Announcing the "VanaFest Golden Gobbiebag Giveaway"! (NA)

[Noriyuki83]

My opinion sincerely i think is injust that only those participating on Golden Gobbiebag event can receave Moogle Suit and Arc Angels costumes, the participation of this event was short period and many people (me included) noticed late this event or do not have the opportunity to participate for expiration of time, i tought only japanese people could obtain Moogle Suit and now im really sad to see some EU and USA people with these wonderful presents while the rest of us we did not get anything... ;_; *snif*

When you entered the contest there was the option to write in the name of the player that you wanted the rewards to be delivered to. It didn't have to be a player on your SE ID, so some people entered with their multiple accounts, assigned all the rewards to their main, and won multiple times.

I didnet win any thing and not to bothered, to be honest that moogle suit just looks creepy. I for one did not enter with my second account, just seemed unfair

Those items should have been the "Thanks for entering" consolation prize, with something slightly better for those who win in the actual tiers. But, it's probable that after some deliberations with the Goblins and the MHMU that having all of the players running around in Moogle Suits would upset the balance of Vana'diel. It's just too precious a thing to play with.

And whilst it is somewhat greedy (and a little annoying) that some people have won twice/more by using multiple accounts to enter and receive on their main character, it's not exactly unfair. If you have 2 lottery tickets that both win, I'm pretty sure you can claim both tickets and have thus won twice. You have paid for that luxury, and in the event neither win, you've paid twice for it and gained nothing. It's not quite the same as with this, since you're paying for accounts to play the game and not win these events, but the principle is similar.

The issue though isn't so much the mules, but rather's SE's account set up. I have an alternate account and character, but it is part of my Square-Enix ID. I didn't realize that in doing so I would set myself up to not being able to get a 2nd vote in things like this, because I have a second character and still pay two subscription fees. This isn't really about how much someone pays so much as it is their setup. Clearly they wanted to limit it to one vote per person by restricting it to SE IDs.

I think this warrants a phone call to remove my alt account from my Square-Enix ID and give it its own SE ID. Since apparently doing so gives me less of a chance at winning things like this that may be held in the future.

I had entered in it because of seeing the ark angel stuff. Didn't get a single thing so don't feel bad even some who entered got screwed out of costumes.

While I do agree with you, I would strongly recommend not doing that. You never know what may end up happening to the account.

Whats done is done.

I'm more so concerned with additional chances to receive the vanity items as that was all I had really looked forward to with the Gobbiebag Giveaway. I was very happy to see the Mog Suit become available to NAs and EUs through our awesome Community Representatives and their hard work organizing events. It worries me that this may have been our only chance to obtain the suit similar to the other mog items from previous events.

My question to Camate and the Community Reps would now be: Will we ever see another opportunity to obtain the suit through events in game or community run events similar to the ones held on the test server? I'm sure the Ark Angel weapons will surface again, but the Mog Suit has me worried.
Thanks guys.

Congratulations to the winners and happy 10th Anniversary FFXI & 25th Anniversary Final Fantasy.

Well actually you wasnt allowed to attend unless you had a JP account ...

....Yea, your account didn't matter. I got lucky and had a free day while I was in Yokohama and went to VanaFest. I got my moogle suit and such, which is probably why I won nothing in this.

[Creelo]

Everyone that participated should have been given an Ark Angels Weapon and Moogle suit at the very least...
