JP "bonanza" compared to the NA/EU

[Habu]

Being rude, and using crap similarities doesn't make you any less wrong.

It's the only way to get across to some people, but please keep trying to insult me, you're cute.

I have absolutely no need to insult you, nor did I in my previous post. In fact you were the only rude one comparing things that are in no way the same.

The Bonanza is a gambling event, therefore have good prizes, the "VanaFest Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway" is not.

The "Nomad" Mog Bonanza isn't a gambling event either since you're not putting anything of value on the line; you're simply entering into a draw unless rules have changed since the last one.

I don't think it's unrealistic to expect a similar reward considering our odds could potentially be worse; although, they'll probably be slighty better depending on how many people enter. They should at least give us the option of the 99 weapons without the afterglow effect if not the same options.

I'm not going to blame anything on favouritism though; I don't believe that the development team has meetings about how they can screw over NA/EU players.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they don't either. It just not easy to come up with appropriate reward when the nature of the 2 events are different. Beside really, i think we have quite the better odds, FFXIAH list about 250,000 active characters, so probably 160000 accounts, at least half of that should be Japanese, so our chance is probably 1 in 80000. That is assumming everyone is aware of the event and enter.

And Habu your analogies fail unless the teacher give out gold star not by merits but rather holding it up in the air and have every kids in a free for all grabbing brawl for it. Not the best system to give out gold stars I believe.

And the Cookies analogies also fail, unless the teacher divided the class into 2 halves, give one sides of the class a chance to win Chocolate Milk and Chocolate Cookie to anyone that can guess the outcome of coin flips correctly 16 times in a row (2^16 = 65536, so these kids' chances are even better than the Japanese Players).

The other half will get plain Milk and Cookie for sure, and the teacher will select someone to get it.

Seriously though, Exclusivity suck when it excluded you doesn't it, Habu?

[Zumi]

The amount of people that are aware of the event and enter is a lot lower then active accounts on ffxiah. Heck I see people shout in jeuno how do you get those mog suits? A lot of people don't visit the site or read the forums so the amount of people that actually enter is probably a lot lower.

[Habu]

So now that it's all said and done, how does everyone feel about the JP getting 2 "Bonanza" like events? One at Vanafest with the grand prize being 99 with after, and the second being like the Golden Gobbie Bag with rank 1 of level 90 mythic/relic/emp.

[Trisscar]

Here let me put this into something even a child could understand.

HNMs are like the special star at the end of the day that someone gets for being really good that day.

Heh, now I understand why you keep on pushing for HNMs. It explains so much.

[Habu]

And this has to do with the current topic how?

[Zerich]

I hope they just change T1 from the level 90 weapon, to a spike flail to the face.

[Trisscar]

And this has to do with the current topic how?

You walked right into it with a fail anology and then complain it isn't the topic?

Fine, so be it.

Personally I like the current lottery compared to the former one, because Square is aware that fewer people will be entering compared to the number of actual accounts the odds are probably better for NA/EU players than JP players.

This is probably why their rewards are better than ours, and I find this acceptable.
