About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

Yea no I dont think so SE. I'll wait to see how its delivered to our friends on the continent and maybe get it then.

While I appreciate the effort that's been put in finding all of us down here in Europe a promotion deal, and I realize it is not easy with all the different countries, I really do think SE could have done much, much better than a long, expensive, restrictive, cumbersome, privacy-invading deal with a magazine that very few people read, published by a company that has a history of "suspicious" activity.

I will not be taking this deal, and I cannot recommend that anyone else does.

I will repeat my post in as nice a manner as I can considering my last post was deleted. The fact that this is down right a bad idea, lets focus on the fact that this company is extremely shady to say the least. You would have us submit pictures of ourselves (and in the case of players playing at the minimum age of 13 submitting pictures of minors) to a company that already has had a lawsuit put against them for violating the childrens online privacy policy act. I am sure you can understand why this is very concerning to say the least.

Looking at the tiny silver lining in this black cloud of terrible ideas, I'm at least happy that SE now acknowledge that Australia exists, and that Australians play FFXIV.

The only reason they haven't taken action about the "promotion" is because people are STILL buying into it! Regardless of how awful it is people are still blindly letting SE shaft them.
Steps on how to fix this SE:
1. End the promotion NOW
2. Request that people refund what they purchased, if a contract was made then you will have to supplement what was designed in the contract.
3. Put items on the mogstation so the community calms down.
4. Apologize.
5. (Optional but defiantly should be taken into consideration: Leak future class/patch information)
SE, you're only hurting yourself if you keep shafting EU players. We are a huge part of this game. Stop leaving us out.

Doesn't that say more about our community and justify SE's actions more? They throw a ridiculous promotion at us and people still go for it

It does and it's very unfortunate. My guess it's people who are tired of waiting to get these items, they don't care, or they don't understand that they are falling into a deep dark hole of regret.
Honestly I was very close to purchasing this promotion when it arrived I've been camping the lodestone & reddit for a very long time waiting for our turn, but after reading into it and knowing the company for what it is - it isn't worth it.
I wish that other people see and understand what they are promoting.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm tired and on painkillers.

This is horrible, I feel for the poor EU players. Why not just cash shop it by this point T_T They'd be making the same amount of money for better anyway.

It is 100% an option, not something you need to do... they've got other avenues planned for other countries which could be cheaper, easier and more accessible for others. This is the UK deal, so if you don't like it, wait.

Yes, but not the OPTION to buy something we would actually use. Or actually want.

We are being given the OPTION to sell our personal image for something the NA and JP players got for going through less humiliation.

Then why are you even commenting about it in the first place when it is an OPTION? Wait for the next promotions before you jump to conclusions? This thread is literally thousands of people just jumping to conclusion claiming it to be the end of the world when it isn't...

Then wait for another option... also I've lived in the UK for 3 years and only had 2 packages get lost in the post, so it's not as bad as you are stating it to be.

TL;DR: Stop jumping to conclusions and wait.

I've lived in the UK for 23 years. I have lived in the area for 23 years. I live in Scotland on a set of islands that is well known for having issues with postage delivery (we used to pay £10 postage when it was "free for uk delivery" until 2014) and did not get proper internet until 2009, we are getting fiber internet in around 2-3 years time. I, my parents and my family have ordered things in over 23 years and it has a pretty high chance of "going missing". We nailed it down to around 1 in 3 chance in a decade. Do not tell me that I'm not stating it as bad as it is. That is ignorant and rude.
