RIP Minion Collectors :(

They really REALLY want people to PVP.

As a person who enjoys PvP... I would be okay with title rewards. I think that would be a fun and fair way to 'show off' my achievement. Not that I'm one of those people expecting FFXIV to be a WoW clone, but WoW has offered title rewards for PvP seasons for a long time and I really think this is the way to go... You get to show off your achievement without having to constantly update your glamour.

I'm not against exclusivity per se, but the lack of consistency from SE really bothers me.

The SCOB titles, the Gordias mount, and the Midas minion are all still obtainable even though their respective PVE "seasons" are over and the encounters have been nerfed via echo, overgearing, and skill changes. Raids see their lockouts removed, allowing you to spam floors to obtain gear that used to be gated by weekly waits. EX Trial mounts like the ponies and birds get drop rate increases. It's fairly obvious the devs don't care about making exclusive PVE rewards, so why is it different for PVP? Why should PVP get this type of rewards when no other content in the game does?

I also don't think it's fair to compare the Feast rewards to other now-unobtainable rewards like Yokais or RL purchases - those weren't limited to small number of players per datacenter. As long as you were playing during the right time window, you were able to obtain them. The ranking system ensures most players won't get these items even if they're actively participating.

What about the gaelkitten cap that you only get for going to fanfest irl which isn't even in your country? Sure not a minion or mount but still a ingame item that I want and which is limited in some way.

OP here. Following on from the suggestions that I just need to work for them, well I haven't played Feast since it first came out, so I played 25 games last night. We won 3 of them (12%).

I tried my absolute best, but this is not where my skills lie. I'm sure that given time I will get better, but right now it's just resulting in a lot of other players being very upset and shouting abuse at me. I explained to a few that I was trying my best and I know I'm not very good at PvP, but if the only way I'm going to get that minion is to keep playing with the aim of getting better... what choice do I have? Not even sure where to start with the party queue either as none of the people I normally play with have any interest in PvP, but I'll come back to that.

I'm sure people will suggest that I shouldn't play PvP if I'm that bad, but then I was also suggested to play and "git gud" if I want the minion. So which is it? I don't mind being in it for the long game, but not sure I can handle the amount of annoyed players/abuse I'm getting in the process...

Read the "Season 3 Getting Started Guide", particularly the one written by King Stefan, but try to study all of them. Make sure your pvp skills are bound in easy to hit places. I could give you a lot of general tips but those guides will get you started.

Also for people raging, I've been called some pretty amusingly vile things before. Just laugh at them for being so mad at a video game and work on improving yourself.

Are you playing as a healer by chance?

Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to reply and will do so before I go back in!

Yes, WHM is by far my strongest class in the main game, unfortunately not working out so well here, but will try, try, try, try, try again!

I am not really a collector.

But reading about this just rubs me the wrong way.



You have my condolences.
