Will ask though, if you had to chase ifrit for days just to fight other groups for a chance to get into the ifrit for a chance to win for a chance for an ifrit weapon with a chance its the one you want. Would you do it?

Could be fun a few times. But i wouldn't call that 7/7 RNG fun...
This is one of the big reasons I suspect the existing fights won't be removed. XIV has been ear-marked as a fan-service game, so making the ability to encounter iconic and significant beasties rare and difficult kind of seems illogical to me.

But I really have no idea. My personal theory is that there could be 12 primals, 2 for each element where one is quest-fixed and the other roaming. Eg: Odin (umbral lightning) roams and Ramuh (astral lightning) is a quest. Though I admit this is a bit of a stretch.
