'Oh noes, someone disagrees with me and they won't go away, THEY HAVE TO BE A TROLL!!11'

I'm not even going to bother with the rest of your drivel if you can't even speak to someone in good faith.



While to some degree I can get why you feel that way, I do believe most MMO's don't do such things by design. Events are supposed to be limited time and in nine out of ten cases.. when the event ends, it ends. Making sure you get what you need from the event is kind of something you're supposed to do during the event. Off course normal Moogle Tomestones event did set a different precedence. That was probably why SE went to such lengths to try and make clear that this Tomestone event did not play by the same rules.

It is not on SE when they make every possible effort to give players the means to get the necessary info.. that some players choose not to do so. This is also why I think they won't be changing their mind on this.

I think in regards to the Yo-kai event, and really any sort of third-party "crossover" event, it completely makes sense to say "when it's over, it's OVER". Likely because, from a legal standpoint, they HAVE to, otherwise it's tons of additional work for lots of people.

I think in this case, it feels a little awkward because aside from a fancy little icon, this isn't altogether any different than the usual Moogle tomestone event. Like I said, I don't think it's a huge deal, but there's also no downside to asking to be able to still SPEND those particular tokens, since unlike the crossover stuff, this is just solely FFXIV stuff being sold.

lol says the person telling people to “use their noggin and think” (i.e., calling people dumb). Okay, troll.

Defaulting to calling someone a troll just because they disagree with you is an insult so...that seems a bit hypocritical to me.

Wat lol. I called someone a troll who is effectively calling people dumb and then pretending they aren't. They keep quoting their same previous post where they're effectively doing that. If that is "hypocritical," okay, I guess?

To any argument that the event by its nature being limited time is reason to remove the tomestone rewards: Is it not already a limited event if the method to acquire the items to use to purchase things is no longer available? Giving people a grace period after an event is done to turn in tomestones is something that they already set a precedent for so this is quite strange.

I'm just hoping they don't do this again. Part of what makes FFXIV enjoyable is not feeling rushed into having to do something just to get a reward, and the last few times they did this they stuck to that. This just isn't in the spirit of the game.

Every event has a limited time to get rewards.

This wasn't a moogle event, it was a fanfest event. Every other moogle event was "available until the next patch". This one wasn't. It was ALREADY different in that aspect, even without the limited reward availability.

It was a moogle event linked to the fanfest.

Regardless they should put in something to let people cash out of old tomestones just like any other currency even if it isn't for the original prizes, be it MGP, glamour prisms, or something simple. I'm not just saying this about the current event but just about all the moogle events. It's just easier to manage having some cash out guy at the gold saucer that you can turn in old event items to than to keep a lot of extra vendors around that no one can use.

This argument ignores that they could have used any other vendor than the Moogle vendor with Irregular tomestones and people would have known to not expect the precedent.
They chose to use the Moogle Treasure tag, the vendor, the same acquisition methods (even if tomes were doubled), so it's not a far stretch for most people familiar with Moogle Tomes to expect the late exchange they were used to for previous events.

They could have whipped up a quick Fanfest only vendor and given us Fanfest coins and people wouldn't have expected that.

This is besides the point that asking for a grace period isn't really worth everyone coming in to argue that we don't deserve it for "not reading" when there were any number of things that could have been done to reduce confusion.

1) You were told it was time-limited during the Fanfest broadcast
2) It was on the Login page, available daily
3) It was on the Lodestone webpage, available daily
4) It was told to you in the login window after entering your world, daily
5) You were told in this forum in another post on the last day
6) You completely ignored all of this, on your own behalf

What confusion? That info was there for everyone to read.

Why are you guys still arguing over this? If you want to show Square that you don't like their decisions, stop paying for this game. Everything else will just be ignored by them.
