Summer Event

[Kailok]

I was told the same at first, but replied on how stupid that was for that to happen.

It promotes laziness IMO. Ah well

Agreed. When I was told to do that I was like "...Wait, that's it? That's...really lame..." (Something of that nature), so after my first 3 ashes I was compelled to look it up and actually look up a guide for it. Though, I do think it's more a lack of clear instruction on SE's part. The starter NPC told me to go to the Gold Bazaar, so I went to the Gold Bazaar.

[buritoslicer]

yeah... Square should probably implement some boundaries on these events.... so people have to follow the intended instructions.

[DeadRiser]

Yeah I was lost as hell. they didn't offer enough instructions from the NPC's in my opinion. There should be an NPC where he spawns warning you that he will appear soon

So you lost 30min doing the event yourself, [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.]. Get over it, you got your ashes so why do you care about the other people?

It's not right dude. What's with the language, can't you make this a civil conversation? Hope you like getting emailed by the Devs.

I still don't see the point of your complaint. You say the event is fun, so you must have had fun doing it. Following that logic, the leechers there didn't have fun because they were leeching, so at the end of the day they missed out on the fun. Seems to me you have therefore no reason to complain. Anyway why exactly do you care? They got their swimsuits, you got yours and you had your fun. Again, what's the big deal? It's not like they made it impossible for you to do your own thing...

This. If you were gonna do it anyway, the people standing around at the emergency intelligence incinerator were incidental. They took nothing from you.

BUT that's the point I am getting at. Rewarding them for nothing.

They are making a profit from doing NOTHING. That's the point I'm getting at. I don't care that they are selling them really, but if you are selling them, it'd be nice to know that you actually worked for them ashes. It's just a the knoweledge so and so is selling blue ash for 60k in the market wards for doing nothing.

I can complain all I damn well want to, all I'm asking is for Square to make it accessible to everyone, but not rewards everyone for doing nothing.

Were not complaining about us having to spend 30 minutes to do it... what the OP was complaining about was the leachers. This event is really Fun and Enjoyable... it's just a drag that people can stand around and keep looting the ashes...

[MariyaShidou]

Why should I go away? The event rewards people who actually do something: fun. That's what the leechers lose. The event doesn't offer uber spear-of-leecher-slayer +3.
