So did i hear correctly? Old "THE FEAST" Top 100 Rewards will become available again?

[Titor]

Everyone complaining about wintraders- where are your sources? Did you actively participate in the Feast season and witness it first hand? Are you just echoing what you have heard with no proof?
If you have evidence of wintraders, please report them to the special task force so they can be banned and dealt with. Blanket accusations are not only baseless but make the argument look rather weak.
A few do exist, yes, but I would say it's less than 5% of the Feast population. And of those, there have been quite a few bans. So please, if you know of anyone directly that cheated and have proof, please PLEASE report them so they can be dealt with by SE!

Yes, please! There's a certain outfit I always loved for my WoL, but I always disliked the Feast. I hope it can be obtained now.

[Sigiria]

i guess it is only a matter of time till 1.0 Items are given away too since we now go the route to eliminate anything Special.

You mean like the chocobo or the gobbue? Because guess what's the first thing they did after releasing the tribes quests in ARR?

Them giving access to content that currently only benefit litterally 0.1% of the players don't take away the achievement of ranking in the top 100 of the feast.
The same way them giving away a reskinned gobbue mount didn't take away the experience of being part of the 1.0

Why do you care if other people get the mounts or the gears? It's not like they're taking yours away. If the "value" you speak of is how miserable it makes other people by not having access to it thanks to an arbitrary limitation then it's a pretty pathetic value to begin with.

It's a good thing, pvp rewards are invaluable.
In the way their value is 0 and can be higher than 0.

Pvp needs way too much investment or to win trade for it.
One of my friends managed to get the 99 spot but they were not working IRL during the whole season and queue'd as much as possible.

[NorthernLadMSP]

PVP is good. I get matches all the time, for the most part.

It actually is more fun than 99% of other content. It's not for everyone though.

Spot on. One of the few reasons I'm still playing this game.

Top 100 in a dead game mode is an extremely small fraction of the playerbase and the leaderboards were littered with win-traders. We're talking far, far smaller than Ultimate clear rate, which isn't time limited either. They've been putting developer resources and making some rather nice looking rewards that the majority of the playerbase would never get to enjoy.

From Zodiark, and telling about wintraders? on Light and Chaos almost 0 (maybe 1-2) wintraders at all, with very very large active players at first week's of season. So no, its not dead game mode.
People who shouts about "DEAD MODE" or "WIN-TRADERS" scare people away from pretty good pvp mode.

If this is true then good. I'll finally be able to wear armor as a caster and healer.

[Krokov]

The death of timed rewards is a good thing. I'm glad they are bringing a stop to it and making previously unavailable timed rewards available again. FOMO is a stupid, toxic system that needs to die.

Hopefully they'll be able to bring back the Garo collab too, though that one is more of a licensing issue, so I'll understand if they can't.

Dumb question but what is FOMO?

[Ryaz]

Sadly, it's a human thing. People are always looking for ways to show themselves superior to others. They feel that by allowing people to acquire their limited gear, even much later down the road, somehow devalues their accomplishments. It doesn't, but the human ego is fragile.

@Krokov: FOMO is an acronym for "Fear Of Missing Out". It's a strategy used by a lot of MMOs to keep players subbed and playing their game only- the thought of missing something cool or not being able to participate in content because you aren't always playing the game. It's one of biggest criticisms leveled against games like WoW and Destiny 2.

Sounds very exciting!
