Moonfaire - The Ranger Pose Emotes really should've been an earnable reward

The previous season items should just be a few dollar bundle if they are going to go this route.

Going this route however, also means the "straight to mogstation" items are extra dodgy. Basically MTX can sod off.

Ngl, this year's moonfire faire glam made me think it's given to nudge people to buy those ranger poses lol.

Sounds like Mogstation Faire to me tbh.

Those items would never see the light of day if they weren't commissioned by an SE Marketing Unit.

I'm being realistic. Coping is "straight to the mogstation is dodgy", rather "straight to the mogstation is a business decision on the part of a Marketing Unit, not CBU3".

You realise the last time they let us get old event rewards was in 2015? You let them drug you with the mogstation juice and now they know you will buy it.

I've been there for every event over the last 8+ years. Haven't had to buy any of those items yet.

Benefits of actually playing the game, right :D

I've missed a few over the years and just bought them anyway, it's not like they cost a lot.

Especially when it was used to promote the event in official social media. Why couldnt those ranger poses be temporarily given away as an in-game reward for participating on say a daily quest or FATE like other seasonal events? (yes I know because money).

Im not even necessarily mad that we have mogstation items but it would've been at least some good will between the dev team and their playerbase if they'd used this event to make them earnable, rather than just have them be on discount at the shop.

They already replied, the gogo posing ranger emotes were earnable in https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...oonfire_Faire/
it was a good event, with a fate and 3 emotes, an armor set, orchestrion roll, housing item.

Until 2015 it was possible to find items from previous events (yukata and bikini) then they decided to change things.

Honestly, and this is hardly 1) a new idea and 2) mine, buuuut:

They should just straight up allow a certain amount of Achievement Certificates (Vet Tokens) to purchase Mogstation things. Even if the exchange rate was like 10 Crysta/cents/yen per token, it'd be better than literally nothing to use them with. And it would allow newer players access to things from past events while not just letting them have everything.

I just checked; I have 218 "Achievement Certificates" and own/have every single thing listed. If they did the 10 cents to 1 token, I'd still only have like $20. That's not a LOT for the 10ish years of play, but it's also better than (Again) nothing at all.
