About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

[Felis]

I urge everyone to not take part in this promotion.

Oh, I will not take part in this promotion, don't worry.
I'm waiting for the german version.

There not such thing as privacy on the internet. It only false sense of security. There is privacy a extent using the "privacy" control but to think you put something on the internet regardless of the settings and expect it to remain secure/hidden forever is unlikely.

When you put something on the Internet, you should, by default, consider it to have been made completely public - regardless of privacy or security settings.

There are privacy settings.

PS (@Lexia) : I could even add I never post picture of myself since I have no interest in promoting "me, my life and myself" in any kind of social media. I even don't publish my photo on LinkedIn. I'm not one of these useless narcissic Instagram folks who are called people. People? Random narcissic individual. Nothing I care about. People from my FC can confirm I even refuse to show my picture to them. This absolutly out of question.

Never say never? Some kind of reformulation : I avoid as hell, I'm even ready to broke friendship to someone who would dare share a picture of me. Then I start by never sharing one myself.

That said : they don't request selfies, that a good point and usefull clarification.

Point taken... lol. Though as you're implying, the magazine's small circulation would mean it could sell out before you are able to buy one. Either way, this was a terrible idea for this promotion.

I totally agree. I forgot to add I also think the promotion is a big steaming pile of chocobo dung I also wont be purchasing the magazines.

Why don't they just tack these sort of promotions on SE products i.e games etc from their own store.

[SciFi]

I was going to compare how much of a blunder this to 1.0, but that wouldn't be fair on 1.0. Every stage of such a promotion has been proven to be massively flawed, repeatedly.

[Felis]

I wouldn't mind if it was a more reputable company and/or a more viable (and reliable) method of getting said magazines. Game Master is not available here in Australia and I'm not going to order magazines I have no desire for, just for a code. Spending $40 AUSD or higher just for a code? I may be crazy with my money at times, but notTHAT crazy. Yes the method used for NA via Amazon probably caused the need for something different for this promotion... but this? No, I don't like it...

In any event, SE should've thought more about this before going ahead. I can understand that there could have been some legal repercussions for putting the items on the Mogstation or that using another sort of promotion with another company would help (like they did in Japan with 7/11)... anything but something like this.

Note: Separate campaigns offering the same in-game items are currently being planned for those residing in: France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and Nordic territories. Further details on these campaigns will be posted at a later date.

I can only hope the other EU country promotions are better than this one and that UK residents can take part in those. I live in the UK and will NOT take part in the UK promotion because it is a really bad one.

A printed magazine is just opinions and information but in this digital age with access to the internet we can get all the information we want for free...why the hell would I want to buy a three month subscription to a printed magazine that I have no use for whatsoever. Why force us to wait three months to get the items even if did take part when every other region so far which has had promotions for such items that is supposed to deliver them within 24 hours.

The price I can live with but not waiting 3 months or subscribing to an outdated and useless product. We should of got more choices of products to pick from with this promotion, ones that are not redundant and useless plus we should have been allowed to obtain the items within 24 hours like the JP/NA promotions.

[Theodric]

It's going to be even worse if the promotions elsewhere in the EU go live within the next three months and turn out to be far less cumbersome. At that point anybody who embraced the UK promotion will be screwed over pretty badly. What I want to know, though, is why UK players are consistently screwed over. We already had to pay a much higher price than Japanese and American players for the Heavensward Collector's Edition. Now we're expected to pay a much higher price for a promotion in addition to not getting the items immediately.

[Ziegsy]

I feel most annoyed about the fact that America got to PICK what they spent their money on. Japan spent it on consumables.
Their money was not wasted.

being forced to buy a magazine I dont want to read feels shitty. Like Im wasting my money. If it had been a smaller amount id have been fine, but the amount I would spend is equal to two weeks food allowance. In short we got shafted.

ESPECIALLY because it has to be a certain three issues- which will prolly have square enix stuff in but still- What if they sell out?

ALSO WHEN YOU SEND YOUR SELFIES ADD IN THE EMAIL YOU WITHHOLD PERMISSION FOR THEM TO USE THE PHOTO FOR ANYTHING- BE IT THEIR MAGAZINE OR ANY PROMOTIONAL MATERIAL.

So I went down to my local shop (in the middle of a big university city) and browsed the magazine isle to see if they even stock GM.
Turns out they stock literally 2 copies of "Minecraft World Magazine" but they don't stock GM due to their bad business etiquette and the lack of GM sales.
GG SE.
