Stop giving outdoor items in events. We can't use them in apartments or FC housing and I'm not going to click a button for 9 hours for a house that I'll lose if I unsub in between patches.
Most people don't have a garden and would prefer anything else over it. Either make those place-able indoors and outdoors or don't make them part of the main rewards. Just feels unfair as a reward from a lvl 15 event quest that a lot of players will never be able to use and can't sell. We've had side costumes on the mog to accompany the main rewards, I think the outdoor furniture should be just that because it's not available for everyone.
If they were sellable, I think it would be acceptable because we could profit off them if we don't have a house, but as it is they are paperweight for the majority of the playerbase.
I love the posters and have been collecting those for years. Anyone with enough gil can buy an apartment and place it there. Outdoor furnishing? Limited to FC's (with access to placement) or people who own a plot (which is limited and therefore niche).
The outfits can be used by everyone.
The mounts can be used by everyone.
The food items can be used by everyone.
The confetti can be used by everyone. (I personally don't care for them but I can see the appeal for a screenshot)
You could argue that "everyone can get a house lul" but that's simply untrue because there's only a set amount of houses available, but that's not the topic and there's enough threads on that issue as it is.
I can't be the only one who thinks this, right?
Please stop with the niche event items.

I understand why getting a reward you cant use would be frustrating. At the same time, i like that they give out a variety of rewards at these events. Sometimes we get mounts or bardings, sometimes we get music, sometimes we get minis, sometimes we get outfits, sometimes we get indoor/outdoor furniture. Not every reward is equally valuable to every player, but thats ok too. Im trying to remember the last event that had a reward that i really wanted. It might have been the FF15 crossover. The last few have been duds for me. That doesnt mean that im upset with the bunny suit(or the flowers, or the valentione outfit that didnt look all that great). Im happy that some people seem to(overly) enjoy it. Maybe the next one will have a reward perfect for me.

While I agree that I'm fine with not every reward being "for me", and I am fortunate enough to have a house... there aren't nearly enough storage slots in the outdoor storeroom room to put them aside, and they're very rarely things I would want to have out all the time.
If I could discard and repurchase them (and not from the Mog Station!), that would be a lot more manageable. -

It's a relatively small percentage of event items that are outdoor furnishings and there are usually other rewards from the same event that aren't. I don't see why you feel it's an issue.
The prebuilt paths wouldn't work because plot layouts vary so much and not everyone wants to create a straight to the door path.Quote:

Imo let us place flowers and stones and different grass, not counting for the slots. Did you see the upper MB at lavender beds? its like ALL THE FLOWERS but the servers melt if i place 3 patches?
-
05-11-2020, 08:28 PMCaitlinzuluBecause those fields of flowers arent on the server, they are part of your client date. Placing 3 patches wont melt the server but placing 20 patches on 30 plots = 600 items on top of everything else could melt the server . :DQuote:

05-11-2020, 09:11 PMKytrinI may be wrong, but I have a suspicion that to have something not count for slots would mean we'd get it pre-positioned without any say of where it goes. Which would aggravate a lot of people who want their items elsewhere.Quote:
