White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

[Kaurhz]

why not make a new aniversary earring? Why choose this one that carries a certain value in the eyes of the legacy?

it's just a test ! Legacy chocobo, and legacy tatoo on the way for soon.

You just answered your own question. Because it holds significant value to the people of people that have supported this game since day 1, and the game itself. Again, you should feel happy and quite frankly lifted that the game is celebrating what you participated in.

"Hold on let me just make up an earring that holds no apparent value, and celebrate it"

If you get a Feast Trophy and some years later they give them out for nothing, you'd have every right to complain.
If they start handing out UwU weapons, not replicas but the same weapons, just for an event, you'd be right to be upset.

It's not equivilant to nerfing old content.

It was obviously a joke. Gotta try harder i guess.

Just said that because people are making a fuss over this ^^

I wouldn't call this drama. It a bunch of people crying salt over a set of earrings ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m actually a bit upset at this event! Who really wants “earrings” as a glamour reward for an event?!
Especially “ugly” ones like these ones....

Regarding the “snowflake” entitlement I couldn’t care less! In this game for a very long time now, a difficult mount to get, difficult piece of armour loses its “exclusiveness” in a short period of time as content keeps getting updated quickly. I kind of understand the legacy players, but I would be upset if they put it on mogstation. At least you can get it playing the game.

Still though, earrings?! Really?!

:P

Cirina minion, and the orchestra roll immediately negates everything else \o/

You mean exactly like these situations would generally be handled having something commemorative representing it? They could've made a Dalamud mount or practically anything else with no problem.

Yes they could have gone with several different things, Wind-Up Nael comes to mind. I just don't see the issue with commemorating it with these earrings. Now if they sold it on Mogstation a year later that'd be something different entirely IMO.

I already linked to the posts from the team themselves why its a problem on page 19. This is what they were telling players that were currently paying a subscription. Get these items if you want them because they're not coming back. They already bent the rules with the Laurel Goobbue. Now they're just outright breaking their word. I wouldn't be surprised if it did end up on the store after either.

No, I didn't get the earrings because I mostly played Miner when I was on and shifted back to whatever else I was doing because you couldn't play for more than an hour before hitting forced failures. I'm also not envious someone else did. I wanted a large house which took until Shirogane to get.

Thankfully we know that will never happen. The main reason on this is that Ultimate weapons exist in content that isn't on a time limit (and actually have stats and three materia slots, so it would fall into P2W-kinda territory). The earring is from something that no longer exists and was transformed into nothing more than a cosmetic item (+3 Slashing Resistance or something) as of ARR's release.

The Rising is never about the rewards, but the things SE may tease (it allows them to break the 4th wall). It's currently the only Seasonal Event in FFXIV that Ipay attention to (the rest I skip cutscenes, get the reward and then never touch again).
Last year we got two minions, two orchestrion rolls, the dyed bladder of an animal to dazzle us and "sparkler" items.
