Just another case of "they cant get it right" - no Nier-crossover: People are asking for one... giving us Nier-crossover: People see this as indication of them being out of ideas...
Well it is. Think Yoshi-P stated (might have been in a LL pre-shb or a Q&A after) that there was so many requests for Nier glam and weapons etc and a crossover they felt hey couldn't do it justice via a normal XV style crossover event so decided to make it a much more meaty thing and give it to the alliance raid instead. Just read the Nier Corssover thread from ages ago (it's probably quite a way back now in the forum history) but people had made entire glam sets for all roles and pod minions and wanted other content like music and good nier based story...that's a lot for a quick crossover. So they done the next best thing due to demand and now we get that, people moan.

But it's not for everyone and we have just had an entire expansion drop with original content in it. So what's an alliance raid that's optional to a few others.
