Lightning/Snow Event

[zosia]

"Johnny-come-latelies", really? So you're better then everyone who came into this game after you? Way to demean and trivialize a whole group of people while elevating yourself solely based on something so trivial as joindate. By your own logic, you're a Johnny-come lately compared to me.
And while people may understand the concept of "missing out" on a digital event, that doesn't mean they can't voice their opinions on it, nor does it mean they should just give up on them. Until a dev chimes in, the option is still on the table. Not to mention, some of those people who understand the concept might still actual want the pieces.
Not to mention your two other examples, the Legacy Goubbue and the Horn aren't good examples. They already have an alternative to the Legacy Goubbue from the Sylph beast tribe quest and that horn has a small, niche audience versus the Lightning Strikes event items, which are pure fan service and much more easier to make nice outfits with.

Yes, that term definitely implies I think I am better than others, nailed it. /rollseyes

As to your point that is actually on topic, that's why I initially said this:

If you want a similar event, then ask for a new event with similar items just like the 1.0/2.0 comparison.

How about they add a recolored or dye-able version to the gold saucer so ALL players having something new to work for. Why not create content that everyone can appreciate instead of just rehashing the old rewards? Also, nice job ignoring this:

Some food for thought. First and foremost, SE is a business. I am sure the idea has been discussed internally about putting those DQ/lightning event items in the cash shop. They probably have some justification as to why they are not in there right now. It's not like this thread was a brand new idea they would have not thought of themselves. I would bet irl money that they talked about selling the items, but decided not to because they might bring the event back in the future or they wanted to retire the promotion of ff13/DQ.

Either way, they have a reason of some sort, just have to deal with it.

You're fooling yourself if you don't think this debate already happen internally. They likely considered most of the points we have all listed here and made up their minds.

Well with that logic, I'm one, too. My account is younger by a month. How did I get the Lightning set before you? You have a month headstart, you would have easily gotten it.

How is bringing back an entire game even comparable in the amount of effort it would require? This is literally just throwing the items on the Mogstation, they do that all the time.

Oh yeah, I agree that putting on mogstation would be best solution, I was referring to re-introducing the event every single month cause that's the frequency somebody sees a "lightning/snow" and comes here to ask for the event again. We had it come back twice after initial event already totaling 3 times, this is already more often than the other events that have occurred. Personally I'd rather have a NEW event but I must be the minority in that aspect.

it dosn't matter what item it is, people beg for any item that is not in the game, event or 1.0 it's just "gimmi, gimmi" this "give me lighting event back" pops up every so often usually ending with the people understanding or not accepting that they missed it and have to deal with it, or the quick solution of throwing money at anything you want instantly by putting it in mog station.

Much like the legacy items, you missed them because you weren't here, Get over it, deal with it. i have neither and i am perfectly content with how exclusive works, its already a weird sign that they brought the event back 3 times already due to so much begging, it's just a matter if they will cave in a 4th time, the latest solution seems to be "throw it all in the cash shop"


I'm afraid this will never end.

Snip

I'll apologize for sounding testy. I was deal with a few IRL things and got heated up.
I still disagree with all this limited-time stuff though... :/
Not to mention, how exactly would they give us items similair to the Lightning Strikes event items? They're already dyeable. :B
Plus, even if SE internally debated about bring them back, it doesn't mean that users bringing it back up won't cause them to reconsider.

I already did the event when it was first released. I'm just doing this for everyone who wants them.

I'd be fine if they keep this stuff exclusive as long as they give exclusive stuff to new players to compensate. I mean, you guys surely wouldn't complain about that right? Exclusive is exclusive after all.

id like you to elaborate the justification of your comment if you could enlighten me for a moment on how this is fair.
things such as the lightning event and what not i believe the events in game should be exclusive only because i want something new rather than rehashed events over and over. im not opposed to the availability to the cash shop though. those who have them i look at it as its a show of long term support given to the game.
to cut people out because they are not new just does not make sense to me. 'thanks for the support guys but you've been playing too long, get rekt'

I think he meant make more exclusive events so that players will have something exclusive that the next band of new players won't.

do we not get those already? the anniversary event had a minion. speculation is the next halloween event will have a mount that i doubt will be thrown into the cash shop

Don't you think you're making a trite point?

Let me ask you, what is the difference between 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 preorder promotional items and the lightning promotional items? We don't demand preorder items be put into the mog station, what makes the lightning promo items so different? Both the preorder bonuses and the lightning event were meant to boost sales, what warrants the return of one set of promotional items over another?

I'll apologize for sounding testy.

as do I
