This Years Christmas Event (Suggestion)

I know it's a little early to ask, but it doesn't hurt to make the suggestion now!
Last year's Christmas event we got to have an outdoor Christmas tree.
For this years Christmas event, can we please have an indoor Christmas tree for inside our houses?

Also! Would it not be fun to decorate the inn rooms whenever there is a major holiday? It'd make those who lack a house feel like they're involved somehow!

we need Santa mount.

I have a feeling that it is a little too LATE to ask. Christmas items and quests will either be added to the game in 3.1 or 3.15. With the delay between 3.07 and 3.1, I'm not all that confident 3.15 will be before January. We'll see next week if Christmas items have been added to the patch files.

Yes, give us a christmas tree for my (and my FC's) non-existent house, please. :o

(What about giving us new house plots for christmas instead, huh? :( Winter is cold, I don't want to be homeless anymore.)

If anything it's too late they'll have done the Christmas event months ago.

I'd prefer instanced housing the neighbourhood thing just doesnt work.

Around christmas there should be some free plots (45 days after 3.1 start)

In my opinion SE should be work on improve their LAZY seasonal events. In every single event happens the same: 1 set gear for glamour and furniture by completing a quest chain or spamming a fate on the main cities, also you can get all these stuff in 1 hour or less of playing.

This year All Saint's Eve event they give us a mount... GOOD THING but just by completing a quest chain so... SAME as always

In others mmorpg players have dungeons, fates, quest and a whole storyline that leads the story of the event. Also they have to play a lot in order to get the items they want so the event keeps you busy and makes you spend a great gaming time.

I prefer "A night before Christmas" themed event
Sandy Claws needs more exposure

Hopefully they will have the Christmas trees from last year available to buy or what not.

While having more to do for the duration of the seasonal event would be nice, WoW rarely changed or added anything to their events, and lazily rehashed the same thing over and over. Even after massive changes to the world, the holiday events were updated only at the last minute, sometimes after the event had already gone live. I'll never forget Santa's helper in Stormwind missing after the Cataclysm, because his usual spot was now burning inferno. It took them a week to update that. Or how about multiple years in a row awarding the same "2008 brewstein" as a quest reward.

As for other mmos, I can't recall many others that even HAD holiday events. Most of them just had new costumes added to the real money store (not introduced in-game first), or maybe had a few holiday themed enemies at best.

I like that every year, something new is happening in FFXIV, and the story and characters of previous years are advanced and updated.

I wish they would do what wow did and make a holiday trail and also give us something for everyday of the month that Christmas is in. I really liked that with wow.

A whole story for the event you say?
Hm...seems familiar. OH YEAH, exactly like how it is in xiv!
Also, other MMOs don't have fates.

Aaaand also, yes each event is always a quest chain, but its almost always different, so that point is moot.

You remember that old concept of crafting items together and in the picture they were crafting a cake?

That, but with a Christmas Tree indoors... sounds delightful.

I would love something like this as well. Somewhat of a everyday login reward that gives you helpful items, like tomes or any other currency, or just Christmas items.
Special items for being online in all the days of a week, and an even more special, final reward for being online in all the days of the event?

If there is one thing I absolutely hated with a passion in other MMOs, it was the "everyday login reward" shit they pulled to "give people something to do". That's not doing anything! My freaking CAT can do that! And if you actually have a life, you won't even get the main rewards because you couldn't log in often enough, great.
I can totally get behind longer quests, trials and the like, something that takes longer but that I can still do at my own pace. Something that takes one hour each day for 8 days, or 8 hours in one day - totally fine. Something that ONLY works with one hour per day is not just excluding a lot of people, it's also the cheapest way ever to force players to log in even if they don't have the urge to play everyday.

My first question is: What the hell is that from?

Second is: Why the fuck haven't I seen it yet?!

It usually goes that way.

I've never heard of the requirements being an hour, though. It's usually 15 minutes (well, from the MMOs I've played).

I wouldnt mind Santa visiting Eorzea. Please make Santa a Lalafell.

I went with an hour in the example because it's easy to calculate. I'm bad at math and way too lazy to calculate with 15 min over the course of several days xD
The actual amount of time doesn't matter anyway, I'm talking about the CONCEPT of being forced to do an event at a certain pace (one step per day and don't you dare miss one!) instead of letting the player decide how to split up the event like he wants to, including the option to not log in at all except for one day and then grind through everything in that one day, from morning to night.
