About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

[TaranTatsuuchi]

I will third all of the complaints also have a question what if your Australian but playing on a na server ?

Server doesn't matter, it's the region of the account for stuff like these promos.

Depends what type of account you have, not where you play. When you set up your account originally it would have asked you where you were located, if you chose somewhere in NA, you'd have an NA account, JP, JP account. If you choose nearly anywhere else in the world it makes you an EU account, which only makes this campaign even more insane when you think about it.

Pretty sure the items had to be 'sold and shipped by amazon' to qualify for the promotion in the first place.

It started out that way then they started adding in digital items to the promotion.

Do u know , that UK has just quit EU? UK≠ EU, and EU players come from different countries including none english speaking country. Although english is an international language, but a local magazine from UK doesent mean international.

Did you know that the UK want to leave the European Union (EU) and not Europe (EU) as a continent? smh people like you....

And yes, there is a difference between that. Not every Country of Europe is part of the European Union...

The Promotion is Europe based, not Union based...

Well, the one I recall was a thread made specifically to discuss the removal of this thread.
And I'm pretty certain that almost all forums have rules against discussing moderator actions.

So that one was pretty justified.

Begs the question, how to hold mods accountable if forum is only point of contact we have for SE?

This just feels like a big "Screw you" from SE, I always wanted that mount and i would have eagerly upfront paid just too have it along with the maid dress. However sending a shady magazine my photo and a decent amount of money is a bit...well shady haha. Even with this much of an uproar we'll still just get the same crap.

As much as I agree this whole campaign was poorly executed and as much as I would like to have the white fat choco mount as an extra optional item,
I'm just going to order issue #308 for the outfits alone for me and a friend and hope the package/code doesn't get lost along the way.

I am going to be honest. I hate this promotion, it's bad taste all around. But, I am weak, and was planning on buying the magazine, very angrily I may add. But now? Not a chance. It has been so many complaints from everyone, and we have been waiting.
Why? Because SE KNOWS we will bend over backwards to try get the outfit. We have seen our Japan friends have it, been jealous, then the NA friends, still jealous. But the "hype" will die down, it has already been way too long for us to even get the chance to get it. Now making us a bad deal like this? Because they know we are desperate enough to do it. It's not a promotion, as the Amazon deal was, buy something you want, and get a bonus! It's literally, pay for the costume and everything, and here, a magazine.

I urge everyone not to buy into this, we are not happy, and they should know it by now. Stand up for us, and don't let the urge to have the maid/butler glamour for a few weeks give them a reason to think we can be treated like this.

Seconded, however, I truly doubt anyone would actually boycott it to the extent it becomes clear to SE we won't stand for this. People not acquainted with the forums, new players to the game wanting the outfit, people buying the magazine out of a deep desire for the glamour(somewhat like myself, except I'm not paying for the magazine) will buy it and not necessarily understand the harm they are doing by enabling the continuation of this shoddy treatment by SE.

Furthermore, remember the mag name? Barely anyone does. Been active for 23 years and has little fanbase, reviews are worthless.
