I don't want to have to buy the outfits of my favorite non-XIV final fantasy characters off the cash shop any time a new one is released. I'd like to be able to get those things by playing the game.
Because events cost resources. They have to write a script, make new character models and the reward itself, all for nothing. Do you want a 15 minute forgettable event like Lightning or something longer and/or better down the road? As for the gold saucer... I would much rather pay real money than grind MPG for months on end ala Fenrir. That's just me though.
