About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

Snip

Even worse, because they chose the worst kind of. Not to just pick a magazine really, but the fact they chose the most unaccessible of all kind. Not everyone wants to do this busy work for a costume (and a mount.

1) That's true, unless you don't care about being mistreated: it doesn't matter if a shop gives me a 80% promotion on an item when they treat me like trash, nobody will ever touch that shop ever again. In this case, EU is being treated like trash since that our promotion will take us 3 months instead of 24 hours like in JP or NA. That and the hard-to-access magazine for most players.
2) No they're not , you are correct, but as I said above: unless you don't like being mistreated, backlash will be present. China outfits are a bit different because they cannot play with the rest of the world, but NA JP and EU play on the same servers as a matter of fact (I play on a NA server but I've seen JP and even a lot of EU players here): equality is key in this case. If you're fine with it, then don't let me stop you but considering, but considering that NA and JP had a fairly accessible way to obtain the items, while we don't (keyword here is accessibility), you cannot expect people to be happy.

That's why I came up with steam: it's more accessible and most EU players have a steam account. Win-win.

As it is, I'm only expecting a very few players to do this convoluted "promotion" to bother with the entire ordeal.

That and people who want to sell codes, that is.
