RIP Minion Collectors :(

[Zojha]

Surprised people are starting the whole outrage now - We had two seasons before this, it was pretty clear minions and mounts would become rewards eventually from the moment they said they would change rewards.

The whole ranked system caters to a minority (good players) of a minority (people who like ranked stress) of a minority (people who like PvP). It's been set up like that from day one. Yes, it's probably one of the dumbest ideas a dev could have had. But it's nothing new and I don't think people who were fine with that setup before should complain about it now that it affects them. Glamour enthusiasts were screwed before, now minion collectors get screwed, so what? Instead of complaining that it affects you, maybe try complaining about the fact that people get screwed in the first place.

I'm a mount & minion collector , actually #2 of ragnarok and I have 208/210 minions at the moment.
This is a really really bad news in my opinion. Sure it's useless, and only I care, but this collection is what is keeping me on the game in-between patches when there is nothing else to do anymore.
I wouldn't mind doing X number of PVP games to get a minion even though I don't like PVP, but now I have to be good at it too ? And it's time limited ?

I'm sad today

But you have to be good for some other minions and mounts too :^)

When SE started locking minions behind plushies, albums, books etc. That was the moment I stopped being a collector. I do not have tons of money to spend on all those things but worked really hard in game to collect minions and mounts. Now I just get what I want because I realized I will not have a complete collection. It\\'s best others players realize they will not have 100% of everything in the game unless they spend lots of in game time on things or tons of money. Just recently the devs made some older minions like blue bird really easy to obtain which I was against.

However the opportunity is there. Do I have a opportunity to buy all the plushies and merchandise? Yes I do just like everyone else. Will I? No sadly. Do I have an opportunity to do PvP and work to get into the top ten? Yes I do. Will I? No because PvP in FFXIV is not my thing even though I enjoy PvP in other games.

They've attached minions, mounts, and now even emotes to RL money requiring purchases. This is just another type of exclusivity. This one shouldn't sting as much at this point.

Strange how the devs seem so opposed to having time and amount limited PvE rewards but for PvP they seem to be more than happy with it,

Yea that pisses me off I have no problem with exclusive items but it all needs to be treated fairly. Either exclusive across the board or none at all.

i see nothing wrong with having minions in pvp its not like they have a achievment that req all minions of the game or something

God forbid you do something besides swipe your credit card

I don't think they should be putting minions and mounts as rewards for ranked pvp with limited rewards. This makes it so people who collect them will have a really low chance at getting them. Only 10 people can get the minion and 100 people can get the mount. Its per data center not even server.

It should be win 10 and 100 ranked matches during the season then everyone who wants it can grind it out.

Yeah but they are not 1) time limited 2) only given to the first 10 players

People who collect mounts and minions it ruins our collection not being able to get them all. Its a limited time and only a limited amount of people can get them.
