About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

Wow. This is just horrible.
Seriously SE, what the hell are you thinking? 175 pages of this thread with loads and loads of people who are ready to throw money at YOU for a few ingame-items. What do we get instead? S...tuff like that. Seriously, I don't get it.

Now instead of finally having happy customers again, who are willing to rip the cloud and the attire out of your hands, you'll be again met with rightful complaints about not being able to get said items.

Why those campaigns? Why not just putting them in the Mog Station? No one wants those campaigns. No one wants to be forced to buy a product from a shady looking and horribly working website they don't really want or need, if they're even happy enough to be able to get something.

Whoever thought that this was a good idea... No, just no.

I'm just gonna go wait a couple of days to see if anything comes back in stock. Because of course there's going to be a run on everything the first day. I wasn't surprised to find the site down yesterday, either. That's how these things go.

1. Promotion partner not capable of handling the regional user base
2. Nothing worthwhile for us PC players

Yeah. No. I'm not even bothering this time around.

I thought I could not be further surprised but it seems I am..really who is creating all of these campaigns? It really feels quite unprofessional...just put them in the mog station and be done with it please. :/ You are just going to anger more and more people.

I'd love to know why Yoshi-P has not commented on this issue...

Is he even aware of it?

Doubt it and if he was aware, I doubt he would care. The fact that we reached 175 pages and year of complaining and asking SE to just put the items in the Mog Station, shows that people are not happy with the current way and that SE is not handeling this very well. SE knows that we want these items, they know that we are willing to pay money for it via the Mog Station, but we are ignored and get events that are not handled well.

I am going to wait for few days and hope they restock fast, but this is disappointing and one can only think of next years event, because from what I can see, we will be experiencing this all over again next year.

community team commented on the official thread, don't act like there is no communication.

Website is slowly loading now, but everything is out of stock and I can't even back-order a copy for when it restocks because it doesn't let me login. Does it work for anybody else?

Website is slow loading because their traffic is far larger than usual from the sheer amount of XIV players trying to get in on the campaign. Everything is out of stock because of the sheer amount of XIV players trying to get in on the campaign. Ordering a back-order copy works for me.

I'll just copy and paste my response to another of your posts in a similar thread since it's relevant.

You do realise that many players - myself included - have been very patient for a great many months whilst offering constructive criticism at every turn only for the exact same mistakes to be repeated over and over, right? Furthermore, issues that afflict the North American and Japanese communities are responded to by Yoshi-P himself. Whereas European players are lucky to get a response from our community representatives - and even then the issues aren't properly resolved. We've been told that they'll eventually be on the Mog Station but no set date has been given and we're stuck losing out on the items and seeing players from other regions enjoy and display them.

So at this point in time it's perfectly understandable as to why some people are very vocal in their frustration. You can tone police all you like but their concerns aren't invalid - and this isn't the first MMO that has actively screwed over European players, either. Given that some of us have been playing MMO's for roughly a decade I don't feel as though it is unfair for us to feel very irritated at being treated like second class customers.

Out of curiosity, are you a player with a European regional account?

Why are you replying before my comment..? Oh, whatever, look, I said I understand that the page is slow for the reasons we all know, but it's been a day now and I still haven't even been able to log in into my account, let alone try to queue for a back order. The rest of the website goes fine, but I get error 500 whenever I try to login. I've tried different browser, a different device, nothing, and the only way I can request their support is by logging in, lol.
And now I'm wondering, are they going to leave it broken all the weekend long and fix it on monday?

Everything concerning cross promotions with square enix has been nothing but trouble, but what can I say, I guess I should be happy because for the first time ever I even have the chance to partecipate?
