Bozja and Eureka replayability hurt

[tsuchii]

Why dump all the "rare" and "obtainable" items from Bozja and Eureka in Occult Crescent? And not just dump, it's given away like candy during Halloween?
This basically kills a LOT of replayability for Bozja and Eureka.
Other than relics, Eureka was a great way to earn money from rare items. Other than relics, Bozja is profitable by farming clusters and selling the stuff for gil. Why take that away? It will drive away players from these older content as if it isn't a problem already.

I think some of the items are okay for it, but it's bizzare that they put the rare mount from DR in there and the raptor from Dal.

I wish they wouldn't, but they've always done it. We also have the Heavensward and Stormblood grand company coffers that give all the mounts and minions from those expansions, and Bozja itself I recall gave away old rewards in the same way via its coffers.

That's forgivable considering how low the drop rate is.
With OC, it's like given away

I found it extremely unusual tbh and I don't appreciate it.

edit- Have audited the game closer and have realised my initial conclusion here was inaccurate- the game is 100% going through another realm reborning (likely with 8.0) and this is why corners have been cut on lots of things to save dev time (including forked tower being inside OC zone, and also including the glam loot giveaways). Look closer at all the pieces of the puzzle of what's going on with the game, inside and outside of it, and you may see it also. Mine apologies devs.

I thought I was the only one annoyed about this. I have a lot of fun in Bozja and didn't mind the income from it. The moment I saw stuff now available in OC, I knew the market for all of that was crashing.

I think a disgruntled employee has done this to tarnish a bunch of the most critical pieces of content in the game all at once.

"Occult Crescent was an inside job" wasn't in my bingo card for this patch, ngl...

The increased rewards monkeys paw. Garbage dump a bunch of old glams and take out incentives from Eureka and Bozja.

Why arent all the new buyable glams in the coffers instead? Why isnt the new store mount and wardens attire in the coffers? (Rhetorical)

Incidentally, some of the content from Eureka and Bozja that gave those rewards is "Discord group only"

Dal should be manageable with 5, probably 2-3 if sweaty (dinoichyus mount). Hydatos and pyros bunnies are available from when you enter the zone and as long as you do the fate you should have the opportunity to get a bunny and get the bronz/silver/gold chest it leads to (eurekan petrel and eldthurs). Pagos coffers are thrown at you for completing nms (Pagos wrap set, the other Pagos set). I don’t believe conditional virtue/zanetsuken glamours are drops in OC which are the only BA/discordy eureka drops I can think of, similarly DR(n) is something you can put up a pf for and usually get 4 others for the big echo and clear with few issues (early to rise, gold Gabriel). The majority of the other glamours that have crashes are from storm blood and shadowbringers maps (south seas, rain, quaint/boullevardier, rebel, fibreglass, ala mhigan).

Most of the damage is to old map loot and “immersion” - what reason does explicitly Pagos/eurekan gear have to be in Bermuda Triangle etc). The lack of carrots strikes me as particularly weird especially since both of the carrot chests I did gave me 3 piety materia and a ribbon prism. The guaranteed portal/moogle maps seemed to be doing a good enough job at keeping the market supplied with material while not crashing it entirely, with the gc lootckboxes possibly supplying just a few too many minions. It doesn’t seem like it’s the intended outcome, but we’ll have to see if they comment on this.

I’d like gold/silver to come in the boxes personally, random 100-300 seems pretty fair.
