A requestBring to bring peace to your players this year early please :) Re: Starlight

A small request.

The world, economies suck right now as we all know. Stress levels and depression are at all time highs.Unemployment is skyrocketing, Wars and tensions. Trade wars etc etc Take your pick on a problem.

The one thing, almost universally, brings many joyu and a little peace is the atmosphere of the Starlight Celebration. This year could we start the Starlight festival earlier . Like 2 weeks earlier. Looging in and hearing that gorgeous music, the decorations and just the feeling is one thing we could use a little more of.

I am voting events should be twice as long if patches keep being stretched and drip fed.

It'd be also fun if they added starlight to more places than just the the three city states, but 2 extra weeks for starlight sounds like a neat idea!

Places like lowes, home depot, and Costco want us to start holiday planning in August. SE could decorate Limsa in July so they are ahead of things.

We don't need Christmas to take over more places, keep its length equal to the allotment of other holidays, and not one picosecond further.

I'm down for it. Anything to override the constant rain in Lavender Beds! x'D

Okay, Grinch! You should be the villain in the next Starlight quest! LOL

I think the Starlight Celebration should give everyone a choice of 1 free cash shop item as a present.

You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch,
You really are a heel!
You're as cuddly as a cactus,
You're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch.

You're a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

You're a monster, Mr. Grinch.
Your heart's an empty hole!
Your brain is full of spiders,
You've got garlic in your soul, Mr. Grinch.

I wouldn't touch you with a thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole!

You're a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have termites in your smile!
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile, Mr. Grinch.

Given the choice between the two of you
I'd take the seasick crocodile!

You're a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
You're a nasty wasty skunk!
Your heart is full of unwashed socks,
Your soul is full of gunk, Mr. Grinch.

The three words that best describe you are as follows, and I quote:
"Stink! Stank! Stunk!"

You're a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You're the king of sinful sots!
Your heart's a dead tomato splotched
With moldy purple spots, Mr. Grinch.

Your soul is an appalling dump heap
Overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable
Mangled up in tangled up knots!

You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch,
With a nauseous super "naus!"
You're a crooked dirty jockey,
And you drive a crooked horse, Mr. Grinch.

You're a three-decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich
With arsenic sauce!

In real life, I’d definitely agree it’s getting ridiculous! lol It’s one day, and it’s all you hear about for 3 months at least! Personally I don’t celebrate Christmas, so I look at Starlight as a winter holiday of its own, not just “Eorzean Christmas.” For me it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have the snow and decorations up for the entire month of December. And they could do the same thing for the events where it makes sense, and/or they have some kind of special area set up. Like All Saints Wake could be up for all of October. (I’d like to see more gpose areas like that for other holidays too!)

But in a more general sense, I think I’d also like to see more events added to the various holidays if they ever did extend them like that. Not in a FOMO sense of “you have to be here the first week to do this particular thing,” but more like something new is added to the holiday each week, and you can do it at your own pace throughout the month. Almost goes without saying that extra rewards could be added too!
