Correction of prices for optional items

[Rayder_Griever]

[QUOTE=Fizzie;2517800]And event items were purchasable in-game before. They always came back around the next time for purchase.

Actually if u didn't beat the seasonal event you cant purchase the items its only if u have beaten it before that you can re purchase them, so your argument is invalid sorry to inform you, but wrong.

As pointed out multiple times before, event NPCs from that seasonal event sold gear from that previous event from the year before. For example had the cash shop not been planned, this year's vendor would have sold the 1.0 pumpkin heads along with the ghost costume, just like a year ago the event NPCs also sold the 1.0 pumpkin heads, just like the summer event NPCs from this year sold the 1.0 swimsuits, the 1.0 yukatas and the 2.0 swimsuits, etc. The Calamity Salvager does indeed also sell them once you've completed an event, so that's probably what you're confusing.

yes roris that is true but who wants to wait a year for those? they are unobtainable till that event comes back, and if you missed the event you can 1 wait till next year, and 2 now you have second choice you can buy them. that's what i meant by my post he was saying why buy something you can get in game which you cant if the player hasn't beat the quest or if you subbed late. so no harm in having it on the store.

Rayder_Griever,

The whole argument is that they're ONLY available in the cash shop now. Those NPCs were taken out. You can no longer get them unless you pay for them.

They said they wont be available ever again in game from the events? plz send quote from fan fest i didn't hear that part

Go into the game and look. The past event items are not available. Those NPCs are not in game because they're in the cash shop. That's why there's a petition and so much fussing over this particular topic lol.

This guy would like to have a word with you.

Basically, yes. I don't think they directly said they wouldn't, but it was heavily implied. As you can see, the event vendor isn't in game for the Halloween event. If this event is any indication, there's no reason to believe they'll be back for future seasonal events. The thing is, some people aren't going to buy from a cash shop on principle, and some might not have the means to buy from the cash shop, so they'll never see these items.

Because they stated last year it was to allow people who didn't play 1.0 to get the items, it wasn't going to stay that way, this year it's a different set of quests and item rewards that's actually exclusive to ARR. That's why this past summer event they let you get the 1.0 yukatas and the last summer event all of the swimsuits, which were from 1.0.

Well you were calling them flat out wrong and saying their argument was invalid. As for people waiting I personally wouldn't mind waiting at all, I didn't participate in a lot of 1.0 seasonal events and was glad the wait was worth it because I got most of those items this time around in 2.0 with gil. Like I've also said before in this thread, if they did a limited time out of season sale after the events themselves had finished, I would have no issues with that, as long as those items where purchasable with gil again for the duration of said event.

Proof is with this current Halloween event. The event NPCs only sell this year's seasonal gear, you can no longer purchase past seasonal event gear from previous Halloween events, so no, they aren't available in game anymore as rewards from the events.
