Have you forgotten about this?: http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Tidal_Talisman

That item was amazing, and damned if many people were ever able to get the stupid thing. You had to buy a cheap piece of jewelry (which wasn't in fact cheap at all, it cost a pretty penny and wasn't reasonable to afford as I recall) to get the reward code for the item. What's even more a kick in the ass about that item, was that the reward code had a limited time in which it could be redeemed. If you didn't use your code immediately, you were screwed. If you wanted to buy the code off someone else for less than the insane price of the jewelry - you didn't have very long to do so.

This item is arguably better, costs a hell of a lot less to obtain, and is being released with a discounted version of the full game. That is an incredible deal. And yes, furthermore you don't have to buy it and you don't want to buy it, you've made that painfully clear already.. So don't, go rage someplace else if a video game item for a measly $20 is going to ruin your day so much as this.

Pathetic non-related argument about an item I didn't buy, even though it was amazing. Just because you don't value your money highly enough doesn't mean other more sensible people are the same. Like I said, not going to argue with naivety. I'm not trying to convince you, so stop trying to convince me of something that stupid? I have every right to be mad about this obvious ploy to get more money out of people who already purchased everything. This isn't going to change, nor is the fact that they are wronging us.

Reading comprehension. Do you have it?

The poster's point was not that newbies should pay as much. But, was why those who have paid so much should have to pay more to get the item.

If you have been playing for so long, id think all your jobs would at least be 30+.

I'm going to withhold judgement until after Adventurer Appreciation. I've overestimated SE's willingness to screw their players over lately, and I think they've recently earned the benefit of the doubt. For now. Hopefully AA will hold this or something similar for long time patrons.

If not, I will be pissed. Oh yes. But I'm just going to put that on hold until all the facts are in.

I Say we should tip something over to vent our Wrath!!!!

EDIT: and a point of clarification, what is the "Prishe Statue" and what will it do?

---

It is a statue like the several others that currently exist that you can place in your moghouse. As to what it "does," it will count towards some moghancement, since it's a furnishing.

You cannot honestly think that new players are going to arise just because you give them an item that you don't give to the current players, do you?

Want a summary? Fuck you SE.

LMAO! You sir, win as a poster on these forums.

Tell em!

No, but giving away such a good item to new players, or people that delayed buying expansions for a sale price seems backwards. The sale price is already an incentive to new players. They're just trying to get those of us that have already paid them so much money to pay even more compared to someone just starting getting it at no additional cost. If anything, the statue and the beret should be reversed for how they are obtained. Tidal Talisman was the closest to this they've had in the past, but at least you had something to keep after the game dies.

I only get to play about 1 night a week, and my total playtime is only 130 days, with at least 14 of those days being asleep at the keyboard or AFK bazaaring in early Easter events. I got my first job to 75 a couple days before Abyssea was announced.

That's my current character stats, and I have a lot of jobs I could use this hat with.

If all you can do is call people pathetic and suggest they don't value their own money, I'm just not going to bother anymore. Insulting people profusely because you weren't rewarded the item for free - or more importantly to you I guess, that the item costs money at all to obtain - is quite ignorant behavior. I'm sorry, but I don't appreciate being singled out while you rage over this because I just happen to be okay enough financially to be able to spend $20 on something that will make my play experience more enjoyable. (Where else is that money going to go? The monthly subscription itself is more than half that cost right there. So I'm paying a little over an extra month of playtime upfront for something that will significantly lessen the time it'll take to work on my jobs? Seems like an investment that'll at least even out to me. Plus I can probably then use it on my mules where it'll always be useful.)
