New Mogstore "Supply kit" good will or desperation?

I got this exclusive thanks and I am glad that it's still available for others afterwards tbh.

But for what reason should we pre order the next expansion, if the pre order Bonus Items gets sold in the Shop?

Just so the expansion is bought if you know for certain you're going to play it before even seeing the reviews. That's where consistency is good. We know what we're getting each expansion - bunch of dungeons, trials, 2 extremes, etc. So if you like that then you can just pre-order it.

Also a few days earlier access.

No that is to less to pre order an Expansion. If there is nothing special in it.

Same. I don't own it, since I started playing shortly after Endwalker's launch and missed the pre-order period.

I mean, "exclusive" at the time of release or not, the earring in question is almost three years old now. I mean, for veteran players, does it actually serve any purpose outside of complimenting Glams?
As noted, I don't own it - but since I DO own the Azeyma earring I'm not sure I see much value in purchasing this one (although I do like how well it would lend itself to some of my glams). But I definitely see the value in it for new players.

I mean sure, I don't control what other think lol.

I just wonder what other 'exclusive whatnot' they'll annul next to win people's goodwill appease the crowds.

Okay, so the pre-order item exclusivity is out of the window. What's next, Square? Are you going to let us buy those meister quality work figurine emotes seperately? What about old PvP ranking sets or mounts? No? Fuck it, let's just allow players to buy weapon glams from UCOB, it's 8+ year old content now anyway.
Jokes aside, one thing is certain - no more pre-orders.

This actually has me a little upset.. not the bundle itself, but that earring is supposed to be representative, and special, for people who have supported the game, company, etc. since X expansion.. and they go and make it basically FREE with a fantasia.. on an ACCOUNT WIDE item.. making it exactly like owning the real thing.. Truly makes me question "What is the point in pre-ordering..." in the future, honestly.

I feel the same and its not we had to pay extra for those preorder iteam so I'm not seeing what the issue is. it's not like that earring gave us advance over others that did not pre order other than little increase of exp. and in my case i only could use it for 20 leavels since there where only 2 classes i had that could use them i know there are Alts i have few of them but still.

edit; i did forgot to mention about the level sync and iteam ofc works there for leveling but thats about it..

Edit 2: also its earring is from endwalker so we have had it for 3 years it not like its the Earring from dawntrail preorder

I can't say this is too egregious as the game gives new players a lot of these items during the A Realm Reborn MSQ. It does still reek of F2P/P2W MMO monetisation though and I can't say I'd be a fan of further packs like this being added to the cash store. Only the Aetheryte Tickets are a problem as the Gil you can save is certainly a step towards having something such as the WoW Token in FFXIV. Even then, until the day Square Enix integrates the cash store directly into the game client in the same manner that exists for WoW and other MMOs, you still have to deal with a terrible user experience each time you wish to buy cash store items. As for the earring, it's the Endwalker pre-order bonus being made available in Dawntrail... that's a three year old item at this point and levelling 1-80 is pretty fast these days. They could do far worse things such as making the level 100 boosts and Dawntrail story skip available during 7.x patch cycle rather than waiting until 8.0.

Absolutely agree
