The job stone literally records the powers of previous users and empowers one's summoning. You will have to have killed a Primal in order to summon its Egi, which is a highly dangerous activity given the risk of being Tempered. If people who don't know you react to you summoning an Egi with a "meh" face, then they're basically doing it wrong.Given that the Primals come back again, and again, and again, and again, and then some more, it's actually justifiable for a whole mess of people to have killed a Primal within their lifetimes if they are Warriors of Light (which, well, they are, at least if canon is anything to go by). The Primals themselves are actually one of the better-done parts of the lore, as they somewhat justify the constant replaying of the same fights by pointing out how transient their physical forms are. They'll keep coming back as long as their tribes keep feeding them the aether to do so.
I don't think that Mercurias was suggesting otherwise. Â But the feat of defeating a Primal is STILL something major in Eorzea, no matter how many times they come back. Â Remember that the Company of Heroes lost dozens, possibly more, of their men to tempering when they defeated Titan. Â So people going, "Oh whatever" when a Summoner proves they've defeated a particular primal is just...it's silly.
