    I'm amused by how many people seem so upset because it's a consumable item that "is pointless". It'd be pointless if it did absolutely nothing. A free teleport is not nothing, and 50 of them to boot makes it more than I'd expect from a free bonus given out for supporting the game (and it's not like it's the only thing given out).

    You pay a sub to access and play the game; you don't pay a sub to get the items.

    There's a saying: "Never look a gift horse in the mouth". Yet, here we all are, taking a good look because we feel entitled to better. Would you rather have got nothing?

    Yoshi said he wanted the 360 days reward to be something special. An Odin minion and 50 free teleports doesn't feel very special to me :\

    Yeah I feel the same way.. feels more like a free cash shop reward for spending over £50 xD

    I really dislike consumables as rewards..

    i pay a sub to access the game, yes. but i maintain a constant sub because i want these rewards, i'd be fine going without playing a month before a new patch since i go through most of the content before the next patch is released. i would argue it's not a "gift horse" as square enix is incentivising an uninterrupted subscription on my part with the promise of these rewards. so you'll have to excuse me if you believe me entitled when i say the aetheryte tickets suck. acquiring teleport gil is not a problem, just do your dailies and you have a decent number of teleports a day with a little bit left over.

    wind up odin is beautiful though i only wish the companion reward was any where near its level.

    Actually its designed so you can interrupt your subscriptions from what I read on it. You can paid 2 months straight take 3 months break than pay for another month and you would be at 3 months subscription paying, getting the 3 month sub reward.

    Yes. Or more accurately, I would rather they just gave me the 25k gil.
