Legacy Solution

[Rizon]

The requirements for Legacy Status were published well in advance. People were given ample time to comply with those requirements. Cut off date for compliance was also posted well in advance. I know this may sound cold but with all that I have no sympathy for those who decided not to qualify at the time. It was their choice. They must live with it.

Cut off date wasnt properly posted to the main source of information (the dedicated tab on the lodestone).

Though legacy itself (posted on the lodestone) has been up for a while. For those who knew and didnt want to partake I have no feelings. But for those who found out through the main page and then SE cuts off october before updating the main page to tell those about it, it is kind of slighted action. But those affected by that particular case are probably like 5 people.. At least thats how many appeared on the forums around the time SE did that.

There is no "solution" because there is no such thing as "the legacy issue".

It was. People were just lacking English/reading comprehension skills, as usual.

It was factually not. The tab was only updated once it was too late for those who read the tab and joined because of it.

There were updates on the lodestone but they scrolled down the list in history - never was this information appended to the main tab which never moved until it was - too - late.

So.. no people didnt lack english/reading comprehension skills.

Yeah, that's why there were 329324 threads by people asking if they were too late to get legacy... or arguing about what "cumulative" meant, right? I don't think so.

People genuinely interested in legacy followed the campaign on the lodestone, and all the info was also supplied in the promotional mail sent to attract more people. If those people were really interested, they'd get legacy as well.

All the history posts were linked at the bottom of the legacy campaign page, so all they had to do was to click on a link and read. If they didn't, it's their own fault.

You shouldnt expect people to go into the forums to "check" if they can get legacy. Keeping in mind that people coming from the outside wouldnt have an account to login to the forums in the first place.

Its not someones fault for not dredging history when there is clearly a tab on the left hand side with information on legacy.

At no point on the tab does it say "please look else were for more information" the logical idea is that a company put all the infromation in one place. Obviously SE didnt pick the logical route, until too late.


AS they did update their page - but not with enough warning.

But like I said I dont think many people fit into this case, most were people who just werent interested and knew about it.

just for the sake of it, you don't need an account to read the forums, only to post. However the links were to older lodestone issues, and they can very well expect people to read those. They offered us a campaign as a thank you for our loyalty. A little initiative to get the information is of course expected.

But like I said I dont think many people fit into this case, most were people who just werent interested and knew about it.

Most likely. That's why the whole discussion here won't be leading anywhere... And should die in a fire.

Not only the above, but it was posted on many external websites such as IGN, Kotaku, Siliconera, 1up and more.

There honestly is no reason to be mad about this unless you don't have a PC and the PS3 was the only option.
