What it sounds like, to me, is we have to spend our achievement points to get the missing rewards we want. Perhaps some clarity is or was in order.

This isn't like in City of Heroes/Villains where each sub time achievement had a button on it we could click to receive our rewards, or just let the button sit there if the rewards don't interest us. I don't expect ever for FFXIV to follow the same suit.

What I do expect is some contrived system, because Squeenix.




Or just dump them all in your armoire and ignore the ones you don't care about. It's not like they have to take up space (though I suppose they clutter your armoire list a bit if you're really never going to want them).
Or they could make the outfits follow the same rules as the minions and other items now relegated to this new shop, and save me the trouble either way. Because yes, I could go to the Armoire just a few feet further and save the one "Are you sure?" step on each item, you're absolutely right, but the nuisance remains, regardless of whether I want those last two outfits in there or not.

And there's the problem, really, is that the free items that we know are remaining free are being given to us whether we want them or not, the items I know I do want are being moved to a shop when the last one was a stone's throw away (not to mention the above point where it's unclear whether we're spending the points or just requiring them), and the vet reward system has been turned into campaigns that are timed so as to keep people paying for a sub in the month or three before the next content patch (additionally leaving some vets feeling more jilted than others) when chances are that a good number of people might have wanted to save their money for a month or two and have to suddenly make that choice.
