So this 1 year anniv. event.

Oh wow, chocobos. /sarcasm. Hopefully they can take damage so I can just run into aggro mobs and let them die. That'll be worth getting one for. Especially if I can /dance on the dead body.

Unless there's Gladiator gear in the maelstrom shop with Limsa flair then there won't be anything worth getting for me.

Give me your 1000 GC seals then since you don't want them.

Nah, I'm sure in 1 more year there will be actual content related to GC seals. Just like it took 1 year for there to be content related to the Derpbird rental npcs.

Woo, 1k seals that I can use to buy nothing interesting! My main city doesn't even sell Gladiator gear so it doesn't matter.

This 'event' is as bad as the bells. Go interact with something, get free stuff. If that's your thing then you should be pitied. Not by me, though.

Buy dark matter with it. Also, did you know that companies give scrolls that provide your Gatherer or Crafter with an SP bonus? Cost 200 seals per scroll and last til you hit about 10-12k with the bonus up. They are like crack.

You are just being short sighted. Just because they don't help you and don't provide anything for you doesn't mean Company Seals don't for other people.

Edit: also, you can purchase equipment for GLA in other cities. They haven't forced you to side with one company yet. You can side with them all. Do some Company missions and get more seals, put a Toto-Rak raid group together to get more seals in that city and buy yourself something nice. You're only stopping yourself from gaining anything, really.

This isnt a "big and wonderful event which gave me thousands of hours full of fun", but SE never said it will be.
Sooooo.... a tent with 4 NPCs talking about their Grand Company, 1000 free seals, new fireworks and 6 achievements are still better than nothing.

This! It's NOT a huge "jim-will-fixit" event. It will be a changeof pace "we wanna show we love you all" event. Take a moment to enjoy it. You never know, you may endup enjoying yourselves for a few minutes

Those exp scrolls are so useless it's not even funny. It lasts like 5k or so, not anywhere close to 10k. Mine lasted like 20 minutes of lazy crafting.

Wow, getting worked up just because an event wasn't what you expected it to be.

Real mature.

I said it lasts until you hit 10-12k, didn't say the bonus alone was 5k. It may be 5k, but since I didn't know definitively what the figure was... I shared what I did know. Also, they are certainly not useless.

Another irrationally dissatisfied player. Nothing will ever please you anyway, so why should we or they [SE] listen to you bitch?

[Akira_Tenshi]

You know what's funny. I spent all my company seals right before they announced how to get a Chocobo. How dumb am I lol. Should have known they were giving seals away for a reason, something's coming.

Since it's a fixed amount it is almost certainly useless for anyone above 25ish.
