[Request] Please make event gear harder to get outside of in-game events.

Do you know you're actively petitioning Square to stop getting more money? It's why I'm not bothered about the outcome of this thread. It's just funny to me.

I'm suggesting that they stand to make more by encouraging active participation in-game through active subscription (money for SE), rather than hoping people buy the stuff of Mogstation. My point is that more people in game and in event is a good thing, and event rewards are the carrot (carrots vs sticks/ positive vs negative reinforcement) that is intended to do that. Making those rewards available outside the game for $$ reduces their effectiveness as carrots.

You play or you don't play. If SE makes money either way then it benefits the company.

This is not a hybrid payment model like ESO, subscribers get the same perks whether 1 month or for the duration. Starting when SE stopped the veteran rewards build up. It's a sub game with an optional cash shop.

And I don't consider anything Entitlement unless you get something free that should cost money because one might believe they deserve special treatment.

Exclusivity is what almost killed the subscribe to play model and caused me to quit playing ESO. Sure you can play it free, but you don't get the whole package.
