Adding Legacy Tattoo to Mog Station

[Gunspec]

hehehe. I read the title of this thread, and immediately pictured a firefighter tackling the OP with a flame blanket. Maybe the GI Joe guy from Fenslerfilms.

As someone who really hates that seasonal outfits don't remain free in-game each year, and as someone who loves that a gobbue variant is still in the game for non-1.0 players, even I don't think the advertised perks for being a legacy player should be made available to non-1.0 players.

The legacy stuff was clearly advertised as a perk for players who specifically stuck with a subscription during 1.0. The game was horrible back then, and while I personally view players with 1.0 tattoos as scary crazy people for playing the game in that state, I respect that we wouldn't have 2.0 if they hadn't been handing over money.

As a 1.0 player, I have great memories of the game at the time, despite it's inherent weaknesses. When I started playing 2.0 I vaguely remembered about having a tattoo available, but never actually used it until I read up and asked people about it, as it had to be activated with a command.

There are definitely things I missed out on getting on back 1.0 - I never completed the story past Dzameal Darkhold, I never got the Chocobo suit, I never got Raven Earrings. I also didn't get to see the BSM job cutscene where the Siren's origins come from. As far as I know, I was considered a 'new' player in 2.0 since NPCs didn't recognise me.

The tattoo is simply a nice bonus for sticking with the game since beta (for me anyway.) As some people would say, server populations were relatively low from the panning of 1.0, and I remember many people simply logging in and checking a new update and then getting back to something else.

I continue to support SE beyond paying for my sub. I have dumped money in the Mog-Station and through official merchandise. I like purchasing things, but paying for a tattoo to gain something for sticking to a game for 3 years in a bad state... - you can't really put a price on the time (and frustration) investment. So, while I'm all up for other decals, the 1.0 tattoo should stay for those who played the game during that period. Other tattoos would be nice though.

I wouldn't be opposed to it though I doubt it'll ever happen. A shame, really - perfectionists are all too easily screwed over since there's stuff that they can now never obtain now matter how much effort they put into the game.

I don't mind a tattoo system though, like some NPC that can tattoo different tattoos on your body but that legacy tattoo should be exclusive to 1.0 characters only.

[ShaneDawn]

This again? Why is there a sudden urge of people wanting something that is exclusive to 1.0 supporters? Why can't a few things remain exclusive?

The same reason why content has to be nerfed on a regular basis. People want their shinies, they want it now and can't stand if someone else (rightfully) has one while they don't.

I agree that more tattoo options should be in the cash shop. However, this has to remain exclusive to the 1.0 players. Where is the "legacy" if you never were there?

[ShaneDawn]

If you really wanted to support SE during that time, you would continue supporting them by allowing them to make more revenue and be more successful.

If you just want to pretend you are a special snowflake, then continue acting how you are.

I'm not a Legacy player, but I don't see people explicitly showing off their cool ass tattoos just for being a "special snowflake".

If 1.0 was anywhere as bad as I heard it to be, can't we just let those people have those cool, yet insignificant, small perks for being there?

The entitlement in some of the posts on both sides of this discussion is beyond unreal. o.O

There's not much to discuss, in any case. The Legacy mark is for Legacy players.

No.

Look at my join date.

Still no.

Account wide flag I can get behind, sure. Mogstation? No.

Wow this thread is sad.

One one side you have people upset over their obsession with meaningless pixels they can't have.

On the other side you have people upset over their obsession with meaningless pixels they do have.

You're all wrong. Have a nice weekend.
