Adding Legacy Tattoo to Mog Station

[Keys2tkingdom]

I'm not Legacy - even though I wanted to be (Curse my shallow wallet, semi-outdated laptop, and no 1.0 PS3 client! TT_TT) - but I do NOT support this idea. The Tattoos should always be Legacy player exclusive.

Although I will admit I'd love to see a "similar-but-different" Legacy Chocobo mount (akin to the Gobbue mount and the Laurel Gobbue mount). I'd even settle for a way to only have the tips of of my Chocobo dyed black.

But asking for "Legacy Exculsive" stuff? No. Even if I covet that stuff more than a Full set of HQ pentamelded crafter/gather gear, Legacy players earned the right to at least some exclusive items and appearance options that newer players should never have access to.

Judging by some of the responses in this thread, the legacy mount should have been this:

Instead of the chocobo.

Judging by the people complaining about not having the stuff SE promised to keep exclusive to those who supported them loyally, SE should just put this on the cash shop:

Oh make no mistake, I think both sides of the argument are asinine at best. But seriously, you paid $40 at a minimum during that time and were able to play the game for free for a sizable portion of 1.0's lifespan. Please stop acting like you were scraping by to send every last cent you had to SE and that you single-handedly pulled the company from the brink of bankruptcy.

Very true but our support was a major factor in XIV still being around today. Without a fanbase to stick by SE while they modified XIV to its current state, XIV wouldn't have lived. It would have crashed and burned like any other MMO that failed. That is what makes XIV's rebirth so miraculous. It is the first of its kind to actually undergo a phoenix-like rebirth to become a critical success.

To spurn a loyal fanbase by going back on your word is business suicide.

I'm not even a Legacy player and I don't agree to this! The tattoos are for 1.0 players as a type of thank-you gift. It would be a slap in the face to the 1.0 players. I mean, yeah, it's just a tattoo and doesn't have any value, but it would make SE look like money grubbing Indian Givers if they did this.

Edit: I just want to add that though I feel you had good intentions with posting this thread, it just wouldn't be fair to the people who have them now.. that is all

Bah I have a tattoo on a legacy character and could care less. 1.0 was crap and no tattoo will make me remember it fondly.

For all the legacy stuff you were required to pay for 3 months?

Make it 3 months cost, round up to the nearest five. Now you have both equally supported the game. Or better yet add a new better tattoo in the cash shop and lore it in somehow. That basically makes it that one or legacy.

I always thought that out of all the stuff that was in the cash shop extras that were tied to some real world item should be available for sale. Should a new player never get a moogle costume? What about the moogle earrings that came with the 25th FF anniversary set.

Yes put it in Mog Station. Hummilate the early supporters and loyal customers by giving free gear and gils only to 2.X players. Also please increase the monthly fee for subscribers on Legacy servers and 1.X customers only and put all their belonging in the shop. The ones who will continue playing despite all this throw them in Titan where they will suffer Landslides eternally while the newer players will laugh at them and buy their stuff from the shop.

Snip.

I think a new Tattoo would be nice to have purchasable. Quite honestly, I am not very interested in the Legacy mark, let Legacy players keep it. I would however, like something akin to what the Scions have.

Better yet, if people want one so badly that they're willing to pay for it, have it tied to Rowena/Syndicate, since they seem to be the money grubbers in the game. You want to spend the money, have it tied to them, and nothing else.

I really like my tattoo. It reminds me that my character has been around since 2011, even if I didn't get to put as much time on it as I'd have liked to due to the hours I was working when I created her.

I like having a reminder that my character has been in Eorzea for quite a while and was there for the Calamity. It's something that makes her special to me. This is the only MMO where I've ever been able to stick to a single character for years at a time and I love having that history, and the tattoo is a good representation of that.

Because of that I'd really prefer not to have the mark added to the cash shop. If enjoying that and preferring 1.0 characters have it makes me wrong, entitled, or a bad person then I guess I'm guilty. Throwing money at something like that isn't the way to go I don't think. It only upsets a lot of loyal consumers who enjoy it, and for newer players it won't have the same significance as a lot of original players enjoy.

What I'd like to see instead is a big event or important quest in the future that would warrant another mark or brand of some sort so that newer players can have something to show the history and stories their characters have been through as well.
