About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

[Saon]

As an Australian player, the fact that we'd have to wait even longer is ridiculous at this point. If it wouldn't be so expensive I might have sucked it up and bought the magazines if I was actually interested, but frankly, they'd likely be used to replace my bog roll 'cause I don't give a damn about the content. I'd rather not pay $45ish AUD, given that the NA promotion cost a minimum of $20USD for something the buyer actually cared about.

As a side-note though, the fact that you need to send them a photo of yourself with the codes is a stupid idea. There's nothing about who ownership of the photos would belong to after being sent. I personally would not be happy with a company I've never heard of having a photo of me, even if i obscured my face, and using it without my permission. There are easier ways of verifying identity anyway.

If the AU promotion ends up being anything like this, I'd be unlikely to participate, no matter how much I want the Chocobo and maid's attire.

with how many people want to purchase it off mogstation, or want to not do anything that would inconvenience them at all, I think that most people in this thread, indeed, don't know what a promotion is.

Maybe because it's accessible? I did say already that a promotion, to be successful, has to be accessible. As it is, it's not, making it unfair for a good amount of players.

Yes it's a promotion, but a very bad one, because of said reasons I mentioned twice.

PS: Yes I heard the amazon promotion was exploited...but the real question is, how could Amazon be exploited to begin with? Couldn't they have fixed it somehow?
I honestly can't even blame the people for exploiting stuff (like housing in this game), because they actually found a flaw in the system, a flaw that should be fixed by the owners. Sure it's bad, but it's not their fault if the system was flawed to begin with.
It's like with glitches: do you feel bad for using them for winning a fight in a game? Sure you do, but it's not your fault if your game is buggy!

Community reps, please leave a message in this thread to acknowledge that people's opinions on this farce have been noticed. Even should it lead to nothing, it does help.

most of the countries outside of UK are getting their own promotions.

that being said English is the official international language of EU and is a requirement to get a job in most EU countries.

This is categorically untrue and there are substantially more countries in the European region than the handful listed. Please don't insult the good people of the rest of Europe while they're already upset at being abandoned by the promotion.

Regarding the whole send in a photo at the end... why can't the mogstation simply see we've added the 3 codes to our EU account and just automatically add/send the chocobo mount? Why the need for actual humans to get involved in verifying/sending out codes manually as well as the whole privacy issues with what happens to the photos afterwards?

Assuming they actually print enough magazines for us to get them...

What promotion? This is a demotion campaign...

[Huntington]

So could I, as someone that lives in the US, have gotten the codes from the Amazon promotion and given it to someone in EU? Would that have been possible?

Unfortunately not, the NA codes were region locked

[Kururu-Chan]

Nah, the Amazon codes were locked to NA only.

I'm starting to wonder if you're the one not understanding what a promotion is...

It's technically a promotion in the sense of the word, but a horrid one that benefits noone interested in getting the items, and objectively worse than every other promotion for the same items.

But wait a few minutes, we still need to hear "lolz guis is a promosins, ur dumb" another twenty times or so to 'prove their point'(?) .
