Premium Live Stream

It wasn't, at any point, deemed exclusive to attendees only.

No but it was clearly implied in the language they used.

At the time of them announcing the attire and it being available to attendees, there was no mention of any other way to view or take part in the events. After all tickets were sold, they then announced the live streams. Regardless of whether the attire was ever going to be fully exclusive or not, it was advertised as so to begin with. Not to mention many people have spent a lot on travel and accommodation which they could have saved if they were fine just watching from home. But they made it seem like this was such a big one off chance to get involved and then basically said "nope, all of you can enjoy it!".. People are now just paying hundreds more to be there in person.

There is no real answer to this as it is simply ranting and does not cover any point of the actual complaint. Go back and read the original post.

I...eh....think you missed ALL of the obvious sarcasm in my post.

No but it was clearly implied in the language they used.

And no, no it wasn't.

Sure, it was advertised as being for attendees but at no point did they ever say it was exclusive. If you misinterpreted as saying so, that's your fault and problem. Plenty of others have been able to read it and understand it not to be an exclusive item.

Each attending player at Fan Festival will come away with a special in-game item designed for the hardcore FINAL FANTASY XIV collector, making them the envy of players around the world.

Well since anyone can buy it for $20 with live stream I don't think so.

Note however, players who buy tickets but don’t make the event are ineligible to receive this special reward, so be sure to join the festivities and collect your prize!

Or go on the internet and buy it without having to attend.

This is a clear case of miss leading advertising.
