Do you think people take earned rewards for granted?

[RokkuEkkusu]

I've been thinking about this bringing up this topic for a while. Most people make debates on what rewards are suitable for different types of content.

But there are types of rewards I tend to see people take for granted too often. It's the dungeon gear drops from chests. People could have tried to use the greed choice on them to equip for different roles, sell them for gil, GC seals/FC points, and/or glams.

In most of my runs, I ended up getting almost of all of the gear. I don't mind using them and/or turning them in for GC seals for potential gil and glam. But if I wasn't in those runs, they probably would have dropped to the ground just as much as the Xanthos whistle does in tank mount farms.

So I don't know if I'm thinking too hard on this, but the rewards the party earns and how people measure their worth is something I wanted to bring up.

I remember when I played during 2.0, the cap being 50 and I had all my Crafts at 50. I liked running dungeons so I could level up my Desynthesis skills, I actually remember doing this a lot. I came back for 4.0 and have yet to get back on the crafting horse, properly, all I do is the Moogle beast tribe quests occasionally lol. Anyway, my incentive to loot gear to Desynth was pretty strong before. But I do find myself not caring about Dungeon loot at lvl70 yet, due to my crafting levels and Desynth levels being so far behind.

And because I'm not back into crafting yet, I find this makes me care less and be a bit more lazy. I don't feel the need for Grand Company Seals or even making Gil for that matter. Maybe this is just me for the moment though lol.

Well it depends on the player. Is every reward worth it for every player? NO

Take mob drops in dungeons for example. How many times do you get hides and just wish they would stop clogging up your inventory so you just discard them. You may come across another player who actually needs the hides and loves them dropping.

For me personally it depends on what the reward is.

Poetics, gil, mob drops, dungeon gear, minions, exp are all pretty useless to me. I have so much gil all these rewards are trivial for me, however for other players they may find use out of these rewards.

Anyway I don't take the rewards for granted, I just don't care for them anymore.

I haven't had a use for dungeon gear since 3.1 with Saint Mocianne's Arboretum and Pharos Sirius HM, where the uncapped Asuran/augmented Law gear was i180 and the dungeon gear was i185. I tend to just pass on everything since I'm always drowning in GC Seals and, while not totally capped, my desynth ratings (WVR, ALC and CUL) are very high. And desynth has been like 95% worthless/pointless since early 3.0 (easy access to mats via NPC'd goods), to the point where I'm honestly just waiting for them to either stop upping the cap or remove it entirely.

Generally I feel like this game just hands me everything, even if the hand-out is behind a really long timed lockout. So I don't view most of it as a reward, which probably qualifies as taking it/them for granted.

Considering my undying and unending thirst for seals, I hope they never figure out their true value. Leave the greens for me. Yeeeees.

Expert Roulette drops help keep my Desynthesis capped (Capped Desynth made me 17mil during 4.0 launch.)
Roulette Gear I can't Desynth is handed in for GC seals. (GC Seals for Relic upgrades and capping Squadrons.)

There's almost nothing I don't Need / Greed on these days. It all contributes to my empire in some form and adds up quickly.

I can't see how it could be taked for granted when there are no substitutes in place. It'd be nice if before I queue something, I could select what kind of rewards I want (like craft mats of a specific type but I digress). Taking it for granted would imply that it could be worse and that alternative could have negative consequences in the game if there's nothing else to properly offset them.

There are tons of things people take for granted on a daily basis, both real and virtual. You usually never truly realize something's value until it's gone.

Good on whoever does realize the value of what they have. Means they know to cherish it while they have it!


P.S. Have a heart-y v-day everyone

I don't bother because I don't log on for long enough to want to clear my inventory constantly, really. And there is nothing really I need the seals or gil for with how I play the game.

If I'll need them at some point, there is nothing stopping me from doing fast, unsynced runs of a dungeon that have minimum amount of progress blocks with a high-AoE class. Even if it'll be worth less, the speed and ease will make up for that where seals are concerned. And I did use desynthesis in this game thrice...so yeah. Don't care about the difference in income between high and low level gear from that.

I used to pass on everything because I didn't realize you could turn in dungeon gear to your GC for seals.

Now I greed on everything. Those seals keep me stocked on ventures which lets me send out my retainers more or they let me buy crafting components for building our FCs submarine (things I can't get by gathering).
