I'm disappointed, why are we being punished for the cash shop?

I'm not into housing. I also have enough retainer storage to satisfy my needs. So, my opinion on this is going to be from an outside perspective.

That said, I just wanted to say a few things.

A lot of event rewards cannot be traded or sold ever. That housing items apparently circumvented this restriction doesn't make sense to me. There needs to be more incentive in this game to sustain an active subscription and seasonal events are part of that incentive. Seasonal rewards should be exclusive and special and not something you can pawn on the MB for profits.

Personally, I'd prefer the rewards remain exclusive. I'm not of the mindset where I'm entitled to everything just because I can pay for it. But, if they're going to add the rewards to mogstation, it makes practical sense to do what they've done. If I wasn't subbed while some of these rewards were made available, I shouldn't get to have them without paying for them. It's simply not fair to the people who were subbed and supporting the development of said content. Being an FFXIV tycoon or buying gil from a 3rd party seller should not give me the same access as someone who was subbed and supporting SE. If I was subbed but didn't bother with the rewards, then I can't blame SE for that. As such, it makes sense to alter the system so that said items cannot be transferred from player to player free of cost.
