Enjoying the New Moogle Tomes

My only complaint aside from somewhat lacking rewards is the weekly objective seems to not account for MSQ progress, an alt of mine got Sophia when they are in ARR still. I have heard Trial accounts can pull Hidden Gorge which is something they aren't even allowed to participate in. A friend pulled Zurvan while another pulled Eden on their alts in ARR as well. I would say maybe set some story progression checks on the weekly objective.

I'm onboard with the new feature, sure the rewards are lack luster, but I went to the level 71 areas and actually seen people in the wild doing fates. It's great to see. This is an mmo and anything that gets more people doing things together rather than idling in cities the better.

To improve it, I would have more daily and weekly requests but keep them the same for everyone or have strict sets of them. You don't want to be filtering people all over the place. This is a great way to fill duties that don't normally pop. Things like Delub ect in Bozja would be great objectives as some people are still struggling to get decent sized parties going for it. 24 man, some coil perhaps. As long as there are several options for each tier so people don't feel forced to do a certain thing, a choice of 4 or 5 for the weekly. Maybe 2 easy ones for a daily. Then keep the big one.

Whilst not the best thing they have released, I am pretty sure it's the non combat thing I am happy most with since the patch content started. Shame we couldn't have tied the relic to something cool like this, but it's a step in the right direction.

I mean I can scroll down the first page and check off 3-4 topics that outright are asking for things they want/changes they want to the game.

I don't even like half of them, but they exist. People do ask. People make massive write-ups that they pour their hearts into and usually get little traction for the effort.

Great structure. Lacking rewards.

Idk why they struggle so much with thinking about interesting rewards for their systems that aren't the 8-man raids.

A great idea for a reward system for this improved Moogle event could be using the 'joke winner' weapons from the design contest as cosmetic glamours. However, I know that having great value rewards in the Moogle events might be problematic in the FOMO sense, so I'd also propose that old rewards could be purchased at a more expensive exchange rate, so although they aren't available all the time, you can get them during the month preceding a content patch.

I enjoy the new format but it defeats the purpose doesn't it? The purpose of these events is to get people into content while the game is dead before the next update to help populate stuff. The rewards are things that you can easily get elsewhere, with only one unique but very minor thing that you'll never actually get to see worn or used. So if they're just tacking on solo things to get the rewards like Triple Triad on an NPC, what's the point of the event? Just to help some people get some stuff they don't already have by playing the game normally? Doesn't really help solve the queues which was the intention.

It's never things from the current expansion, only a handfull of them are from the one before.

I don't want to be rude, but that's just hiding the problems under a rug... Of course we're gonna talk less about the parts that work and spend more time about the part that feel wrong. There is no discussion needed when everyone agrees. Like how everyone agrees that the change of format is a good thing, that the problem this time is the reward. Give the same reward with the old event and nobody would have batted an eyes. Maybe a few message about how there is try to make thing interesting. Here people reacted because they see the effort, but it still achieved to fail at the finishing line.
That whole "concentrating on the good things" feels so dumb to me, it feels like the FFXIV of "your job sucks, you're miserable, get no recognition and your salary is not high enough, but hey, we provided you ping pong table". Positive feedback is only usefull once to indicate "this was the way", negative is in nearly all the other case.

Plus the community is (or maybe was until EW) far more positive than negative. Forum is where complain get concentrated because that's the official platform. But if you look on reddit or any social media, there are far more positives than negative.

Same… maybe sometime during Dawntrail! lol it’s the last one I need!

I liked the whole 10 minutes it took to complete.

I love the new format, rewards on the other hand need work. Why is a lvl 50 extreme mount still a reward? You can solo these extremes in 20seconds. There is zero reason for them to even be on the list. It should have a ex mount from CURRENT ex, from last expansion ex and from the expansion before that. Lvl 50 and 60 should not be there.

Also maybe a glowy primal weapon from the later primals for each class.

More beasttribe items from later beast tribes. The event should be nice to circumvent annoying grinds.

Put Timeworn artifact in the reward (one for 50-75 mogtomes) and people will farm this like if there was no tomorrow.
