RIP Minion Collectors :(

I personally have never seen the appeal of PVP in a MMORPG, but that is just me. I see PVP as a place where it brings out the worst in peoples behaviour and such.
Like when I actually were pretty good in PVP in WOW, until I started getting people I killed make Alt characters on my server to send me death threats and harassed me to no end.
It kinda turned me off of PVP in MMOs at least for good. If I want PVP action, I play COD, Battlefield, Overwatch, as those games are not something I sink so many hours of my life into compared to XIV/MMOs.

And? Oh someone doesn't like how something they don't want to do is getting attention from the devs. Noted.

That's... Not even close to relevant to what the quoted post was trying to say lol. Although you did sort of prove their concerns valid. You also might want to take a few deep breaths, seeing as your posts have been nothing but increasingly antagonistic for no legitimate reason. Please, if you wish to have your concerns noted, it would be in your best interest (and the community's) to provide a suggestion or expand your opinion beyond "If someone likes this change I need to discredit everything they say, no matter how irrelevant!"

It pretty much is. How else could you read it? This entire thread ranges from people being upset a minion was skill gated to how PVP is something they hate and that there shouldn't be rewards for PVP anyway.

And I like how you claim my response is similar to the 'death threats' he received. But I guess you had to stretch the context that far to criticize me so I am not surprised.

"I don't have the best experience with PVP in MMOs" =/= "I don't like PVP so no one should pay any attention to it" Also I was referring to the "bringing out people's worst behaviors and such" concerns, not the death threats.

Your main complaint about the minion itself appears to be the "effort" factor. The devs only announced that they will be providing an alternate method of obtaining it. This also =/= "No effort required, in fact, you don't even have to play PVP!" Considering the original plan was a level of exclusivity FFXIV hasn't really ever seen before when it comes to collectables, I don't think they'll make it as easy as you assume.
