as a problem. A Ranks standing around is a bit of a problem, it blocks low levels from their mobs and FATEs, and high levels from doing their business. At the very LEAST make A Ranks passive instead of aggroable.
I had this problem in two situations. The first time I was doing ninja quest in Upper La Noscea, right after I left the instanced area I was one shot by Marberry who was right next to the spawn area.
The second time was today when I was atma grinding in Central Thanalan. The A rank was camped right on top of a low level fate making it difficult to complete the fate without also getting one shot.
