So...gonna re-release previous PvP series rewards for crystals or NOT?

[GTK0HLK]

There's Rewards for partaking in content, and there's rewards for being forced to partake content.

And then there's Rewards for being forced to take part in the content in a limited time window where only a few people will actually get a chance at obtaining it. Most of which are alts, WinTraders, and minority of actually determined players who earned it.

Nothing wrong with the Rewards being only obtainable from Trophy Crystals and Wolfmarks.

It's just an extra bonus for partaking in PVP.

As with all Content and Gamemodes, The Main Priority of it, is to be fun, or enticing enough for those who like winning against other players. (Which for the more extreme of those players, the title and Seasonal Numbers is the Memory that counts. <though personally, I would change the seasonal number to how many times you've reached a tier, rather than the season you won. That way those with a Higher Tier Number would be more impressive than just a clone copy for having reached a tier during a time of play.> XIV Platinum/Diamond/Crystal Tiers is much more impressive that simply reaching that tier during Season XIV)

But back to Rewards, I see no reason for it to be tradeable or sellable.

All it does is incentivize those see the game as a marketboard minigame, It isn't.

Just like Certain new content will have issues when it dries out.

The focus should be on the content and the enjoyment. and The Rewards should match the content as well.

Once again, Feast rewards was never promised to return.

Series rewards were promised to return. Then When? 8.0? 10.0?

Clearly it'll be for Endwalker's 14th birthday.

Let's be honest, if they bring back series rewards, might as well also bring back those older sets that nobody has anymore, even in recolors.

Small indy company that can't even code a vendor.

Once again, a promise isn't indicative of a denial.

And at a certain point you have to stop caring what others desire for it to stay that way for it to grow and evolve.

Games already decade old, if it won't change with people asking for half-measures or adjustments.

Then it'll have to be with Full Exact item codes and No-Replica Names.

It would also save them money and space with reusing assets. Some items may have been discarded and missed by players who had been around that time.

It isn't just for players of today to enjoy.

It's also such mixed messaging. Veteran rewards used to be a thing for people that subscribed for a longer period of time. Years later they just discontinued that entirely and made them all available to purchase with Achievement points. I guess it's okay to screw over people that subbed a long time, but not screw over PvP Feast win-traders. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(as someone that actually earned the veteran rewards way back when the OG way, I don't CARE that it's easier to get them, just using it as a similar example for "diminishing value" of an older item and ignoring FOMO)

They discontinued the veteran rewards because there were people who were like "I don't want to have to sub for 4 years to get the Leonhard outfit, I want it now". Probably only to use it once and/or never play the game again a month after they have the outfit immediately.

I'm new to the game and I don't quite understand.
Will the old PvP rewards come back or not?
I thought it was a rumor, but apparently they announced it and there hasn't been any news since?

It was part of the official announcement of the current reward system, which was implemented a little under 3 years ago. They have said nothing about rewards becoming available for trophy crystals since that live letter.
