Dev blog: New Feast rewards

[DracotheDragon]

Or maybe not. I dont see why you should be able to buy something for tokens that people had to compete for why bother competing at all if they'll just give it to you anyway. You wont see that happen as hard as SE is trying to make feast into an Esport.
Instead of just giving away something that people worked hard for why not add rewards like these to be something you could buy with wolf collars you know the things you get as a consolation prize for actually competing?

Making it more obtainable than 100 people ever seems to be a good idea but the idea that someone could be walking around with the lone wolf coat without EVER setting foot in PvP? its ridiculous things like this are a status symbol the same way meteor survivor marks are do you think we should put those in the achievement shop as well?

lets go part by part.

'Or maybe not. I dont see why you should be able to buy something for tokens that people had to compete for why bother competing at all if they'll just give it to you anyway.'

Thus the exclusive colouring or lighting effect to make the item stand out, as well as a couple 2 to 3 patches i.e almost a year of exclusivity to that player, the reward a mount no-one will have that is 100% identacle, with 1 whole year of them being just solely for the top 100 people who may not ever use said mount.

as point in eveadance for this i said the fan festival mog outfit, a exclusive item that was then sold to the masses, the difference and compromise can be that the bought one can be made 1 per person while the reward is account wide.

i can also add, why bother doing A12s o4s o8s why bother with raids, when you get better gear why bother collecting mounts when you could get them later, this argument doesn't hold as much with other content so why pvp, when people can basically complete the requirements at the very start or though non legitimate means, and get rewarded, with a reward revealed FAR later when the content is no longer available to most.

'You wont see that happen as hard as SE is trying to make feast into an Esport.'

this is SE's mistake for trying to tag a 'esport' type of thing into a game that it isn't made for that genre, and for it being a e-sport i don't see any 'professional' and corporate sponsored gamers saying they play this as there esport profession , and i doubt those in the top 100 are 'professionals' please note the quotation, as i mean this in the sense of a job and not i play 12+ hours


'Instead of just giving away something that people worked hard for why not add rewards like these to be something you could buy with wolf collars you know the things you get as a consolation prize for actually competing?'

this part i agree with you, but in this your agree with me to a sense, of allowing other people the ability to gain the mounts though other means, while yes mine is for achievement tokens yours is for wolf tokens, which everyone can get, a good compromise to which i can agree with.

'Making it more obtainable than 100 people ever seems to be a good idea but the idea that someone could be walking around with the lone wolf coat without EVER setting foot in PvP?'

with this i point to your idea of the wolf collars but this time that is an option, and the difference between them, is shown between the sets, the one given to people for free look and dye differently to the ones bought, and a even more basic one can be given to everyone, my evidence for this will be the GARO set, that was gained via MGP, by this argument SE should of never of implemented the glamour set from the MGP,

'its ridiculous things like this are a status symbol the same way meteor survivor marks are do you think we should put those in the achievement shop as well?'

this is not what i was discussing, and i don't like the taste of straw that much, there is a difference between a small mark on the character and a mount, the Metior survivor mark while others may want it is just a tattoo. to be honest i would be happy if they implemented tattoos for players in that sense, not the meteor survivor one.

Meanwhile, armor concept rewards were never made widely available. Give it up, SE is perfectly fine with rewarding people for having talent/skill

mounts minions other armour concepts egi's have been put in the game and done by NPCs that are not given to the players your point if i may ask?

you had me until 'SE is perfectly fine with rewarding people for having talent/skill' check reddit or the fourms and you hear people complaining about premades win-trading and other means that 'talent/skill' can be incorrect, but allow me to say it in this way

the dreadwyrm armours were exclusive to raids and SE was perfectly fine with keeping it that way, then they added the crafted ones. SE was perfectly fine with the kimaru coat being for bard then they made a crafted one for all classes, SE was perfectly fine with the Mog Outfit being exclusive to fan festivals then they sold it on the store, SE was perfectly fine with people not wanting to wear NPC outfits, and then they came on the Mog store. SE was perfectly fine with people NOT getting the previous event items if they missed it, then they were on the mogstore

what this is saying is simple, SE have been 'perfectly fine' with a lot of things, and then they changed there minds.
