Final Fantasy Vana'Diel Collection 3! (Now with Epic Items~)

[Felren]

Sigh, I'm honestly not surprised but yet again SE screws over its dedicated customers.

I don't understand why they'd be giving cool stuff like this to new players.... this game is so old the number of new players coming in is pretty small. Its the people that have been playing this game for years that have kept this game alive. It's not so much even the item that makes me angry, its more the way they keep chopping their addon game prices so quickly after their release that makes you feel completely ripped off for buying them as they came out.

Well the item doesn't make me that mad since its only below 30..

[Vold]

You know, to be fair about all this, the item is only level 1-30. Its use will last for only 1-30 and how long does it really take us to go from 1-30?

How many of us even need the skill up rate part of it? We're probably already capped from other jobs, depending on what the job is. Do we really need the movement speed? So on. It's nice perk stuff but it's not worth getting bent out of shape about. I think it's cool that SE does things like this. What I just don't like is the fact that if you've been playing Abyssea for the past year, you're being given a darn Prishe statue. We paid 30 bucks for the add ons. Here comes the collectors edition, and it's 20 bucks. And it gets a kick ass hat. Its uses are limited, but it's kick ass nonetheless. Much like the nexus cape. Much like all the other cool items SE has released in the past that not everyone can get a hold of because it wasn't 100% free gift to us in game. So whatever. I don't think I'll even bother getting the prishe statue. Now if it had been Shinryu.....

I suppose our reward for buying Abyssea was uh... Abyssea? Just sayin.

Where's my latent effect level 90 Hat SE?! We wanna run fast too. Why do we have to be so young on the game to have fun?! As someone said whining is counter productive; so fair enough SE, this isn't over!

I hope this helps new players out at least a little bit so they don't get so frustrated with the early levels, as we all did when we were tiny little noobs. So I am happy to see them not struggle so epicly boring as we did. But I also fear it will breed a new generation of Wow-esque players.

[Randwolf]

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

I raised all my jobs the old-fashioned way, no PL, No AF Burns, no key-whoring, when I had time off of work. So, you thought wrong. And, you probably think that everyone needs to key-whore their way to 90 or it just isn't fun.

[Kimble]

Even then, 1-30 doesn't take long in TODAYS game so while the item is pretty neat, are way more useful for people just starting (which is why its an item give to people just buying the game) I don't see why the big fuss over this and why people act like its such a slap in the face to people who have been playing a long time.

It's more a matter of principle. I'm sure many of the older posters on this thread don't have any jobs under 31. So, it's most likely they don't want it for the utility aspect but because a lot of people try to collect as many items and gear as possible in the game. Especially, unique items like this one. I immediately started hunting down the Jesters Cap when it first came out. I haven't used it once. Although, I like to idle in it. I like cool looking items. I still have my Mushroom Helm, my Rain Hat, and my Luna Subligar. Plus, a ton of other useless stuff. I only tossed my Nadrs when I just couldn't hold one more item and started on the items for my Empy. I do every holiday activity and have all the items. I swap them into my MH for each holiday.

It never bothered me when I first started and people had gotten previous items which would not be offered again, like the Rabbit Stick. Sure, I wanted one but they are almost never for sale.

But, again, it comes down to principle.

As far as the 1 - 30, you are correct, it doesn't take that long anymore. But, being in an end-game shell, I don't have much time between getting off of work and the start of activities. They run pretty late. So, I don't level after them either. The weekends are when I usually work on leveling. But, it isn't unusual for someone to need help on something. Or, I slowly work on crafting, also.

Will it work on level synched? If so we still play around with it

[Daremo]

I don't see why the big fuss over this and why people act like its such a slap in the face to people who have been playing a long time.

I'll sum it up for you: Mere weeks before Adventurer Appreciation, long time Adventurers are feeling woefully unappreciated.

[Kaych]

I have no idea why SE did this o.o Its like a warning that "In the future, when a expantion/Add-on comes out, DONT BUY IT until the collectors addition comes out". It would be fine if all we got was "only" the Prishe statue, but giving a nice piece of item like this, only to the ones who buy a "Collecters addition" is just insulting... What where they thinking? >_>


Edit: Poor Dev trackersXD Prolly will have alot of reading coming up with all the disagreement ^_-

The Prishe Statue misses the SE.
