RIP Minion Collectors :(

[worldofneil]

Not only minions, but mounts too.

Yes, but in regards to mounts for the vast majority of players it was impossible to complete the collection of those right from the start of 2.0 (due to the Legacy Chocobo and Goobue). At least that's how I've always seen it so I've never personally tried to have a complete mount collection.

I guess this is one of those things that you either join and do PvP or hope you are the best and let it go and move on. I understand you want them all, but there are some players who can not afford or are not able to buy (because of lack of creditcards, region, shipping cost to much etc.) the physical merchandise that give those items and they too, have no choice but to move on.

I don't disagree with you and to be honest I shouldn't really have bought some of the items, money could have been spent in much more needed places my life, but needed the collection... Oh well I suppose if nothing else this'll help me get some better life priorities than worrying about acquiring virtual minions in a game...

In most games the PvP reward is something that players want the most

Again I don't disagree with you, but (as I'm sure you know!) Final Fantasy XIV is PvE... with a very small PvP bolted on. I guess they want to increase numbers of players doing it. I hear horror stories about win trading in PvP, but with no actual evidence of my own I hope they are just stories

Well I'm still up to date with the Orchestrion rolls... maybe have to prioritise those now... until they add 1 to PvP for 10 people only... :P

I am in the same boat and have always hated pvp. I barely just put effect into getting the Fenrir pup before I gave up and just bought it because I still didn't get a single drop after 3 weeks. Same going with the cheerleader but it helped knowing I could take my time to get both without being forced into content which I have to now fight other for and now limited. -.-

Same with Fenrir... tried for weeks, gave up bought it. Can't remember when I got the Cheerleader, but at least that wasn't impossible, just had to build up the Wolf Marks over time
