Little Ladies Day Event

[Quesse]

[*]Last year's rewards (minion) and previous year's rewards (blossom earring) cannot be bought with gil, but must be purchase on the Mog Station if you missed them

Does this strike anyone else as a dirtbag move? I mean is this really the direction we are going with the mogstation?

Pre-Mogstation: let everyone buy past rewards from vendors
Post-Mogstation: charge real money for stuff we used to put in-game

This just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It will only go downhill from here.

People have said this time and time again but nothing will change within the community overall. People are just gonna continue to play and those that buy stuff, will and those who don't, won't.

It's a dirtbag move but it's one everyone has come to expect since Halloween is when they started to officially do this.

Err, direction? This is what the Mogstation was designed to do. This event is hardly the first time it's happened. Every seasonal event since the one-year anniversary has been this way. The only items you could buy from vendors were items released before the launch of ARR, with very few exceptions (I think the swimwear was post-2.0 but buyable one year later right before the Mogstation was fully set up).

It's been like this since Halloween 2014, with Christmas, New Years, and Valentine's Day also working this way. Ever since the Mogstation opened, SE has put minimal effort into the rewards for the seasonal events. Usually it's one new item that looks cool and a couple housing items. Valentine's Day had no interesting wearable items at all this year, just an okay-looking outdoor housing item.

Having the main rewards for seasonal events be a couple housing items is cruel and terrible. Housing is strictly limited to a handful of people with newer players being literally unable to ever own a house (unless SE adds more wards, and they're on the very second the new wards are added since all the smalls will be bought out in seconds). On top of that, the housing rewards are almost always outdoors items. The limit on outdoors items is extremely small, and most people with houses have already reached it. So, even the people who are lucky enough to have a house can't really show off the new items.

I'm not really that disappointed though as I don't really care about seasonal events in the first place. I just don't see the point in continuing to pretend to hold them when there will never be worthwhile rewards again and the old ones are no longer ever going to be available in game again.

Don't forget that it is players who keep complaining about event armours not being storable in the armoire, which has probably influenced their decision to go less gear, more furnishings.

Then just make them storable? Isn't that what's it's there for?

outdoor housing item.

housing item.

lol what? I'll have you know that the paramour barding makes my chocobo look like a sir.
People even ASKED for the little ladies' day outdoor furnishings last year, I don't see what the problem is, people wanted it, and SE gave it to them.
