Seven eleven's items

Personally would rather not see it happen like this as that only gives the JP a timed exclusive and everyone else a slap in the face. What they should have done is put the original items on the mog station once the codes expired, then put the cloud mount in the CS like every other Chinese item that's released over here, and not done another promotion at all. I get what you're saying though. Either way at this point, one region is going to be given special treatment over another and there's really no way around that.

If SE has issues doing the event in some of the EU countries, maybe make it so the items are tied to purchases made on the Mog Station or SE Store. An example, buy something that is worth 20 euro on the Mog Station or SE Store and receive the codes for free. This way we wont get slapped in the face, since we are getting the codes for free with our purchases, its an event only within SE.

This will also help SE make more money, its a WIN/WIN for both EU players and SE. This could also work for those that live in a different region, like the player who lives in Japan, but has an EU account.

Oh, I gotcha. I initially read it as just being ok with the JP region being given these things then the items themselves being slapped up on the CS once the JP players started to get tired of them. Which is something that would allow all of us to get the items, but I just can't bring myself to feel okay with the idea. XD

The way you explained it here would work better.

If I live in Japan, I should be able to have the same rights as anyone with a JP account to participate in the promotion being held in my country of residence

We are one community, we are playing the same game. Giving one region Items that others don't get produces ressentiments. Why? Because we see them posing with their cool mounts next to us. Jealousy is one of the most powerful human emotions.
Square Enix should not divide the community into two different communities, Japanese players with cool things and the rest staring at them.
We are not second-class human and we shouldn't be treated as such.
