Enjoying the New Moogle Tomes

I like the new system. I think weeklies and an ultimog challenge are a fun fresh take on the event. Going forward, it would be really nice if they implemented a wider level-range of stuff to do. For the dungeons, yes, implement level 50 dungeons so the newbies can take a crack at the event. But also include higher leveled stuff for people at level cap who don't think being synced down to ARR levels is engaging. Dungeons should've had a level 50 option and at LEAST a level 70 option. Same with normal/24man raids. In this way, newbies can have fun and so can people who aren't so new, and more variety means a higher chance of picking something more people will actually enjoy. Additionally, seeking community feedback about possible events (kinda difficult, I know) might be a good way to have less people complaining about the rewards that do come out.

The new format is cool. These rewards stink. And the next ones stink as well. I guess I'll unsubscribe for a while. That's the best feedback I can give.

Really like the new system as well. Essentially a "free" mount once I watched a guide on Ocean Fishing. Took two attemps and probably more to figure out but wasn't too bad. Might try for the 10K mounts as I start to understand it better.

My short answer is no. The long answer is I immediately miss seeing the tomes in the duty list. Was I seeing things or are the fates only level 71, and why are they locked to only 10 tomes per day? What if i want to spend a couple hours just running fates (which I don't<< shoulda been 4 tomes per fate)

I do not mind the format but guys come on we are so far past crystal tower bs. It should be every raid but that one. Rewards are okay but i want to start seeing pvp mounts for rewards. Or any other mounts for that matter. Doe is the last one i don't have from ishgard restoration. It needs to be something major. I would not have split it into two parts. It should have been a major event that lasts until dawntrail.

Not quite my point. I'm not saying to NOT talk about the things people dislike, I'm more concerned that SE doesn't hear the things people like and end up changing it for the worse because they never got any good feedback on it. Like how everyone complained and complained about relics and they gave up and said fine, it just costs tomes now. And then everyone starts complaining about how they liked x things about them and didn't want THAT bit changed, but SE never heard the good feedback and just assumed it was all bad. Essentially, I want people to talk about both good and bad instead of just hearing "I hate x" over and over again. And yes, while social media has a lot of positives, this is the main place for SE to get feedback. They're not reading random people's tweets or reddit threads.

While it seems a lot of people dislike the rewards, I think some thought should also be given to the fact that this event has pretty much always been a way for players to catch up on stuff, whether its time consuming or rare items, or otherwise unavailable stuff. If you already have everything, yeah it can kinda suck, but then you're probably not the intended audience for this event. Some of the rewards do feel a bit worse than usual, but there's still a part 2 apparently, and with how easy and fast it is to get tomes this time, they probably didn't want to just throw crazy awesome rewards at players for free. And honestly, quite a few of these rewards are good. They're pretty expensive, or take a good bit of farming. Yeah the lvl 50/60 ex mounts feel a bit weird, but so are the easy to get glam items (a frontline rou or 2) and housing items (usually really cheap to buy or make), but those types of items are probably never going to leave. (And the amount of lvl 50 ex fights mentors get thrown into because sprouts don't understand to unsync or make a pf, maybe this is a good way to dissuade them from queuing normally. Maybe. Hopefully.)

I’m more surprised that they have not put in any of the ShB EX mounts yet. I remember back in mid ShB they were putting those Kamuy like candies.

On the bright side, I can pretend this event to not even exist at all cause lmao only 40 mogtomes needed.

I could definitely use less reason to see CT raid popping though. Why do those raid needs even more incentives?

Yeah they definitely could have added a few more desirables that are more their typical style, and perhaps should still (if not hard, I'd hope not). It's unfortunate that quick edits are practically non-existent concept for SE lol. I get for certain content and player expectation that's not fair "just quickly edit in an entire game system!" (SE: ".. wot..?"), but adding items to a list? That's something other MMOs hotpatch without taking the server down.

I made a list of sinks that could be used, but just to add to that feedback- what about time limited sinks? Like the store has 1 time, or X time, purchase per event, then they might add end game tomes or other concepts. "Hey I know you want literally no item from this, but.. do you want 100 tomes that don't count against your weekly limit?". Mog events happen near transitional / end phases anyways.. can be a little bit more loosey goosey with pacing haha.

Moogle tomes are fine for what it's meant to be. The most common criticism of these events is always that they already have everything on offer. Well yeah that's because these events aren't meant for you. It's meant for returning players who didn't play through and farm the mounts or the minions. The more you play the less these events will matter to you. That's not an issue with the selection or the event itself it just means it's not meant for you. Maybe they could offer some kind of other incentive for veterans. Maybe you get bonus tomestones or something. Maybe the unique reward shouldn't be an accessory but a body piece so they'll at least want to farm the first 100. Otherwise I think these events have always been fine and do just what they need to.
