JP "bonanza" compared to the NA/EU

[Dragoy]

No there wasn't.

They had the Bonanza and We have this one, or at least it was meant to be.

Then SE as a company are liars, good way for a company to be.

From what I heard, the Mog Bonanza was done online as well as at VanaFest, so in that sense they are not playing fair.

Well, to be precise, they said there would be no 'GGG' for the Japanese, so if it's called anything else (I haven't looked into it, and don't care enough to do so in the near future), I guess they were still telling the truth... sort of. ^^;

It's all a bit of a mess, but I feel that we probably should be thankful and/or lucky that we had the Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway at all in the first place, even though it was (in my opinion) not right to restrict entry to one SqEX account, instead of one PlayOnline account. If it was to prevent single user from participating multiple times, it's obviously flawed, since many who actually have several PlayOnline accounts have them in separate SQUARE ENIX accounts, and thus are able to use them all to participate. In the meantime, those who opted to use one single SqEX account for all their POL accounts for convenience, are partially left out.

They still cost the full price and all that!

It also excludes players who share a SqEX account. Whether or not they know it is a violation of the User Agreement, it is simply convenient for families and such, and as such, is a common practice.

If there are to be events like this to be seen in the future, I do hope they entail at least some improvements!


Also, are we bickering about what colours are used here now?

Really?!¿ °~°

Evidently so, according to some we should not use the colours added to be used, simply because.

I say we all do different colors and make the forums look like a Pride parade.

Oh my God, Pride! SQUEE!

Let us use the colors of rainbows to persuade Square Enix to show equal love!

To participate in the Nomad Mog Bonanza, you pick 1 number from 00000 to 99999, which is a 1 in 100000 chance of winning. Unless everyone that attend Vanafest collude to pick a different number, to even have a 50% chance that anyone will win rank 1 at all require about 70000 people to have attended Vanafest (0.99999^70000 = 0.49 chance of no one winning).

Do you think 70000 people attended Vanafest? Even if they did, the chance there is of anyone winning at all is 50%.

Habu's point (and I agree with him) is that for there to be no rank 1 winner in this specific lottery would be a PR disaster from which SE stands to gain nothing, so there would be no reason not to just draw again until a winner was found.

This isn't a state lottery. SE does not profit by not paying out.
