RIP Minion Collectors :(

[Moonlite]

I would suspect two things contributed. One complaints in both languages. Two it hasn't generated the bump in participation they hoped for. PvP has some pretty quality data trackers, can any of them tell match difference over the 3 seasons? Even though season 3 is still early it has probably started to stagnate, since no decay on rank and more fear of dropping this season.

Thank you ever so much for this positive reply and I am sure it will please the many minion collectors who hope to gain all.

^^

Likewise. Sarcastic and snarky replies aside this is much appreciated.

Greetings,

Thank you for your feedback in regard to the Feast Season Three ranking rewards.

We have received a lot of feedback globally in regard to the minion given out as a reward for successfully ranking in the top 10 of Season Three, and after discussing the details of the rewards with the dev. team we have come to a conclusion to make the following changes.

• Add another method to obtain this minion
  By completing a new achievement objective which is planned to be introduced in Patch 3.5, players will be able to obtain the same minion.
  <br>
• Add another reward
  The minion will remain as a reward for players who successfully rank in the top 10; however, in addition to this, we will be introducing a new earring item with a unique design.

*The rewards page on the Lodestone has be updated to reflect this change.

We understand that there are players who have participated in Season Three of the Feast for these rewards, therefore, we did not want to take away and change the rewards. Instead we have made it so these players are able to obtain this minion earlier while giving other players a chance at obtaining the same minion by completing a new achievement objective that will be introduced after the conclusion of Season Three.

However, we did not want to discourage players already participating in the Feast for losing out on a reward, so we have decided to include a new earring along with the current reward.

Based on the feedback we received, we’ll make sure to be more careful when deciding which items to use for rewards, especially for items which would be difficult to obtain moving forward.

We thank you for your understanding, and appreciate all your feedback.

Any changes regarding the mount?

Hey, while we're getting stuff changed, I do collect mounts!

Called it, now you can all go back to whining about something else.

Snarky comment aside, I am perfectly fine with this so long as the achievement is difficult, otherwise its place as a tournament prize is completely undermined.

Hey, while we're getting stuff changed, I do collect mounts!

Can I request that the devs wait until 4.0 to give out the mount as a reward? It will happen, but it is easy enough to get that those who work for it will get it, and staggering the rewards allows for more people to be incentivized by pvp over a longer period of time.

"Minion collection" has to be one of the most selfish excuses I've seen for someone to demand they also get a better chance at an exclussive reward. While at it, why don't we ask we get the art/screenshot/etc. contest rewards as achievements too? I happen to be an earring collector! It's unfair that we get a limited time chance at those!

I can see why they came up with these prizes. It's meant to be a cool thing for the winners of the season to show around, something for other people to say "oooh, look at that guy!" and it's a fair reward for the winners of the entire season of a pvp mode the devs meant to be competitive. And this request is a display of how selfish this community can be. I'm really disappointed.

Falling on deaf ears in this thread.

Dear square I am an avid earring collector. I was not skilled enough in 1.0 to get the white raven earrings and the thought of not having them makes my tummy super-duper-upset. Can you please give it to me as an achievement for x hrs idle in idyllshire? I mean its called idle-shire so I should get an reward for being the best at being afk. If not that can you please put it in the cash shop for 25$, but only for one char because I want people to be impressed at my wealth when I buy them for all my alts, thanks. ♥♥♥

So SE just made a change that motivated a larger portion of the FFXIV playerbase to try out PVP. It creates shorter queue times and more competition. Apparently it still will take effort, but it won't be impossible to gain after a few months. This benefits everyone. Why all the spam? If you're not happy, voice your opinion in a more productive way that is more likely to give you a result you want, as the OP of this thread did: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ve-PVP-Rewards

I mean, if you actually want to help your case, that is. /shrug

If SE wants to appeal to competitive PVP players, which seems to be what the whole Feast thing is all around, then they need to provide sufficient prestige for the effort those players put in. People aren't going to spend a lot of time on a reward that holds little value. People aren't going to waste their time doing things the hard way if there is a much easier way to do the same thing.

Earrings are kind of lame as a alternative reward. Most people can't even make out earrings people are wearing.
