RIP Minion Collectors :(

[jameseoakes]

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

I don't think anyone minds there being minions in PVP (there is already 2) I think the object is that there will be 2 minions restricted to less than 120 people.

at least they haven't ruined my orchestrion collection yet

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

There are minions already not available to anyone if didnt preordered the game back then etc. so some minions arent available to me too. Your point is invalid those minions I talk about were time limited too and a limited amount of players got it.

The thing is anyone could get the preorder minions there was no limit to them. This new minion only 10 people can get and 100 on the mount.

They don't run out of preorders cause they want as many people possible to get the game. I never saw the site out of preorders when they were doing this for the expansion. There is no comparison to 10 minions vs nearly unlimited preorders.

These are both time limited promotions only 1 did not have a limit on how many were available the pvp one only 10 people can get. Makes it so collectors can't easily get them.

Feels bad that those "collectors" have to work for smth instead of buying everything from mb and rl store.

As a low-g collector, I am cool with this.

Do not get me wrong, I understand the frustration of not being able to obtain exclusive minions. (Looking at you pesky Dalamud and Bahamut minions) I am just the only one, along with a few others on this board, to admit it is pretty sweet to be a special snow flake with a limited fancy minion. I love special snow flake status. In fact, I love seeing the PVP mounts and I don't PVP. Let them PVP hustlers be special snow flakes.

If there is a SE riot on this limited PVP minion, here are a few solutions.

1. Place PVP minion in POD - Floor 300 or drop
2. Place minion in Aqua - 100 floors, I do not care
3. Craft in 4.0
4. With the end of veteran awards, maybe make it like 3 years of daily logins to obtain. LOL
5. .000000000000001% drop during PVP 8 months after season

These are just a few suggestions. I think all of the above gives special snow flake status to PVPers and helps minion collectors.

YAY!

Hire me SE

The Upcoming Duality album will come with arranged versions Unbending Steel and Borderless orchestrion for the Initial Print run

The whole pvp reward structure is messed up.

Instead of rewarding by top positions, it should reward by rank progression. That way PvPers would still have to work towards the higher platinum and diamond ranks for the top rewards, but instead of being limited to 1, 10 or 100 players, it would be aviable for everyone in said rank, making the rewards much more significative for a much largers audience and probably, will mean a greater and more stable influx of players into PvP.

Right now this just encourages a basic influx due to hype about mounts and minions. After a few weeks, at best a month, PvP will be back at normal.

I really don't understand SE obsession with making rewards super exclusive and limited, instead of encouraging participation is just making the exact opposite.
