Refer a Friend - Referal Code for people who purchase an additional 90 days?

[LillithCale]

I've seen a lot of positive and negative feed back in regards to the Chocobo Mount for the refer a friend program, and I've seen a lot of people run out to buy duplicate copies of the game just to get the mount with the intention of leaving the new account they just made to gather dust. There is a subreddit full of people trying to sell their recruit code and there are people who just plain don't have any more friends to invite. I'm in such a boat, anyone who had interest in the game is already playing and likewise, I myself was referred to this game and I've played for longer than 90 days as does the person who referred me. I'm not mad or seething with anger, but I am a little annoyed, and so I thought I might suggest a solution that has the potential to be easy to introduce and make a lot of people happy.

What if people with existing accounts are able to put in the code for the person who recruited them and then if an additional 90 days are purchased on that account, the items would be granted to the respective parties. Does it move more copies of the game? It doesn't, but it does have the potential to get a lot more people to renew for another 90 day subscription, which is still money in the bank.

I know people can't have everything in this game, and we certainly can't catch them all, but this is a situation where I felt a lot of the equal opportunity to obtain the mount was taken from a lot people because we've already referred our friends so this is just my humble suggestion to give others a chance at it.

When I read the title i thought if this was about veteran rewards.
After reading your post I would say: All existing players would refer each other within 24 hours, so it would really just be a veteran reward.
A rep aid there would be an other 2-seat mount that can be obtained ingame: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...98#post2333598
Just wait for that.

Haha, I won't lie, that made me smile. But I meant more so in the sense that I wasn't trying to whine about not being able to get all the special items myself, I know there is stuff I'll never be able to get and I'm fine with that, even though I really want that Cait Sith Doll :3

Well...that mount is suppose to be for the Eternal bond system. What if we don't want to get married in game even if it gives you a mount? What if that mount is only accessible while you are married? >>;

I know I was just playing I am probably an anomaly since I even went as far as getting the Moogle earrings.

I do understand, but that defeats the purpose of recruiting a friend , getting new people to play the game, so it is very unlikely they will add that.
They should have implemented it earlier
Veteran rewards are to keep people subscribing.

One thing they should change is give more rewards to the friend recruited, they only get the one item.

and you can get the cait sith doll, with the 20$ digital upgrade, along with the moogle minion, fat chocobo, and the other collector edition stuff

The Cait Sith doll is a preorder reward only, I unfortunately didn't preorder the game and when I upgraded to the digital upgrade, I did receive the other items, but not the doll. Which is why I mentioned not being able to get it xD Not that it's a big deal or anything.

oh I thought it was collector editon, sorry
