I'd have a casual indifference to the cla because everyone I know kills Primals. I'd be like... Ok so what. Because role players have de facto already created an alternative lore on the basis of their overwhelming claims. This is a problem you the individual role player didn't intend to create, but is almost inevitable if multitudes can make the claim.
However, in the case of Ifrit, nobody has created an alternative lore. It is CANON that there is a list maintained by the Immortal Flames of people who have defeated Ifrit.
And if we play math, say we have 3 x 128 RPers on Balmung. That's 384 (or 3 full linkshells). Say we divide that 384 equally among each of the 9 Jobs and assign 1/9th to Summoners with Ifrit. That's 42 people. 42 people on an entire continent claiming to have beat Ifrit is not even close to "multitudes"; instead, they are the outliers, rare.
