That's pretty much the reality of any situation where one group has something another doesn't. Not to mention, that's exactly the case when you deal with international conventions. SE main, for example, will always prioritize Japanese players over international ones. It's home turf. Blizzard will always prioritize the US, because that's home turf. Unless your job is specifically to cater to international audiences over your own local one (which is rarely a thing), there's going to always be some degree of bias. Realistically speaking, that degree of favoritism is acceptable. I'd say most people would choose getting something nice for their own family over getting something nice for some random persons family, if they could only choose one over the other. Most folks would take pride in their own country over pride of another.

As I've stated before though, ask away on wanting something, as that's fine (as long as it's not done in a stupid manner), but know that not everything is going to be equal. You're not going to always get something another has, likewise, they're not going to always get something you have.

I want that damn cloud mount!

You know SE can do whatever SE wants to do and probably will including promos or whatever but that doesn't mean as paying customers, that we can't voice what our perfect product would be. I see no reason there shouldn't be equality and fairness of all items and equal chance to acquire them. Favoritism is a choice that they don't have to make. They could set it up any way they want or do away with all promotions everywhere all together and come out with different ways to introduce new items that would be fair. IMO video games in general would be much better without promotional codes at all but I'm guessing SE feel they want to milk the player base for cash this way as part of their business model but maybe there is a better way to handle it that everyone could profit from including SE. Hopefully one day things will change for the better in this regard.

Every topic about exclusive items is the same thing. People saying that they want content (as if it's something like: YOU EITHER MAKE A NEW RAID OR TRY TO GET PROMOTIONAL ITENS FOR NA/EU USERS) and people being extremely dramatic saying things like "SE U DON'T LOVE US LIKE YOU LOVE THEM". LOL

Anyway, I do care about exclusive items. I play the game for a lot of reasons, and minions, glamour, events and stuff like that are some of them (and truth be told, it doesn't matter if some don't, more than enough people care). But I believe that the chinese items are a different situation from the japanese ones. SE should be more transparent about that subject, and how the process behind making exclusive items for these servers work and why they exist, and if it's true that we can get most of them if the demand is enough, they should at least tell us that our voices were heard. Because, if we can get them eventually, imo it's okay. It's a completely different server with a different administration, and it's not that shocking and unfair as it was with the maid outfit. We'll just have to wait a bit more.

I'm more or less indifferent to the actual items on that list, but I still think they should be available on some level for NA/EU regions. Not sure about the third-party vendor approach for it like the Amazon promotion, but maybe something closer to SE's control. Promotions favor players, and isolating it to certain regions means that some players are more favored than others.

On a side note, these promotions are region-exclusive. Housing is server-exclusive. Big difference there.

Region locked items are a NO! Let us all enjoy your hard work equally! Plus i want me the Chinese red dress!

I really hate these region locked stuff, no matter what game, region locked content is vile.

That being said, I want these stuff for us lmao.

I really want the outfits plz:)

Many people tend to forget there are different companies in these versions of the game, that makes this stuff. I talk about, square is the publisher and make ofc, but there are other peopel behind these versions as well sadly.

I personally don't care for any of the outfits myself, but I still support that they come over here for the english folks. If they can't release those type of outfits because chinese exclusive or whatever. Just give us the outfits in a different color that is dyeable and call them something else. Not liek they haven't done this in the past.
