Dev Request: Sell the Lightning event items on Mogstation!

To start, this isn't a question regarding the event at all.

I'd like to ask the devs to, since previous event items are sold, to place the hairstyles and gears and other rewards from the Lightning Strikes/Returns events on the Mogstation for sale for a small real money fee and would appreciate support from the community since this would seem to be the only way for anyone to get these items now.

I am suprised they still havent placed the items from past cross over events on the mogstation. I reckon they are holding them back, because the event might return. Lightning Returns is still comming to steam, so maybe they are waiting for the steam version to release?

I'm guessing it will come during the 2 year anniversary celebration, along with the DQX and FFXI events.

Ask them to put things in-game, please, not in the cash shop. Thank you. Asking these kind of things is what got us where we are right now (with a cash shop on a P2P MMO that didn't have one for more than a year, not counting 1.0), so be more mindful about your requests.

Anyway, there's more threads requesting the same thing. No need for another one.

P.S.: I have them and I don't mind everyone else getting them too.

I am mindful of what I'm asking, that's why I'm asking for the realistic option instead of just thinking they'll hand it out for free.

People are just going to end up complaining that the event is back again, even though it doesn't affect them, and then those same people will complain about them being in the cash shop and they should be earned in game... .-.

Maybe add them to the Gold Saucer?

For the love of... Stop asking for things on the Mog Station. If this game should go F2P, then have at it, but so long as we continue to pay a subscription to play the game, all you're doing is shooting yourself in the foot.

Jeeze, people can't accept that it's a limited time item for a limited time event. They gave people two (or was it three?) chance to get that item. You didn't play during the first year of FFXIV, so you lot out. Should have join the game earlier.

Well that's the thing. The event offers nothing to players who did it back in 2013-2014 (and a sequel to the quests would need to exclude Lightning, since she cannot return to Eorzea), aside from the FATE's... but the only FATE's that actually make it possible for you to buy the XIII themed weapons are the level 10-13 FATE's.

They've already set the precedent for "limited time items" coming back, and the same can be said for hard to obtain items being made easier to obtain. Nothing is exclusive in this game. I honestly prefer it so if it's a limited time thing (event items) it cannot be obtained again, but if that's been thrown out of the window why make an exception here?

Am I eligible for the free subscription FFXIV too?

1. Nothing is free, we pay for subs for all this stuff.
2. Handing them out for 'free' is what they did in the original quest anyway after doing a few fates.
:P

A realistic option would be to have these items for sale in game from a vendor, this would be better option than to have them in the cash shop.

I already have these from doing the original quest, but would like it available to everyone else that can no longer do this quest.

Yes please i'd happily pay for these items.

Paying for a sub doesn't mean you get everything for free anymore, I'm sorry but deal with it, being angry at forum posters won't rewrite rules.

I don't get why they care so much what people do with their money.

Your guess is as good as mine, but really blocking some items from gamers who didn't play when the events occurred just because you don't want to spend money on the items yourself seems incredibly childish.

Because it ends affecting everyone else too.

It already does, but that doesn't mean that we can't express our discontent and try to point out something that we feel that is out of place.

No one is block shit, nor has the power too. The only child here is the one crying to SE to go out of their way and cater to cause they want a virtual item noooooooow.

How does it effect you? Is it mandatory that you buy items on the store? No. They are optional and i will continue to support optional items.

The vulgar language, the end result of not wanting someone to have the item, and the way you typed "now" are making you seem pretty childish here.

Because it directly affects what is available for us in-game.

No ones asking you or anyone here to play the white knight so let SE do what they will. Yoshi is not out to kill ff so put trust in him and the team

Please keep your issues constructive and mature or please don't derail the conversation. Thanks everyone

What the OP is asking for is to make something more available which I don't really see a problem with because they had the event many times. But some new players missed out on it that may want it.

Please elaborate?
I haven't played this game when the event came out, I haven't subscribed when the event came out, now I want to pay for the items now.
I hope SE will create new events instead of repeating old events, let the old event stuffs be in the mogstations, so the people who didn't subscribed at the time, can pay it now for them.

That is why it's called a "limited time event" if you miss out, you miss out, We may as well ask for all the 1.0 legacy items to be put in cash shop as well.

The fact that the cash shop even exists in a Paid sub MMO is already bad enough, Much like fools who buy gill, People can just depend on throwing money at whatever they want.

At what point did it become your job to decide what others spend money on? Other "limited items" are already up for sale, so why is it so bad to ask for these?

Never said it was "my job" unless you do not read very well. the event was already called back 3 TIMES, people ALWAYS ask for it, every year, it gets annoying, I do not care what people waste there money on, Gill buyers give me that same speech" its my money" etc.

I could understand your point before this Moonfire Faire event, but SE has shown that they're not too greedy in that regard. Not only did the put other Yukata designs in the game to be easily obtained for those who didn't want to pay for them (and weren't around when they were in the event/just didn't do it), but they also put the sandals/shorts along with various other swimwear and new outfits. I haven't seen it negatively impact the game in any way so far.

It isn't, but regardless they have an opinion on the matter like you. If you don't like that, too bad, this topic was posted on a forum where people can disagree with you. Sure you can say they are trying to decide what you can spend your money on, but that doesn't make it true, because these items are not in the cash shop and are merely hypothetical at this point.

Ask for things all you want, but that doesn't mean you should get everything that you ask for nor' should you expect people to cater to that mindset.

It was used as an example, of people throwing money if they want something, Do not try to think to much on it,

Keep it constructive or move along

No, i did not, i'm not sure how you even got those mixed up, this is a case of you not reading very well, but i already explained it to the last person who made that mistake, don't get all defensive over your misunderstanding.

Don't feed the troll.
