About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

[shepherd]

The August issue is back in stock: https://www.myfavouritemagazines.co....016-issue-306/

This is what it says now 4hr from this post

I have emailed them asking if they will be getting anymore stock online but from that extra line they added at the end my guess is no will update when i get a reply.

so i guess the only copies of this magazine you can find is in uk stores (none around me stock it) so good luck guys......

It's kind of sad how this went from a legit protesting thread about how SE is being unfair to EU customers, to a thread about where people can purchase the magazines. Fickle much? xD

Yes indeed, and I honestly gave up at this point: massive disappointment and I'm so upset that I really wonder whether to continue playing or not. It's not about the outfit itself (for me) but it's how badly implemented this promotion is, how lackluster the decision was (someone had to decide this right?). I just can't believe how poorly their choice was, especially after the great promotion they had for JP and NA (yes the Amazon promotion was exploitable, but don't blame on the players: blame THEM - Amazon themselves - for their lack of controls and fixes).
It almost feels like they didn't even care.

I'm seriously unsure what to do next with this game...

It's worrying that it's going out of stock so quickly. I wonder how many people from across the EU are competing for the limited stock, though? Let alone those who are purchasing multiple copies for friends or with the intention of reselling the codes? I fear that it will be the same for other countries throughout the EU too when their promotions go live. Japanese and American players did not have to worry about competing with foreign players since European players couldn't use those promotion codes in the first place due to region restrictions.

So for the EU to be forced to compete with itself is...unfortunate to say the least. Sadly it seems like another day is going to pass without any solid clarification being posted. I fear that with the activity in the thread declining the issue will eventually just be brushed under the rug much like the complaints that arose when it was revealed that UK players were forced to pay much more than their Japanese, American and European counterparts for the Heavensward Collector's Edition.

I can understand that it a crappy promotion but if you going to let that make you stop playing the game well then maybe the rest of the game doesn't bring you that much enjoyment anyways.

I don't think that's entirely fair. Someone can enjoy the game thoroughly but still be disheartened if they feel like they're getting a poor deal or that their concerns aren't being addressed. So they decide to offer feedback - and if that feedback is ignored or not addressed in a timely or satisfying manner then it only serves to cause further doubts to manifest.

Even for the more 'selfish' players who are throwing a tantrum over this their concerns are understandable simply because it's natural for people to want to not miss out on adding some neat items to their collections when players in America and Japan could do so with minimal effort and fuss involved.

This promotion with the EU is totally unfair. I haven't had any luck finding copies and the online store SE recommends has it out of stock.
Compared to other regions we have the most inconvenient promotion ever. Not to mention I am not living in the UK/EU anymore (I just had a relative check the stores). So unfair and very disheartening, I would have loved to added more "glamour" items to my collection but this promotion was just unfair to EU players.

I think part is also that this promotion makes you feel like a less valued customer than others. Na and JP got pretty good deals and we get this mess + the rest of the EU doesn't have any info on their campaigns. I can't say myself what kind of statement I want besides a timely info what other campaigns the other countries get. But I feel treated poorly as customer with this disparate campaign. So I can understand if some people feel actually less motivated for the game itself too if you start to feel unwanted/unappreciated/fobbed off with an in comparison horrid campaign.

NA got the best cause even if you aren't in NA but can access NA amazon, you could have gotten the items and it was just a single buy or an item that you would need. JP had probably some 7-11 trouble but at least the things they get would be edible. But EU got magazines that ultimately just run out of stocks as soon as they get released. facepalm to SE for this. I really wanted that butler outfit.

It's sad that this version of the promotion has turned into a 'whoever can get their hands on it'. A lot of people will be missing out, including myself. I will echo my last post in saying i can only hope the other EU promotions are easier to get the codes from because this magazine is not getting my money.
