Topic on exclusive items

[Klamor]

A quick way to lose faith and respect amongst your paying customers would be to start releasing "exclusive" items that come from events / special purchases to the general playerbase. Essentially, these items are a little "thank you" to customers for spending additional money (either through events, buying CDS, preorders, whatever) outside of your subscription fee.

There seems to be a lot of entitlement that floats around with the crowd who thinks all items should be released to everyone. Outside of showing up to conventions, just about everything else is available easily to those who want to pay for it.

^ This. If you want your "thank you"-items then you should have been supporting the game. "I didn't know it existed" isn't really a good enough excuse to make it sound like you should be able to essentially go back in time to get those same items that others got. In another game, RIFT, they had a special mount and minion that you could only get for having bought the Collector's Edition... some time later those exact same items were then available in the cash shop. Why? So some kid who joined the game a year into it (considering a lot of games at the time RIFT came out didn't last a year... Star Wars... before going F2P) could tell everyone else he bought the CE when he really didn't? Just because he liked the two-headed turtle mount and the little Bogling? The point is that making them either reappear over and over, or offering them in the cash shop when they were originally distributed for special things (events, CEs, etc.) you remove the whole "thank you" aspect from it, and that's the whole issue right there.

IT's fine to not get everthing in this game.
I started with HW Addon and missed Lightning Event, too.

Does it bother me? No.
Do I want a comeback of the Event? Well not without a reason, like the Lightning Returns Release where this Event took part.

Aside from the Legacy items and special items that come with plushies and offical soundtracks, I think SE should release them all on the Mog Station for the same fee as it was before. Stuff like Moogle suit, FFXIII glamour items, hairstyles, Dragon Quest items need to be sold via the Mog Station. This is a win/win for SE and the playerbase. SE has alot of events and items that can sold for a nice profit and from reading the threads on the forum there is a demand for it, why isnt SE supplying it?

I own the moogle suit, lightning hairstyle etc., so its not like I am supporting this thread so I can get something. Items like the moogle suit was sold for 25 euro at the time, it was no promise from SE, it was no exclusive stuff, since everyone could buy it for 25 euro. So why not put the moogle suit for 10,50 euro (we got the livestream) on the Mog Station? Those that realy want the item can buy it, SE gets $$$$ that they can use to make more content or glamours, WIN/WIN.

I agree that legacy stuff should be left alone, the items are a reward for paying a subscription of a dying game and minions from CD or Plushies are still being sold, so they should be left alone, but everyone else is fair game, in my opinion.

Yes, exclusive items exist to make money. That is absolutely correct. And they make less money if people don't trust that they are exclusive. That's how business works!

If they cost money, then no, they're not going to be making more money. In fact they'll be making more money if it was a permanent item, just spread out over a longer period of time.

I agree with you. A lot of people get really butthurt on these forums for a simple questions.

Here's an idea! If you don't want to read a thread about the same topic, DON'T CLICK ON IT. it's really that simple. They just want to be rude for no reason. Ignore them though, sadly there's people like this in every online game.

THANK YOU.

So put them in the cash shop? That's, like, literally supporting the game ._.'

Literally just posted this on your other thread, but here we go.

Nobodys entitled. This thread is about the people who go around crushes other's spirits because they have an item that others want and try their hardest to prevtm it from returning.

Speaking of plushies...you all need to stop buying those Carbuncle plushies so that I can get one!

...please? I'm a sucker for cuddly animals! Haven't you seen all the stuffed... nevermind.

[PawsTheKitti123]

Wah! I got the Gobbue legacy mount on one character but not another! Wah, I want to be special!

Sorry, I'll admit sometimes that I'll see someone with event gear that I didn't participate in and I'll wish I had participated...but I'm not gonna complain about it. I just won't miss future events.

This is what Im saying

I missed them because I did not own the game. If I missed an event now, while having the game I cant complain whatsoever.
