RIP Minion Collectors :(

[Shippuu]

Yup. This has removed my desire to spend money on any more physical SE products.

Collecting minions was fun - but as a collector, knowing you can never achieve a 100% full collection ruins the whole collecting thing. Its removed a collectors end goal.

Oh please, you don't even have the wind up dalamud or wind up bahamut, both of which were limited time only minions so your collection would never be 100% anyways. I can guarantee you and many others who are complaining about this "ruining your collection" don't have anywhere close to full collections.

Is there really a need to make this personnel?

I appreciate that no one made me collect minions for the last 3 years and whilst I have no doubts us minion collectors are a minority, up until this point we have all had the chance to get every single one.

To be fair, we haven't ALL had the chance to get every single one. Folks who've been around since ARR started? Sure. But since then, a lot of minions have become unobtainable, such as the Wind-up Dalamud that used to be available with the 1.0 soundtrack. Those codes no longer work, even if you manage to get your hands on a copy of the soundtrack with the codes. Anyone who wants a Rikku minion better hope that they start playing the game before the Live stream offer expires, as well. NEW players who are interested in becoming collectors are frankly out of luck, and only the rapidly dwindling population of collectors who've been around since the get-go still remain.

So, in spite of what I've said about SE maybe making the minions available via grab bag, it is evident that SE does not have hardcore collectors in mind for these things. They put time limits on in order to encourage folks to impulse buy, because if they don't buy now it will be gone forever! (Onoes!) This may well be SE's way of saying, "Thanks for the money, you guys, but from now on, don't worry so much about it. We never planned on anyone working to have a complete collection, and now it's pretty much impossible anyway, so you can just relax, and only pay cash for the ones you actually want! Oh, and, um, no refunds. Peace!"

The OP does appear to genuinely have a full collection though, so they have the horse in this race. The other people are being dramatic while not having a leg to stand on.

I'm a mount & minion collector , actually #2 of ragnarok and I have 208/210 minions at the moment.
This is a really really bad news in my opinion. Sure it's useless, and only I care, but this collection is what is keeping me on the game in-between patches when there is nothing else to do anymore.
I wouldn't mind doing X number of PVP games to get a minion even though I don't like PVP, but now I have to be good at it too ? And it's time limited ?

I'm sad today

As a PVPer and PVEer I thought season 1 and 2 had fine rewards but when they said that the rewards would be changing every 2 seasons that makes me wonder if they will ever come back around again and even if they do who knows how long before they would or may never so it would be very exclusive which does seem odd considering the marketing strat they have been using for bonus exclusive minion/mount items (which some people go crazy for) I personally never understood why game companies cut content from a game and made so called bonus content out of it. (Oh yeah, double dipping and over the top greed) Could have just done pvp wolf totems for finishing in top # range/color tier with new stuff added every 2 seasons to a pvp totem npc. Seems like SE are asking for unsubs and killing some of their whales off with this one or at very least getting less sales on promotion/cash shop junk which they need to stop doing all together anyway but it seems SE are to busy trying to copy WOW's business model...
