Patch 4.1: Achievement Certificates and Cascadier Uniform Voucher

First of all, I'd like to preface this post with praise. I played for a approximately two months around a year ago, came back in May, and have had an incredible time. I fell in love. Stormblood and Patch 4.1 have brought a lot of terrific changes. With that said:

Veteran Rewards: Items you already own cannot be exchanged for. The possible problem with the Cascadier Uniform Voucher is that it allows this (for means of obtaining male and female I suppose). Reading the text on the Voucher, I had no idea what it was, and in a rush of excitement, spent 2 Certificates to get it. While I was still able to purchase everything available, with spare Certificates, it irks me that I have the Voucher sitting in my inventory. There should be a prompt, mentioning that this item is already in obtained and you're purchasing another.

As this is my first post, I apologize for any long-winded sentences. Thank you for your time.

I'm confused as to the problem honestly.

Quite probably, but can you not use that to your advantage then? Just buy the opposite sex and store them all in your armoire?

just discard it, since it serves no other purpose

Those vouchers at least for me is for stuff i already have.. So yep useless

If it's really a problem, you could contact support and request to use your one-time item restoration to return the items, I guess? Though it seems like a small thing to waste your one shot at getting something fixed on, it might be worth it if it really bugs you.

Personally, I'm more interested in whether or not they're ever going to add anything new to Jonathas' shop that wasn't previously a veteran's reward, since I've already got everything he's offering AND a ton of achievement points burning a hole in my pocket.

It ends up being a waste of 2 Certificates. The retort for this will likely be "it's just 2, you have plenty more achievements to work for" but those are now useless. Those are achievements I earned, I worked for.

Every other item prompts you, I can't recall the exact line of text but you're not allowed to purchase a second Veteran Reward if you already have it. That's my qualm with the Voucher.
I won't be using a Fantasia for the opposite sex, so getting the Male set isn't useful either.

I don't exactly understand your problem, but if it is the fact that you misspent your points, don't worry, soon enough you won't know what to do with them.

The good thing is you can always get more certificates

I have plenty of spare certificates after purchasing every item. I don't understand the responses here though... Of course I can obtain more, of course it's "only 2" but it's 2 that are wasted. I understand seeing it as not a big deal but these are certificates from achievements. This isn't me wasting 2 million on MB by mistake. This currency is not expendable. There may be a point along the line where the rewards grow in option and missing those 2 could mean not obtaining everything.

with every update there will be new achievements and with every seasonal event there will be easy gained achievements

all items cost 50 certificates in total, I'm sitting on 260 atm, lol

I hope they'll introduce some cool stuff in the future that costs 100 or something

maybe they add some months or 1 year later the "90 days sub campaign" rewards to it for the people who missed it (but character specific instead of account wide)

I may be unpopular, but I do not think that the developers should do anything about it. If anything, the fact that you can't exchange stuff for what you already have shouldn't have been made like that.

Players often make posts about this or that, saying that they were excited or didn't have the time or whatever. And?! If you don't have the time, then don't spend on stuff till you do. If you're excited, then contain it. If you don't know what you're buying, then don't buy it before checking. Since you already have it (cause that's the problem, right?!) then you HAD those vouchers before and there was no reason why you wouldn't be able to know about it. It was just you being lazy and doing something thoughtlessly.

Learn to be responsible. People being irresponsible end up taking supports time which then cannot be spent on REAL problems. Ones that couldn't have been avoided by spending those extra few seconds paying attention. And by making everything foolproof, players are told that they can act foolishly and still get up on top. A horrible lesson to be made.
