The way to mess with people using Radar is to rename your chocobo to one of the A rank or S rank mobs.

I'd be wary in presuming to know what the soloists are or aren't doing. What is definite is that XIV's evaluation system doesn't favor soloists. Personally, I tend to solo stuff as often as possible to avoid the hassle of waiting for party members and putting up with the bads you do get from time to time. If XIV had a public party system, I'd certainly cut it some more slack, but it doesn't, so the burden of overcoming the evaluation metrics is solely on the individual. We've got no ! by our names like in XI if we're LFG. I can't even recall of searches differentiate between people solo or not here. Good luck navigating a long player list in the heat of battle, anyway.

So, while I agree buffing the bills was a good move, I'm more inclined to call this an overall nerf alongside SE not taking the needed steps to better the system for everyone. Done right, it won't matter if you're casual or hardcore, you'd just have to try to participate. Tossing 200-some table scraps in seals to the casuals via Bs may seem like a compromise, but part of the casual dilemma in MMOs is they don't often realize how much they're getting screwed by skewed rewards. "It's better than nothing!" is a common fallback when a lot of the time it's just the devs being stubborn and/or lazy.
