    They've been running these events for 3 years and every year they always rotate the moogle turn ins as a form of grace period. They didn't really do a good job telling people that it was limited and honestly even I didn't believe anyone telling me it was, because that isn't how the event worked. What they should have done if they wanted it to be different is to use a different NPC entirely and not make the items tomestones. It really just comes down to that.
    That's on you. Making an incorrect assumption instead of informing thyself. Anyway, I disagree. It was crystal clear that this wasn't normal. 1. Because it was a month after the last one. 2. Because it was expressly stated to be a fanfest special with different rules (this is the part where 'inform thyself' comes into play). 3. Because even in game the Moogle had a distinctly different mark above it. And 4. Because the tomestone pay out was double what it would usually be.

    As I've said before, at some point it ceases to be an SE issue and starts to be a player issue. At some point you're going to be expected to make an effort to inform yourself through the myriad of channels that SE has ready for you to do such with.

    don't have arguments or just want to be an a**? just call the other person a troll because they dared to use a word that can be constructed as an "insult" and any kind of response to that will make them reiterate the same houlier-than-thou attitude towards the "troll" ad infinitum
    probably some "new" reddit or twitter thing that's been making the rounds there and spilling to the forums now
    I would imagine so. It's why I disengaged, there's no real point continuing with it.

    hey guilty as charged! Didn't ever say I was innocent on that one bit. However, when you set three years precedent and then choose to suddenly change it, and you are hearing news from secondary sources saying otherwise, are you going to believe someone that isn't the primary source? Not like people haven't been burned before that way.
