Do you guys also think the Shantotto minion should be put in the mog station? what about the slime hat?

wtf?

Alot of EU players did not even have the option to participate with the promotion, we were told to wait and the last week before the codes were going to expire, we were told that there was no event afterall. People should stop being such snowflakes and let others enjoy the items aswell. I was lucky enough to get both items from the promotions, but others were not. Let them have the items. SE will be paid and the customers will get the item.

Snowflakes... ffs

OP, SE have said they are going to add these items to mogstation. At. Some. Point aka years

My 3point game has more "hoops" than this

You're assumming everyone in all regions could use amazon (that was a NA promotion btw).
EU and AU was screwed on this. UK had to buy magazines for months to even be eligible. Scandinavia had to purchase a SE title/SE released game worth of €20. Rest of EU and AU still waiting on this (2 years later).

The latest campaign was 4 or 5 month after NA and we had to buy items again worth £xx.xx on a 3rd party webshop.

As a EU player who has (luckily) managed to jump through these hoops, I'd be just fine with them adding those promotion items to the cash shop.

Honestly they should add all future 7 11 /Amazon/WhateverEUPromo in Mogstation and everyone will be able to take part. If SE require you to make a $/£/€20 purchase then price it at that amount.

Indeed, either that or sell them via a online shop where you can buy a digital item, instead of only physical item (shipping fee can be very expensive for some countries) and a shop that accepts payment via different options then creditcards, for example, PayPal.

I am also fine with having these items put on the mogstation.

I was lucky enough to get all the magazines I needed for the items, others couldn't even get them despite trying their hardest because there was not enough supply of the magazines.

We must have read different threads. All I saw were players asking for an easy alternative to a ridiculously convoluted and badly planned promotion that few non-NA/ EU players were actually able to use, and some petty users disagreeing "on behalf of those who bought it"... despite said players saying they're fine with it.

The maid and butler promo was a year ago in May, it's nearly been a year and a half at this point.

For people who want in Mog Station, they'll buy them directly, it's not a give away.

That is why we participate in promotions when we have a chance.

---

In this particular case, yes.
But at this rate they'll start requesting other 'exclusive' items that were tied to a physical purchase, like the Zanzetsuken emote, minions, and what not. Where's the exclusivity in it? They simply rushed me to get this stuff that was going to be eventually added to the mog station. I know people who paid $200 to have the Odin statue shipped to their country.

And before someone says it, I did wanted to get the artbooks and OSTs, and I did wanted to go to the Fan Fest not for just for the items. But I was somewhat pressured by a deadline and had to hurry to get them so I didn't miss them. Oh well.

I see. I wonder why so many AU are being vocal about in the EU Promo thread that was made 1.5 year ago. I realised I got the timing wrong. Feels like it much longer than last spring

AU didn't get this year's, unless they order from UK.

Well, the ShopTo event applies for all EU countries, it was even used on the GER and FR lodestones, even though the origin country for the products is the UK.

But the thread was talking about the butler/maid gear anyways, which was from the older event.

this, but then agent few top 100, will be butt hurt about it. ( MORE LIMITED THEN THE NEW VETERAN SYSTEM OR PAY EVENT)

Well as a NA player, I am not. It was a limited time promotion with EXCLUSIVE items. A lot of people would have not bought into the promotion (from all regions) if they were going to throw it in the Mogstation later on. I do not care about the snowflake ideology, i care that when I am told something is exclusive, it remains exclusive.

If you are going to screw me SE, at least lube me up first.

If they do, I simply ask they do not make it dye-able. You get your maid/butler set and we get our exclusive sets.

Players in NA were not screwed over in any way. It was the easiest of all of the promotions to participate in, even easier than Japan's, and you've had exclusivity over people in a lot of countries for ages now.

The people who were 'screwed over' were people in the EU region (not all of whom live anywhere even remotely close to Europe). Some got local campaigns of varying quality. Some, however, got told to wait for local campaigns then, after the others had all ended, they were told their local campaigns had been cancelled. With no alternative. Those are the people who were screwed over by this campaign and for their sake I hope that the items are coming to Mog Station soon. Imagine how miserable it feels to be them, seeing everyone running around in clothes they desperately want and could never get for themselves simply because they made the mistake of trusting the official S-E campaign information. I'm not one of those people but they most certainly exist and their access to the gear is more important than the self-satisfaction I feel for having made a special trip three times to buy a magazine I didn't want.

None of the above applies to the Monkey King promotion, which is still ongoing and hopefully expanding (I'm furious they staggered it and made EU wait longest again but that's just what S-E thinks of this region). But they have specifically already said that the maid/butler suits are coming to Mog Station in future, so y'all need to accept that fact and move on with your lives.

EU is a separate matter with NA because the lack of common sense with the marketing team. I do not care if it comes on the Mogstation for them. I care about NA and I keep hearing this "They said its going to be on the Mogstation.", but I have yet to see any sources for this interview. I will go find the source myself at the moment.


Here is the source:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...ilable_on_the/

From the official forums:

"Hello
There's been a lot of talk regarding the North American and Japanese promotional campaigns. We are working to setup campaigns in PAL regions with the new in-game items. They will also be available for purchase on the Mog Station at a later date. We will share more information as soon as it becomes available.
Please note that the North American and Japanese item codes won’t work on EU accounts. "

---

What annoys me is how shallow this information is. Is it talking about PAL regions or all regions? There is nothing saying ALL REGIONS, which I wish they would clarify.

Unfortunately EU isn't a separate matter, in that there are no region-exclusive items in Mog Station (and hopefully, there never will be, because region locking sucks). EU, NA and JP all share servers so if someone from EU is playing on a NA/JP server (or just a EU server, for those screwed over by the bad promotion) they'll be forced to see everyone else enjoying items they cannot access on a regular basis.

The fact that the campaign codes were region locked is part of why it was so dumb, since it meant anyone playing outside of the optimal countries had a very stressful time.

(I do not have details and could not give them here even if I had them due to the rules, but there are rumours that a Mog Station version of the maid/butler stuff is ready for imminent release into the game. It would appear that it's very likely to be happening within the next couple of months, finally putting the screwed over EU players out of their misery at last.)

Edit: Aha, it's on the Lodestone: https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...m/ee73931c0f7/

If that isn't a Mog Station version, I'll eat my hat.

Edit 2: The name is slightly different so those with the original maid/butler suits can retain some vestigal smugness at how superior they are, perhaps?

My heart goes out to EU, because they had it the worst with extremely limited items that did not even reach some countries, but NA is a different matter...There was zero screw ups and the only ones who are asking for this are the ones who missed the event or did not participate. Does it suck? Yeah, but that's life, opportunities pass you by sometimes.

But if you think about it, isn't the potential damage from asking S-E to start region locking the Mog Station (which is what you want, right?) far more dangerous than seeing other people dressed up as maids? Imagine if they release some exclusive mount recolour for Europe as an apology for the campaign mistakes - or more likely, exclusive Japan-only Mog Station items such as tie-ins with Japanese baseball teams or convenience stores (a very realistic possibility) which cannot be licensed elsewhere. I would hate to see genuinely Japan-only, Europe-only or NA-only items on my server. It's a slippery slope to walk down.

Awesome! It's about time SE did that.

To clarify, I'd like to see it on the NA mogstation as well.

I've already said I disagree with items being eternally exclusive to a select few, so I won't get into that again except to say my mind wasn't changed by what I read here.

A TON of people got screwed over by the promo events including the falcon mount one. The cross over events arte considered holiday events as well, so i have no hate if they added the slime hat or shantatto minion, heck id buy the minion for my g/f as it was her fav character on ff11 and she missed both events due to personal issues.

items in mmo are rarely exclusive.

The EU, NA, and JP mogstations are pretty much the same. If the maid set is being added to the EU one, it's very likely to be added to the NA and JP ones as well.

The great thing about loopholes is that they exist.

Nowhere does it state that these items are permanently exclusive. Exclusivity is exclusivity, even if it is timed. Is it misleading to not say it is timed? Yes. Does SE care? No. They're after your money, not your feelings.

Fingers crossed they release them this year.

I would like this as my Christmas gift.

I am guessing they will be released with 4.15, which is probably mid to end of November.

If that is a new version that dyes the white apron part too... I'd like that... It would allow people to get the item, but it dyes differently so the exclusivity remains on one hand, but the new dye method can be a plus to people that already have the original too. I wish they'd make more versions of items with different dye patterns... like the Riviera dress, or Oasis Sarouel.

Thank you for adding it to the cash shop!
