Eternal Bond - Standard Plan and Gold Plan

[Roris]

Yeah, it comes off as miserly players complaining about a staff run vanity event because they want the event's rewards without paying.

It's not staff run though, it's all automated, just need to reserve the instance and the quest in advance but no GMs are involved.

But we are paying, and it's not a staff run event.

I really question why it's so hard for SE to make fluff content simple and enjoyable and doable by everyone. Housing, glamour, and now weddings - all made far more complicated (and in wedding's case, made far more expensive) than necessary.

SE, if your team can't figure out how to do fluff content in a way which isn't overly complicated and/or expensive for a vast majority of your playerbase, please for the love of god hire some people who can.

I'm taking the Realist approach by saying;
I feel like SE is doing this to make sure people take the Bonding-system seriously and not force those who really want it to wait while hundreds of other players do it "just for a mount". Also like Raiding, I do believe they should create other outlets for people who just want the mount. I think that would solve the problem.

It seems like all SE-White Knights trust in everything SE does and all the Chicken Littles scream "The sky is falling" every time they put something in the cash shop.

I am not interested in the marriage. But I am really disappointed with the microtransactions. If this was F2P i wouldnt care. But its not and if people are buying the gold ceremony they will keep up with the cashshop and it wouldnt surprise me if they are adding P2W stuff later. Remove the subscription or remove the cash shop

"One day a countryman going to the nest of his Goose found there an egg all yellow and glittering. When he took it up it was as heavy as lead and he was going to throw it away, because he thought a trick had been played upon him. But he took it home on second thoughts, and soon found to his delight that it was an egg of pure gold. Every morning the same thing occurred, and he soon became rich by selling his eggs. As he grew rich he grew greedy; and thinking to get at once all the gold the Goose could give, he killed it and opened it only to find nothing."

Unbelievable. Remove the monthly fee or remove the cash shop! !!!

Ultimately the reason they probably pursued this route is to discourage people from getting married solely to access the glamor gear/mounts intended to serve a special purpose. Otherwise you'd have 20 Party Finders up "Looking for marriage partner, let's get mounts", I doubt that's what SE wants.

it was easy to make it with a huge wait time action (like you can do it only one time every 2-3 month) and you loose the chocobo when you get divorced.... i don't see why the people wanting to use the system normally must be punish!

and it don't change the fact that it's not different than a micro transaction or a dlc into a mmorpg... we can't allows this to continue!
