Gold Saucer mounts - it's been a while

I wish those boxes didn't exist period. I would rather that things remain difficult to obtain no matter how much time passes with the exception of armor/weapons because they quickly get obsolete.

None of those things were difficult to obtain. Just time consuming and/or expensive because of the rarity.

No they weren't (although RNG is a big factor) but the fact remains that they are making it easier to obtain. It would be better in my opinion if they stopped offering things you can obtain one way by another means such as if you can obtain a minion by clearing something, it shouldn't be made available in a moogle scratch thing in the firament or loot boxes. Everytime they do this it devalues whatever they give away. Like take the Copycat bulb. You can get that from a lootbox now instead of Eureka. When retainers bring back craftable loot, then it makes it worse for crafters because right now the market is over saturated with loot and crafted goods. Let's say a table is worth 500k gil, then after the next patch it's worth 200 gil because retainers can now obtain them.

I'm all for doing this for content that is essentially inaccessible (old diadem) but would rather see it moved over to some other challenge. The market is pretty bad right now and it has to do with how easy it is to level omni craft/gather and the freebies that you get from retainers and GC lootboxes is what I'm getting at.

Copycat bulb price hasn't really fallen (on my server) because it's box RNG is as bad as it's eureka RNG.
