About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

[Facade]

I was going to give in and purchase all 3 to get the chocobo, but have decided the best action is just not even bother for the chocobo. I will wait for the 3rd mag and see if anything comes out for the other EU countries as it'll hopefully be much less of a hassle than all this. I really want that chocobo, but the only thing I am holding out for is the outfits. Hopefully since the first two are not items people are dying to get and peoplpe can't sub to get them, they will end up "semi" boycotted.

I have no seen a good word for this anywhere be it twitter and facebook either and it's certainly disheartening to not hear anything from a mod to see if they are going to make it fair or just an out right no.

The funny thing is there was an official reply, but it was in a thread that's since been taken down I think.

And it completely missed the point of the complaints, basically reassuring people they didn't have to put their face in the verification pic, and that the magazine wasn't going to use the pics for any reason other than the verification.

Which of course isn't at all what the complaints are about.

Are the codes from the magazines all unique? If so, I'm confused why a picture has to be sent in for the fat chocobo. If all 3 are activated on an account, send through the fat chocobo. Only if there's a dispute (someone bought the magazine but someone else already used the code) should proof of purchase be required.

To be honest, I have a feeling that those who will have the patience to try, will most likely be those who will attempt to sell codes for in-game or real money.

I really expect that to happen...

Compared with NA promotional, this is a nightmare IMO. Buying magazine is so... old in this year like, we have internet now... I have JP friend who got NA item code from buying at Amazon and he notice I'm the only one on English LS who use NA account (mostly they're using EU account) so he give me freely (I'm from SEA continent). That's beyond easy compared with EU right now. Idk what my LS responses with this campaign since they love maid attire and white fat chocobo too.

as much as i want that maid outfit...i'm NOT supporting this campaign

This is another reason that I regret making my account EU when I first started , I guess I shouldn't have listen to SE 4 years ago when they told me "create an EU account if you are part of Europe and PAL region area"...

I was so happy this was announced finally (and on my birthday which totally made my day! )
The promotion is okay as I was willing to pay any price to get the items, especially that MOUNT! Will feel a little dumb going to the local supermarket to buy TWO copies of EACH magazine just so my partner and I can have the codes... To wait three months is a little kick in the teeth.... But to send a photo of me holding the codes just to get the mount.... Ummm...

Mate, my family and partner can barely get my self confidence up to get a photo of me done for themselves, what makes SE and Games Magazine so sure that people like myself are going to be willing to send a photo of myself to a complete stranger?!
Was it really that hard setting up an online system that we could input the codes into and then the mount would come from that? Surely entering the codes onto our accounts is proof enough that we have possession of them...

43 pages in, still no proper response.

The longer this thread becomes the worse it gets, 14 team. I suggest you do some proper clarification and at least let us know that the next few promotions (in different European countries) will not have these mistakes. I hope these mistakes do not show up again.

Okay ! So i will be the first to say i caved !... Bought the magazine in a store was rather cheap, had cute stickers in. Was all going great, put my codes in and low and behold they fucked up already ! I put in my code for the 50 aetheryte tickets and instead my code was for 30 Jandelaine's tokens which is next months rewards....
