Mailbox Pop Items

[Malithar]

From what I've seen I'm inclined to think it has more to do with congestion than anything else.

While he said their rarity, I agree that this is what he meant. By making it so someone could hold so many pops, they could quickly farm multiple runs. Not that farming multiple is really harmful for most of these fights at this point, they'd still have to return to town to pick up the pops, thus freeing up the ??? for someone else to pop.

I'm also tired of having to jump through hoops to send stuff to my mules, but :

Greetings,

We understand your request; however, the rarity of NM triggers are maintained by limiting their circulation and as such we do not currently have any plans to make it possible to send these items through the delivery system.

About this, Camate did a very lousy job at explaining back then. What he failed to explain is that it wasn't about sending triggers directly to your mules, but rather about hoarding triggers in your delivery box if you allow them to be sent.

When you send a Rare item to someone (including yourself) it disappears from the system until you pick it up, allowing you to get another right away. So you can have up to the limit of your delivery box capacity on hold as long as you don't pick them up or do the "send to yourself > Return to yourself" thing.

And THAT is what Camate was referring to when he mentioned limiting their circulation, because as long as you don't allow items to be sent you are guaranteeing there will only be one of such rare items per character in the server at any given time. If you allow them to be sent you can have up to...what was the limit again? 128 items? per character.

Now, all things considered. Does it make sense to be so concerned about trigger availability nowadays?

No, it doesn't. With the story and main updates concluding by November all that matters right now is to make the game as convenient and enjoyable as possible so players who remain or come back can enjoy their remaining time in the game without unnecessary inconveniences. IMHO.

And this is why ffxi is in the state it is.
Please keep encouraging people to pay though ^^

or a return to all senders button. i have so many zeni pops in my dbox it takes 5-10 just to collect any newly mail items.

Yeah this answer is pretty hilarious. If you want them to be rare stop giving them away. Making us ask a friend or LS mate to grab them from our mules and trade them to us, or making us sell them on our mules does not make them rarer...

These are exactly the type of responses that make your player base think you don't even play your own game guys. Over the last year you've been doing good, getting a lot better than you used to be, by this point we should be far beyond these kind of responses...

Yes, this is a 2012-caliber answer.... The sky god pop items in Mog Garden are RIDICULOUS. I only use 3 of my characters for Mog Garden, and I get 1-3 sky god pops a day, and I just have to keep throwing them out because I already have them.

Please, I'm all for making those stupid sky god pops RARE. Please stop forcing them on me. NO MEANS NO. Keep your sky god pops out of my Mog Garden!!! Or let me sell/send them to someone who cares!!!

(Sell means on the auction house; they're too common for the one person on the server who isn't sick of these spam items to just-so-happen to check my bazaar.)

At least Camate gets to post this lol response than copy n pasting please look forward to it like on the XIV forums. Though I must agree with everyone else in that this response makes no sense. If you wanted them to be so rare then you wouldn't put them in almost every if not every log in campaign, or have them be our item for the day more often than not from our mog gardens.

Making me run to Sandy on my GFs character to pick up a pop item from another mule rather than being able to Dbox my shanks to myself doesn't really take away from any congestion, it just makes my life more annoying and this game less enjoyable.
