The recruit a friend campaign, Partition

Petition i made a mistake in the spelling when trying to correct it in google lol thank's google.

Hello, i am a Hardcore fan of final fantasy xiv and have been player from the release of the original FFXIV (2010) right up till present time and am still a paying sub to the mmo, i have introduced about 5-6 players who have subed for well over 90 days i find it insulting that i am not given the mount unless i find another person to invite which is going to be hard for me as the friends i have already play the game or have moved on to another mmo and i don't have anyone else who would be interested. so basically people in my position will have to buy a new account link it with the offer at hand and pay for a 90 day sub to a account they don't want or need, i find this underhanded and insulting, and i know i am not the only person who feels this way.

So if you agree with me that this kind of content should be available to tho's who are paying customers and loyal fans then please sign your name in protest to this unfair treatment, we are there fan-base, we are there income without us final fantasy xiv would not exist and we deserve to be treated with more respect.

I totally agree, i have previously invited friends to join the game who have subbed for more the ninety days and still sub to the game to this day, i want to be able to ride with my friends, and think the limitation of the invite a friend campaign is horrible.
Let us all have a double rider mount we all deserve to enjoy the same features for subbing monthly, if they want to add these <in my opinion> cash shop like features then make the game free to play and i will buy the mounts, but while we all pay our monthly subs we all deserve access to these features, i am aware that ffxi had an invite a friend campaign but there is a difference between giving away an exp bonus hat and a mount that has a feature many people will be unable to now use.
Please sqaure enix i love the game and i want to enjoy all its features as a paying customer!
Don't let us fans down!

Isn't a tandem mount going to be introduced as part of the "player unions"?

Partition: a structure dividing a space into two parts, especially a light interior wall.
"the cafe was divided up by glass partitions"
synonyms: screen, divider, room divider, dividing wall, barrier, wall, fence, panel, separator More

If I buy a car and the month later that one have a special discount, I don't event think to go to the seller claiming he must refund me the difference in price. Got the point?

Maybe someone underage and not drive cars, I'll try to use terms that (hopefully) can be better understood: if you buy (and eat!) your Hamburger meal at McDonald's for 2$, and the day after there is a special sell at $1,50, if you are sane on mind you don't go there asking for a $0,50 refund.

Petition - i made a mistake in the spelling i'm not claiming to be the best at English but i don't think that your direct attempted to insult my intelligence by explain the definition of my mistake in words was in anyway called for.

As a company, SE needs to have something special to lure new people to their game. For 1.x players, we had the Legacy Campaign, for the 2.x we had the Veteran Rewards, for both the 1.x & 2.0 game we had the Collector’s Edition items, we had the Pre-order items (like the Cait Sith minion) and now we have the Recruit a Friend Campaign with the the feather, teleport boon and the double seated mount.

But, that doesn’t mean that we are not gonna get a double seated mount as an option within the game. We all know that the “Marriage System” is on the way and they showed a Double Seated Mount for that.

For example:
http://cdn4.dualshockers.com/wp-cont..._58.jpg?42e955

And last but not least, there was also a double seated mount without the barding shown in the Live Letter.

For example:
http://cdn4.dualshockers.com/wp-cont..._38.jpg?42e955
http://cdn4.dualshockers.com/wp-cont..._02.jpg?42e955
http://cdn3.dualshockers.com/wp-cont..._13.jpg?42e955

(Thanks go to Abriael Rosen for making the screencaps of the “Letter of the Producer Live - Patch 2.3 : Defenders of Eorzea”)

So, for one, i don’t think that SE is treating us unfairly since there are plenty of opportunities to introduce a Double Seated mount for everyone. But, let’s not jump to conclusions here… The mount could still be introduced at a later stage through the Veteran Rewards, the Marriage System and who knows… Even chocobo Breeding.

People just want to have that mount, right here, right now. They even go to great lengths to get as much of these bonuses, that they go out, buy another copy of the game, create a new account and use that account for the Recruit a Friend bonuses. If you want the mount that badly, that totally fine, but it’s all your choice. SE didn’t force you to do it. You as a player made that choice by yourself.

By all means keep requesting for the double seated mount for everyone, but just keep in mind that SE has to think of ways to attract people with special (limited) items as well. The “Lightning Event” is a great example of that.

Opinions seem somewhat divided by the idea of a partition on this matter.

How exactly do you expect this to work? Square Enix doesn't have any way to know which people invited friends before they added the 'invite a friend' system. All they have to go by are people saying they invited friends and should get the chocobo. If they start giving those people the chocobo, all of a sudden everyone on every server will have invited friends ...

There will be other ways to get a dual seater chocobo (marriage system being pretty much confirmed), so you'll just have to wait.

Thank you so much for the info i actually had no idea about this someone told me that the only way to get a duo-mount was trough the recruit a friend and was feeling abit down as its obviously a very cool feature for a mount, i wish there where more people like you on the forums and less people out to insult.

Another Tough Guy

Just ask around if there are any new players on your server who plan to sub and would like a code. There are plenty of opportunities to get a mount from someone that way.

Why is everyone crying ? :/

Op i personally have three FFxiv accounts (two of witch are legacy), and have been a fan of the ff series for a very long time. I do not believe that I deserve this particular reward simply because of my subscription history (that was already covered once). I feel the recruitment program as it is designed to bring more people in to the game and is justified in offering the mount as a reward incentive. As I understand it the mount gives no advantage other than the ability to give a party member a lift occasionally.

Petition: Get rid of out-of-game promotions for in-game items entirely.

Because seriously... Screw that noise.

WOW really do you go around being a just being a grammar nazi GTFO, unless you have something useful to contribute to the thread fool. Ya know all the non legacy members should get something like this for free because paying $20 a month for an incomplete game really cmon. Screw you RAF mount Bring Blitz ball into the game!

this is not a double seated barding.

The second is the one we have, without the white feathers

I don’t see why it’s not. There is no silhouette of a character in that concept art, so we have no idea how big it actually is.

Take a look at how the characters are sitting on the Double Seated Chocobo:

http://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/lds/p...jpg?1406793149

If you compare that with the Wedding Chocobo, depending on the size of the character(s) taking place on the back of the Choco, it’s still viable as a 2 seater.

http://cdn4.dualshockers.com/wp-cont..._58.jpg?42e955

The reason why i say that is, if you take a look at the current Chocobo barding, you can see that the seat is positioned more to towards the neck of the chocobo, rather than at the back of its back (not leaving a lot of space for a possible passenger).

Even Yoshida is referring to it as a Double Seated Wedding Chocobo, since he said that they’ve “been preparing a special chocobo that can be ridden by a bride and groom when they get married” at the time they are showing that particular concept image:

Q: Suzuki, are there any plans to implement cuter-looking chocobo barding in the future?

A: At the moment, we're working on designs based around primals. In patch 2.2 we released Leviathan barding, and we're planning to implement a similar design based around Ramuh. However, before this we have other designs we need to test for chocobos. We’ve received a lot of requests for two-person mounts and we’ve begun work on them, but we’re still only testing movement and issues related to programming. The models haven’t been finished, but if there are no issues, we will be looking into making a special chocobo design and create the model for it.

Yoshida: Since the time has just about come for the implementation of two-person chocobos, we’ve also been preparing a special chocobo that can be ridden by a bride and groom when they get married.
