Moonfaire - The Ranger Pose Emotes really should've been an earnable reward

[Arzalis]

I don't think they'd do that, just do to the fact that they've never given people previous year(s) items in any single event they've ever done. They won't change anything about it if they know people will just buy items they missed in the shop.

They actually used to.

The second moonfire faire gave the first's items on the vendor for something like 300 gil. Then they realized they can make money with kind of shallow reasoning and haven't done it since.

It would be stupid easy for them to just put the prior year's rewards on a vendor, whether it be for gil or for some token gotten from a fate or whatever, but they just don't. They know suckers will buy it from the mogstation regardless.

Honestly, and this is hardly 1) a new idea and 2) mine, buuuut:

They should just straight up allow a certain amount of Achievement Certificates (Vet Tokens) to purchase Mogstation things. Even if the exchange rate was like 10 Crysta/cents/yen per token, it'd be better than literally nothing to use them with. And it would allow newer players access to things from past events while not just letting them have everything.

I just checked; I have 218 "Achievement Certificates" and own/have every single thing listed. If they did the 10 cents to 1 token, I'd still only have like $20. That's not a LOT for the 10ish years of play, but it's also better than (Again) nothing at all.

I'd agree, on the condition that they make both achievements and all Mog Station items account-wide. Otherwise we'd have people botting alts through the MSQ to farm achievement points for the dyes that can be resold on the marketboard for easy gil.

Or just exclude the dyes. One or the other.

Alternatively: Anything purchased with certificates has Untradeable + Market Prohibited on it by default. Problem solved.

The first and 2nd moofire fairies only did that because there were actually two fairies in 1.0, with different rewards. So the first two events in 2.0 gave the 1.0 rewards as well as new ones.



After the 1.0 rewards were exhausted, they stopped doing that.

You're kind of proving my point. There's no reason they can't do it. They just choose to milk the playerbase for money instead.

For a game who's director says "You can play other games!" there's a lot of FOMO in this one. It's only going to get worse, too.

Unfortunately because they have monetized prior years' rewards, this will probably never happen. There would be too much complaining / demands for refunds from those who purchased these on the MogStations.

Nothing is truly free - either you paid for a sub that year, or you pay for the items as optional MogStation content later.

I do prefer when games let you earn prior years' rewards from their seasonal events though. They could have had earnable currency from an event Fate or the minigame to buy things we missed.
