I recently started up a new character and was having a heck of a time clicking on a quest trigger spot in Eastern Thanalan because Maahes was standing RIGHT ON TOP OF IT. Unfortunately for me, despite shouting and sending the word out through members of my FC not a soul came to kill Maahes. After 6hours (and counting...) Maahes is still there.
Later on, I switched to my low level ARC to get it to 15 for job quest purposes. While doing its hunting log I ran into Forneus! Right beside the river where many lvl 1-9 players frequent. Again, despite several shouts no one came to kill Forneus.

My point of the subject is that old-world A ranks need some new incentives to kill. Even on my main character I was trying to get Allied seals the other day so I could get an excalibur for glamor purposes, but attempting to kill an A rank by oneself even in the ARR areas is unlikely.

I implore SE to seek out some changes on the old world A-ranks to make them a more attractive option and breathe some life back into the hunt.
