Please return THE FEAST REWARDS dev team! give chance to us new players

[Metricasc]

think it is now a good time to start slowly roll them out given it is much less about being prestigious or a status symbol, but more of the matter of "we done pvp during this time period when it was more niche and harder to queue into", adding a distinction to the original item such as a prefix of "prestige" or "decorated" or adding either "replica" or "tarnished" to buyable variants could generally be a good compromise.

though i would generally argue that they would need to be buyable via wolf collars rather than trophy crystals.

Says you. If it comes back, it should be a top xx ranked reward again.

So the issue here is that there is in-fact people out there with the gear from the past still actually playing, that did/didn't win trade for their gear and love it. What I believe is...that it doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme, and they surely could just re-use the models with different textures as Ranked Red Crystal Trophy Rewards. People of the past still get their treasured and vintage pieces to flex or rep that they went through The Feast, while new players get to play with the wonderful models with new incentive for PvP Ranked than some silly Adventure Portraits and glowy weapons that only people who really like Red would want(and since I don't like red, I have literally no incentive to do Ranked).

Easiest thing to do, they already have done re-textures of sets several upon several times from the dawn of the game, just do that and make everyone happy.

I would love to see all the feast mounts as rewards for wolf marks, but make them cost like 50k wolf marks per mount, so its an semi endless grind

this would give pvp a MASSIVE player boost, which is a much better thing than 100 people crying about their uniqueness. They could even go a step further and make the old mounts to rewards that are tied to Hidden Gorge, so this map wouldnt be dead outside of moogle events

give players a reason to play the game, this solution would be so easy and the benefits would heavily outweight the downsides :c

Wolf Marks (and now crystals for collars) are practically given out like candy now. In the past I would've said 99 wolf collars (back when you got like 3-4 in a season if you hit Platinum or Diamond (I don't exactly remember). That would still be a heck of a grind but it wouldn't be impossible. The problem with that is you'd have people queuing up like they do in Frontline during a Mog tome event where it's just "I don't care if we win or lose as long as we get tomes." I'd genuinely like to earn these things as I'm sure most players would.

Since we:

✖️Can't go back to the old Feast because it got scrapped.
✖️Can't trust that people won't win-trade to get to the top X per data center (it happened in the past, even if YOU played fair, it's still a stain on the whole thing)
✖️Can't trust that people won't employ cheats/hacks to get the rewards (don't know about plugins, I'm on console, but I'm remembering how the Ishgard restoration rankings went)

The only alternatives, IF the dev team were to entertain such an idea, is to either:

1. Tie it to individual achievements like they did the minions (after much pushback from *gasp* the players). This would prevent people and their 10 alts from clogging up the leaderboards. OR
2. Tie it to a difficult-but-not-impossible to get currency that's similar in terms of time/effort invested to get there (commendation crystals).

"But Muh Exclusivitay"

1. The Feast is dead. It's a deleted mode. Tying rewards to a deleted mode isn't exclusivity, it's impossible. It's like saying "Bring back old Diadem" (please don't ever bring back old Diadem)

2. Exclusivity needs to come from challenge, not just challenge + being around at the right time.

3. Diamond rank is already a challenge to get. It takes work and time (and patience, but you don't have to no-life it). This way, not everyone can get it + PVP gets a much-needed boost.

4. "If 'everyone' gets the rewards, I want the 1.0 tattoo. Nothing is sacred." = That was a unique event tied to the very end of the old version of the game. Not just a competitive mode. Why can't we have healthy PVP with items worth working toward, that look cool and are still a challenge to get?

5. "YoshiP said it would stay exclusive." YoshiP also said houses wouldn't expire, that GARO was a one-time thing, that previous exclusive earrings made a comeback (heck you can buy the wolf ones for trophy crystals now and I don't hear anyone raising hell about that).

BTW, prestige is how you earn it, not if someone gets it later.

Key characteristics of an exclusivity item:

Limited Access
Only certain players can obtain it, such as those who participated in an event, preordered a game, or belong to a specific in game faction or group.

Time Restricted
Available only during a particular event, patch, or promotion.

Prestige or Rarity
Often cosmetic (skins, mounts, housing items) or functional (weapons, gear) that signify achievement, loyalty, or early participation.

Non-Repeatable
Once missed, it may never return, or returning might require special circumstances.

I don’t think rewards should be handed out like candy.
It would make sense if old Feast rewards were only available to the top 10 players in ranked Crystal Conflict, that would make sense since it preserves exclusivity and truly rewards skill.

[Valence]

Feast rewards were a lot easier to get than top 10: except the housing trophy for the top player, the mounts/armor were top 100.

[Commander_Justitia]

Being in top100 = winner.
Not being in top100 = loser.
Deal with it.

Idc about new players wanting it, too bad.
You are entitled to nothing. Game having rare items is actually = good. Everyone having same items = bad. I know it is a hard concept to accept for the communists here.

You could as well say play Mahjong or Minion Battles to get these rewards, because they are more challenging and skillbased than CC.

I think people who disagree are just scared because we are thousand times better than them. I bet our achievements are also thousand times superior to them. plus, we are more active than those top 100 people who don't play or quit already. I've never seen one who wears hell hound armor or mounts. same as the shadow stalker and shadow cleaver.

The feast was a failed content. and full of WIN TRADES which is why they deleted it and never continued it.
that is why they should bring back those rewards in NPC using "wolf collars" currency like the hellhound weapons. this will avoid win trading and match manipulations. I feel so sorry to those who paid a lot just to be on top 100
every one of us are entitled to request and share ideas. this idea is not being communist; it is by helping the game and content to be alive again
������
and if they want the top 1-10 feast furniture trophies SE can always bring them back in ranked match every season.
the Season 1-20 rewards should be purchased by CC currency or wolf collars.
