Producer LIVE Part II thoughts

[Anonymoose]

So, mostly people who have ACTUALLY PLAYED THE GAME THROUGH 2012.

Problem? How many people did you know by the end of FFXI who had a rabbit belt? Or even the red specs that distributed fireworks? Harpsichord? It's not like a Speed Belt where at first they're extremely rare and over time they're easier to get. This is one time only.

The whole concept of FTP games is BUILT on the logic that cheap, popular things that are only available for a time eventually become insanely expensive collector's items that come with the message that "THIS PLAYER HAS BEEN HERE." It's a status symbol.

Is that illegitimate just because it's common AT FIRST? Throwing these things into a P2P MMO from time to time is good for player morale and makes some people go apeshit for the opportunity. I know I would...

I wasn't attacking you.

I wasn't attacking you.

I know, I just thought you were saying that all current players would have it and thus it wouldn't be rare, and I was just trying to say... "Yet."

Or was that a joke about like, the mayan apocalypse?

Apologies if my reply sounded antagonistic; it truly was just a very long-winded "Yet."

It's fine. Honestly, I have my anti-troll shield equipped around here 24/7. xD So I understand.

But really, it's only going to be as rare as the dev team allows it. Really, I think it would be interesting to have each mount given to you depending on how much you accomplished throughout the game before 2.0 or something, that way each mount will be unique or something along those lines.
