Aetheryte Ticket - Useless

[Rubieus]

You realize at this moment, your avatar is wearing the Gambler's Crown achievement hat right?
You had to log off wearing it for it to show up. It's a vanity item, so it's not like you'd wear it cause you needed it to dps or something. :P

I am now concerned that you have missed the point entirely. I am not upset that vanity items are being gifted or that the devs are spending their time on pets, mounts and other things. I am merely statong that I am not one of those who find that I must, shall we say, catch'em all. What I am merely pointing out is the outrageous entitled behaviour some of these players have who think just because they subscribe, that they should get whatever they want. Free is free. Say thank you for it and appreciate it.

As for my hat, its not a vanity item. It increases SB. Practical.. and cool looking.

Missing the point? You just restated what you said.
About entitled behavior, sure, entitlement is ridiculous. I don't think I ever said anything about that though... Are you saying that's what I'm saying?
*My point*, was that the community likes the fluff items and so did you apparently. (Is that a unfair statement? Yes you said you don't want all of them, who does really?)

We each have a few of those fluff items that catch our eye when offered. That is their intended purpose, to catch our eye. It's not ungrateful to say like "Hey, this item could be so much better *this* way". They want us to want those items. They are reasons we attempt some of the feats this game sets up for us to do.

But if you were referring to a rude tone in which it was said. Maybe, then, sure, I'd agree, that's impolite and unnecessary. People should be grateful to people that make luxury items. We don't *need* things like fancy cars. It's not wrong to talk about better type of fancy car we'd like to see built. Pretty sure a car company wants us to buy the next fancy car, so likely they will listen. But yes, we should be nice about it, otherwise it's pointless, the message is often lost.

Regarding vanity items though being free: They are a incentive. How many people bought the collectors edition for the mount? I mean, sure it's not like achievement vanity items are necessarily a reason someone buys the game. It is a *incentive* to play it. It's a perk. Sure, they don't have to make it. I don't give special thank you's just for vanity items. It's all part of the big thank you and pat on the back I give for the game as a whole. I don't pro-rate thank you's!

Missing the point?

The message was not directed towards anyone in particular, if you felt that it meant something to you than take it as it is. A statement. Regardless of whether or not vanity items are your bag. I was directing my comment to players who are upset because they didn't like their free stuff, and that they would rather have this other thing instead. It's free. Complaining only discourages more free stuff.

You may call it an incentive, or a perk but I bought it because I wanted to show my support for the game. I would pay for a years subscription because i want to show support. I paid for over a year for FFXI, never asking anything in return except for the game for which i initially paid for. Why should I be unhappy if they give me anything that is essentially, free.

There's a difference between "the thought that counts" gift and to "tipping a waiter a penny" which is insulting.

I don't really care for any of these rewards but I can see why people are upset. When the reward is going to take up inventory space, and is essentially giving away a negligible amount of gil, then it isn't really thoughtful at all. 20k might seem like a decent sum of gil, but consider the player subscribed over 360 days. Assuming the player didn't just pay a full yearly subscription up front, and have actually played at least 180 days, then gil shouldn't be much of an issue at that point.

The tickets would have been more useful for early players to get around the world for the main story quest, but that's just my opinion on it.

Worst veteran reward yet at the 1 year mark and we're entitled for called it an incredibly poor choice.

Marketing loves players like you.

Worst free stuff yet. I bet you're the kind of person who gets upset that you got a black Iphone 5s for your birthday instead of a white one huh?

You'd be surprised. It's sad that people forget your sub is going towards playing the game, not the veteran system. But to play devil's advocate, a lot of people do only play this game on monday or tuesday then go off and play other games till next reset, so maybe they are only paying for vet rewards?

Free is free. Say thank you for it and appreciate it.
