Reopen the Moogle Pageantry Store now!!

[Avatre]

I mean, on the first page of these general discussion forums there was(and still is) a post telling people to use them...and TONS of people visit the Lodestone daily. Not making sure you yourself are informed is not the problem of the developers, and demanding stuff because you fail to inform yourself...yeesh

They should leave them up. There really is no reason to take down the pageantry tome stones after the event concluded, it was largely arbitrary and they kept prior exchanges up after the event for the last three times I think. I still got 130 of them and didn't even realize the event was honestly just going to end like that.

And even if you did know that it was going to end, would you honestly agree to have them taken down? Why leave the other ones up, and just take down this one? It's not about whether someone remembered to turn them in or not, it is about the whole goal of having these tomestones up in the first place. If someone went on vacation or got busy in life, then missed the cutoff date, and they had a huge store of tomestones stacked in their inventory they just got burned by the entire system.

And FYI just about every single game in the universe lets you dump the items into something from events after the event ends, or makes the items you get from the event directly usable in some way. WoW had candies you could use during the valentines day events and while that one had chocolate turn ins that didn't do anything, I recall the reward was mostly just getting more expendable items. The pageantry tomestones are like a motherload of time consuming items you can normally get in game at great costs in time. I'd never take the darn thing off for at least two months after the event ended. Maybe give people a week or something afterwards minimum but just leave the turn-in moogle there.

Ah before I forget, if someone uses quick launcher, they probably didn't see anything about the event end being the point where tomestones are now worthless. I barely even come to the lodestone as is, I just came over here because I logged in and noticed the event ended, went to do my usual thing of turning in the tomestones, and they are gone. No warning or anything. Maybe it was in the purple text or something? I don't remember seeing it when logging in and if I did it got buried immediately in the chat log. I mean do we need another Garo train?

Ignoring the ToS on launchers of course, I highly HIGHLY doubt it prevented any player from have access to the chat box. That chat box that, on every single login, stated that the tomes will becomes useless right when the event ends.

If someone was physically incapable of handing in on the last day due to something, then I understand, but most people are pretending like Square didn't make an attempt to warn them, when in reality they literally warned us every day of the event, some days through multiple sources over and over. Square doesn't have any obligation to bring them back, because they fairly made sure everyone got potentially tens, if not hundreds of warnings beforehand.

Honestly I'm just projecting a bit in my post since I was one of those people who got a bit overwhelmed with life recently and wasn't able to make the cut-off. Ignorance is not really a good defense for such a thing, but it does feel like it went against prior years where they kept things up. In my own case I really only knew the event was going through the 14th and wasn't aware of the tomestones going away. I just look at the advertisements for events running and when the end date is, then go off the historic precedent. If it was like this on every tomestone event I really wouldn't have anything to say other than it's my own fault.
