Dev blog: New Feast rewards

[Bourne_Endeavor]

As far as I am aware, Ultimate is ilvl sync'ed. So you won't see people steamrolling through said content ;]

And yet you only receive a title not a mount. Per my preceding post, the devs specifically mentioned it being unfair to have a mount or minion the overwhelming majority of players wouldn't be able to obtain. So... really, you're only proving my point.

Also with you claiming false equivalence based on the fact that 2.0 and beyond is is a different version of the same game, I can claim you are wrongly comparing PVP and PVE in the same category. They aren't the same, so why should you be allowed to make comparisons but we aren't? More like you don't really have a good counterpoint and resort to dismissive gestures than try and articulate yourself.

No, you cannot. PvP is still apart of FFXIV: A Realm Reborn. Until 4.0, it even used the exact same abilities. You're essentially trying to liken PvP to an entirely different game, which just outright silly. You keep insisting I am directly comparing gameplay but I have repeated pointed to their respective reward structures. I even provided a PvP example with LoV—something you blatantly ignored. Sounds as though you're the one unable to articulate a proper counterpart.

Also what makes mounts somehow not a reward for talent and skill while a trophy is? They both serve the same purpose in rewarding people for their skill and effort. There is no difference, somehow you think there is.

To your last point, Ranked Feast does not offer weapons to the top 100 while Ultimate does. Why does ultimate get a weapon and not top 100 in Feast??? As you can see I can do the exact same thing back to you lol.

For the same reason you insist PvP should be viewed separately. By that logic, why have rewards that primarily cater to PvE centric players (mounts) in lieu of a unique reward for Feast? After all, you keep claiming they should be separated yet the mounts being awarded were lifted from PvE content; Hellhound from Void Ark and this current one the second boss of Ala Mhigo. You know, the last dungeon in Stormblood's main story.

You can... and fail spectacularly at doing it. You literally just defeated your own argument. Ultimate weapons aren't exclusive, which is the whole point. I can get them whenever I fancy, provided I have the skill to beat Ultimate. This comparison only works if those weapons must be obtained before 4.2 or become lost forever.

Swing and a miss~
