Petition to SE - Make More Cash Shop Items Account Wide

[TheGrimace]

With the advent of the 2018/2019 Fan Festival Season, SE has released Tifa minions and the SDS Fenrir mount. Once the European and Japanese Fan Fests end, we will also see Cloud and Aerith added as minions to the game. The positive thing about these additions is that they are all account-wide. This is the first time minions sold on the Mog Station have been sold account-wide, and as a result, they are $2 USD more than other minions.

As of Christmas 2018, SE has released another new set of eastern emotes and glamours and, once again, they are single character only. One step forward, two steps back.

To be fair they weren't made for us to begin with, they were intended for the Chinese/Korean market who also have to buy them individually for each character they want them for. They won't make those items account wide for us but then expect the special markets to pay seperately, just no.

I have been given a lot of items as gifts from the store over the years I have been playing and even some I have got myself from the shop, I really dislike the fact that most are not account wide.
I was given the new encyclopedia for xmas and yet again the hat is not account wide....really disheartening

Especially because the minion that came with Vol. 1 was account wide

[Luluna]

ahh yeh I have the first one also I forgot that was account wide...wonder why they changed it

The excuse they have given in the past is that they have limited quantities of keys they can use for account-wide purposes, so they have needed to ration out which items can be account-wide over the past two years since Stormblood was released.

I don't really care for that excuse and I think it's a poor attempt to get them out of developing smarter ways to adjust the Mog Station structure. The Mog Station takes in enough money that it should warrant the importance of development time when its usefulness begins to slack. If they want to use the Mog Station as a source of income, they should put forth the effort to make its services reliable.

In-game Bonus Item Codes

Recently, players have noticed that the in-game bonus codes included with FFXIV-related merchandise have been character-specific rather than being account-wide. The reason is because there is a limit to the number of items that can be distributed service account wide, and it is currently difficult to increase this limit. We’ll continue looking into this moving forward, and will provide an update once we have progress.

This was posted in a Live Letter Digest from January 28 of 2018, and unfortunately we have still not received anymore word on their progress on the matter. I would recommend that someone with access to Yoshida and/or the development team bring this up with them when possible to see if any progress has been made.

I am sure SE will fix with friendly price of 40$ for friendly wide account!

still upsetti about all my seasonal rewards not being account-wide. one of the huge reasons this game isn't alt-friendly is specifically bc of this.

i would love for the armoire and glamour dresser to be accessible account-wide at the very least? we need more space for the dresser that way, of course, but it would be a huuuuuge quality of life improvement for alts. please, square!

IMO anything that isn't a bulk comsumable like fantasias and dyes should be account wide. But that's just my preferences.
