The new very cool Aulus Mal Asina Mount!

Yeah I'm not a fan of super exclusive items only avaliable to a tiny fraction of the playerbase, Feast is dead whenever I queue for it so its not an option to just go play and try and earn it.

Removing exclusive rewards isn't going to help make it less dead. I've never had a single iota of desire to play Feast, but I don't begrudge them trying to lure people in with cosmetic items.

Overwatch is one of the biggest PvP orientated games to launch in recent years. The developers stated outright that adding exclusive rewards to PvP was a bad call. A ranking system alone is enough.

Remember the Garo crossover event? A lot of people got into PvP and things were very active for quite some time as even casual players worked towards acquiring the rewards. Feast would be enjoy a similar activity boost if everyone could get the new mount or gear set simply by winning, say, one hundred matches over the course of a season.

I like Feast, but I wish they would, in time, give us alternate ways to attain mounts. They can be recolored so they differ from the Feast version. Even previous mounts only available to savage raiders can be gotten in time as our levels increase.

Feast is like danging a carrot in front of someone, and when they reach for it, beating them with a stick that's full of rusted nails...and on fire.

I'm honestly surprised they kept that in the rewards, there were threads asking them to change it in all the regions.

Yea I wish, but i ones ask this, and PvP player eat me alive. "no, you PVE player have all of mount" no like you can't get it if you tray to farm.

{Same}. I don't even care if they leave it in PVP but Feast has such a poor reception from the community, they could always tie it to achievements like # of kills or assists like the minions are.

If they release it in mog station and you buy it, it will only give them more incentive to do this.

Fairly hard. Which is why the lack of a proper chat function is so frustrating. When I play Overwatch, I tend to slip into the 'commander' role and offer guidance and propose plans to my team. It works out well often - sometimes tunnel vision is shattered and people begin playing more effectively. In FFXIV, however, I can't chat in real time - I have to rely on predetermined buttons that don't often convey the nuances of what can turn a game around. Worse yet, I've made a lot of friends in Overwatch simply by being able to chat properly. That isn't possible in FFXIV.

Maybe they need to allow in team chat, as long as they don't allow you to chat with the other team, like in frontlines or rival wings.

That is what we used to have and they removed it.

They still could make them exclusive rewards. Some nice trophys, great looking glamour or even just awesome titles should imo be enough as a reward for those that truly want to play this. IMO if you truly love it and do it for the competition than being in the highest ranks should be main factor and some rewards just the extra on top of that. Putting mounts in there that were requested by a lot of none PVPers (hellhounds) or that are part of the MSQ (the chair) is just a bad move..I mean only a really small amount of people will get that. Together with no rank decay and cheaters in some of those places it really does not motivate me to even try.

Heck why is it fine that the hardest content in this game (Bahamut Ultimate) has only recolored weapons while PVP which is kinda a niche in a PVE game gets all those exclusive items? I mean we cant forget that there also quite some mounts and pets behind PVP achievements. If those are not enough to draw people in to play this..than maybe it should just stay a niche in this game. (And I kinda believe that a lot of PVPers are probably quite happy if only those play it that want to do it seriously)
