Optional item request: Legacy Goobue mount

[myahele]

Looking at this thread, i have to say that Legacy players are some of the most entitled players I've seen in any game. Yes, you've stuck around in failing game are are already being rewarded for it. But must they bash people for requesting 1.0 items?

They only pay less than $10/month for subscribing to 1.0 for at least 90 days and they talk about "privileges"

Not all of us only subbed for 90 days. I subbed as soon as they came active and was subbed until the final month that we could. Some of us stuck around and supported the game even when it was failing. Yes it got better. No it was not up to par by the end. Funny thing is, you find people helping out randoms a lot more on legacy servers (from what I've seen between playing on both) and are more willing to help. It's generally the non legacy population that has a problem with it. In the beta forums there were large posts about how people weren't going to let legacy players in their parties etc. I was glad to see that this didn't transfer over in game however it seems it's alive and well on the fourms.

This. I was honestly pretty disgusted with some of the responses to the OP in that moonlet earring thread a while back, not to mention the double standard around here where it's not okay to ask that all 2.x exclusives remain exclusive yet it's perfectly okay to bash others for requesting 1.x items, as if legacies are the only ones in this game who deserve exclucivity. Personally, I'd rather not see any of it brought back in any way, including the things I missed out on as well as the things I have, and would like to see plenty of new one time events for the new players because I feel that if a select group of players deserve to be exclusive, then we all do.

I also think that it's perfectly fine to have missed out on something and never have it come back around again (I was prepared to do that myself with the lightning event, since I only caught the anniversary run of it last aug/sept-ish, and at the time I started playing, I was okay with having missed them as long as I'd eventually have a shot at something else), and that it's a bit unrealistic (and unfair to others) to just assume that you should be given all the things, but that it's also unfair to just tear into someone for simply asking if one item or event can be brought back. They still have the right to ask.

Admittedly though, this thread has been a bit tamer than ones I've seen in the past from what I've read of it, it's at least nice to see some non-toxic replies coming from 1.0 players whether they agree or disagree that it should be brought back, and I gotta agree with those who feel that 2.0 already has a goobue mount, no reason to bring the other one back at all.

Legacy player here. On vacation when the Gobbue was abavilabe and I missed out on it. Couldn't care less.

Spoken like a true hero.



I really don't understand why people want the original Goobbue mount. Isn't the laurel Goobbue enough? It's practically the same thing.

Vanity items are true end game. Where have you been?

[Syldra]

Because we can't get everything, I guess.
I would personally love to have the Legacy Chocobo as its description states it's your bird from 1.0 and I had grinded to get my Chocobo whistle back then (I guess that means my bird died? q_q), buuut it's not happening. Isn't the Sylph one a reskin anyway? Pretty sure Goobbue isn't taller than Laurel Goobbue.

I would buy it. Your cheaper legacy subscription is thanks enough, stop being greedy.

[Gramul]

stop being greedy.

Do you actually mean that?
Do you really and earnestly think that the people who bothered to get these limited items, to stick with 1.0, even into subscription, are being greedy because they'd like these special items to remain special is greedy? That these symbols of appreciation should be made readily available to all because you want the same mount with a carpet in place of a crown?
Greed is the intense and selfish desire for something. How exactly would you qualify your own want?

I mean it more than I ever meant anything on these forums. You played a game, good job, pat on the back. You pay a substantially less amount of money per month than non legacy people. If you really need tons of virtual pixels to keep patting yourself for playing a old game then I dunno man.
