Possible Concern with 'Fly the Falcon' mount campaign, and future campaigns like it.

[Fyce]

It rewards players who are currently playing the game and who keep their subscription active.
If you're not playing for 3-4 months, or if you're not even in the game yet, then why would they reward you? That would defeat the point of such reward system.

With this system, it's possible for someone to completely miss out on it, and never have the chance again.

It's really no different than the legacy mark and chocobo, which also asked 1.0 players to be subscribed for a certain amount of time to qualify for it come 2.0

Eh, I didn't really see anything wrong with the way the current loyalty reward system is set up... this feels even more restrictive.

[Airget]

Eh, Campaign sounds more like, "Last for 180 days" and if you are subscribed from the Dates of say July 1st-January 1st you will get the mount.

I've long since given up on the whole 'collect all of X' aspect of FFXIV. SE has just been too shitty about it in order to extract more money from people (event items not obtainable after the fact without paying extra; Mog Station exclusives; Collector's Edition exclusives; Veteran Rewards; etc.).

If it were just one or maybe two of those things (say, Mog Station and Collector's Editions), I could sort of "wall off" those items into a separate category and not worry about them. As-is, though, I feel like I'm having to put so many asterisks on my collection, I just don't care to bother at all.

In short - SE can do whatever they want with the Veteran's Reward system, so far as I'm concerned. I sub when I want to sub, and unsub when I get bored. There is absolutely nothing they can do item-wise to influence my decisions, because they've abused the item manipulation so thoroughly already.

It reached a point where the length of time for those rewards was absurd. Someone picking up Stormblood today wouldn't see the Squall outfit for four years. If that continued, some items would be completely unobtainable as the game likely wouldn't last as long as the requirement for anyone who wasn't playing at release. Keep in mind, Veteran Rewards was never just a thank you to long term players. It was meant to incentivize maintaining your sub indefinitely. That incentive is lost when the rewards are so far off you may not even remember them.

[Anzyx]

I just hope its not like you have to sub for 90 days within 30 days or something like that, if its as long as your staying subed within this 90 days period you get rewarded with a mount then i like that

That is the whole point of it, to make ppl stay subscribed o.o That is a reward that you kept loyal with the game. If they make it easy for ppl to get the reward later what would be the point of the loyal system?

While with veteran rewards, they will always be available, just time gated.

The last reward for veteran rewards requires 4 years, we're no even sure if the game will still be here in 4 years or if they will already be thinking of releasing a new version of it with an updated engine. The new reward system looks much more reasonable for people to achieve things while the game is on its peak.

This poster is spot on. The colleciton in FF XIV is ABSURB in size and potential exculsivity (depending on entry point) that being bothered about the potential to miss items like this loses all impact.

All mmo's are like that, you have to dedicate a immense amount of time and money to have everything and yeah, you don't need everything. This is the kind of achievement that appears years later in game websites like the guy who got all the achievements in world of warcraft or the guy that were able to reach lvl 999 in tibia. It's not for everyone
