    Anyone defending this is delusional disagrees with me.
    You think originality is the property which tells us how good an event reward is. I think the how much I use the reward is much more important, and I'm using this reward more than the bikinis, yukatas and especially that ugly armor set. You don't get to decide for everyone what makes a reward good and what doesn't. To me this event is better than last year's since both the reward and quests were better.

    I don't want the job restriction because I don't have 35 inventory slots to waste on just one outfit. Now I can get rid of the dungeon versions. I also wasn't deciding anything for everyone (or calling people delusional for disagreeing), that's why I said "to me this event is better". Some people in this thread are getting so riled up they forget people have different preferences and have right to have them.

    The problem is that they simply could have given us dyeable gear from the beginning thus you could run around with the set you like in the color you like (maybe just with the job restriction) and on top of that we would have gotten unique gear for the event. So both sides are kinda happy. I mean its nice that you like it and there is nothing wrong with that but you also cant just decide for everyone and it seems that this feels wrong for a at least some people.

    Now its not even sure if we ever get the others sets as dyeable versions since this one will land into mog station. At least a lot of the older event stuff was unique but this time if someone misses the event and wants that gear they will have to buy it for real money..real money for something that is already in the game as dungeon gear..

    Also the poster just showed how much we got as glamour gear in the previous events. Now we get more and more housing items that a huge amount of the player base cant even use which means that they either have to throw it away and buy it again for real money if they finally have a house or they have to use their inventory space to store this..

    The issue isn't with the gear themselves, but how SE's decision to put the incomplete dyeable set behind an event. So not only are we potentially missing out on a otherwise possible unique set of gear for the event, they are also (imo, probably) setting a precedent in which to lock highly desirable dyeable gear behind the kupo store due to how seasonal event gears are re-obtain down the road. Business-wise it's a perfectly well thought out move, not only are you cutting down on development time/cost, you're also increasing revenue simultaneously. However, from a customer's point of view? I'll leave that up to you to decide.

    These are all speculation on my part, by no means am I claiming any of the above are true. Sucks if I'm right though.

    The glamour part aside, I do enjoy the event. Even if it's only temporary, it's nice to see a group of players relaxing around Costa de Sol. Also, the guest appearance of Ultros is perfect! XD

    Well if its the version you liked out of all the sets then you can get rid of them but if you like some others more (or wanted the head piece) then you will still have to collect and store them. They could have given us at least all sets (with all parts) in this event, if they need to use existing gear for it. This way anyone could have simply thrown all sets away thus freeing up more space.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
