    As someone who has won 6 in game contests so far, I don't mind this at all.

    I have Bluebird earring, ahriman choker, mandragora choker, scarf of wondrous wit and the noble barding on my main. I got a 2nd mandragora choker on my alt.

    I'm using noble barding on my main's choco atm just because I won it, but the only other two prizes I really ever glam are the two chokers. I'd possibly use the scarf more if it was dyeable... but it isn't so...

    At any rate, I'd much prefer the option to buy the old contest items on my alts vs winning more contests. Especially if that meant they were gonna flush out the old prizes to roll in some new options. Even if it's just a period of exclusivity.

    It's been a few years. I believe that people who couldn't win every contest also deserve a chance at obtaining some of those items?
    Especially for larger contests where SE favors their JP playerbase anyways and there's always more JP entries picked for finalists than NA/EU.

    Honestly, I don't see myself buying anything except maybe the torches....the earrings and scarf is kinda "meh".

    Well, to be fair, it doesn't costs you a thing to enter the contests besides effort so technically, you're still getting something for free if you win or if you just outright pay the low gil fee for said scarf now. It's free either way, it's not costing you any additional fees.

    So when do they add the feature to spend 50 gil to finish a raid? And those hairstyles and emotes locked behind HoH? When can I buy those for next to nothing.

    EDIT: Plus, 1.0 items are no longer obtainable at all, meanwhile contest items can still be won. There's a difference between being exclusive and unobtainable.
    I love the mental gymnastics at work here. This would be adorable if it wasn't so transparent.

    Maybe if the community had banded together before, when other exclusives were being stripped, you wouldn't be in this position now? But that wasn't the case before, and won't be the case now. Your thread will be filled to the brim with people telling you to get over it, same as every thread before - White Ravens or otherwise.


    I'm against this just as much as I was against giving away the White Ravens, or reusing the Zodiac Relic models, or whatever. Not gonna waste a lot of time rallying the cause though since 1) the community's going to do what I said, and 2) Square's not going to care (or respond, probably). They ain't gonna make it a replica, either. You've got even less time than the White Ravens crew had.

    Something we as a playerbase should just accept now...
    To accept that *NOTHING*, and I do mean *NOTHING* , in this game will ever retain any amount of value over time.

    Do expect for the rest of the 1.0 items to be made available? Yes, the legacy mark, Chocobo and Goobbue.

    Feast rewards? I expect to see them made available to everyone too.

    Bluebird earring? Gaelicap? You guessed, given out to everyone.

    Unsynced UwU? You betcha!!

    For the record, I dislike this, but they have been marching down this path for a while now.

    They have removed exclusivity on:
    1.0 seasonal event rewards
    1.0 achievement rewards
    1.0 Seventh Umbral Storyline rewards
    Original Fanfest rewards
    Contest rewards

    There is no reason to think that they will simply stop there.

    Now you're just being silly. I have hard time to even take you serious.

    Why do you expect them to not make other things available too?

    Oh I'm sure they are but I also don't really give a damn if they do. Nothing stay exclusive in a mmo, unless you're blizzard.


    But i never see them handing out Ultimate weapons nor unsync it, legacy status or tied items such as mounts. People need to understand the Raven Earrings was a "raid" reward while tattoo, chocobo and Goobbue mount was all legacy status items.

    I am of the thought that everyone should be able to enjoy all things in the game at some point or another. Digital exclusivity doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me but I am from a different era of folks. This happened before and will continue to happen.

    Sigh.

    The mark of the twelve, was not from the legacy campaign. It was only from creating a character in 1.0. That’s it.
    The Legacy Goobbue was from a quest, it was not part of the legacy campaign either.

    Only the Chocobo and the reduced sub were from the campaign.

    I should know, I have all of them. I also had the “raid” earrings too.

    Isn’t UwU only a “raid”?

    I do not see them giving out legacy sub or the merchandise items as those would directly cost SE money while the others can make them money.

    And there's nothing wrong with making them available. It's all digital anyway, nothing is permanent. Put away your pride.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
