My point with FOMO is having a 9-5, 1 hour or 2 max of playtime, whether armors are top 100-300? rewards or not, trying to get to crystal rank, the items for augmented hellhound weapons, means you'll never be able to acquire them, since it dies now after the first 2 weeks of the season for bronze to gold/plat(maybe). Again reserved for those who don't care for them, as I've visited many twitch streamers and none of them sport them or promote them. I personally I don't believe any of the armors or weapons should be locked behind ranked but I understand, it's the only way to also show off your greatness at being top ranked in pvp. Fine! I Get it, AFK in Limsa in cool ranked PvP armor.
So here's my solution to attempt to make all happy.
For top 500?, 300, 100, 2nd and 1st ranked - Minion, Mount, Fashion Accessory, Title, Chocobo Barding, Achievement, Portrait, Plate background, Ranked Currency for your armor. The top pvp'ers get it much much earlier. (This should be a thing EVERY pvp season btw) Small Different looks from top 300, top 100, 2nd and 1st ranked? I guess.
For us casuals and bronze league heroes like myself, we get none of the extra rewards - Only the armor which would be available and only purchasable at the next season (maybe a slight color swap, or different name), since I tried and I'll never see crystal rank with my limited time, the armor coffer or each piece separately (Im insane for glam) costs 20000 + 20000 wolf marks + malmstone crystals & same for 1 of the items for the augmented hellhound.
It lets the heavy pvpers get all they want, with incentives, and the filthy casuals to work and grind for it and only available for the next seasons. This would be my fix to "what's the point"
Hopefully instead of "misinformed rant" here's me yapping of a solution. Hope, Cope, Fomo.
TLDR:
I work too much
I tried so hard, in the end doesn't matter
I want cool things too
I'm a filthy casual
