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

[Kosmos992k]

After the "exclusive" FanFest 2014-only Mog Attire was released on the MogStation, I realized that nothing is sacred.

I don't really love the practice of throwing things on the MogStation, but if it's going to make SE money, you can bet your bottom dollar they are going to do it.

Moreover, generally speaking, these items were "exclusive" for a while. We usually don't see them in the MogStation until about a year or so later.

It's a touchy subject, but I would be extremely surprised if SE decided to stop this practice.

...and heck, I guess it means I can get my Yuna gear in like...two years or something.

I understand that sentiment.

Part of the reason I created the topic was to see how people would react; because every time someone requests that something be added to the MogStation there are cries of derision, anger and agitated objections from many corners of the forum. Based on the vehemence of people's reactions to things being added to the MogStation, I thought that there might be support for extending the amount of time that in-game event items remain exclusive to in-game events.

Don't get me wrong, I really would like to see that extension myself because I do believe that the reward is for participating in the event, not reaching into your wallet. Such items should be exclusively ingame for another year - in my opinion. I think it enhances their value as rewards for taking part in the events.

However I also was interested to see whether people were truly as upset about things being added to the Mogstation as you might expect from their reactions at other times. So far, it's looking like people are far more accepting of the MogStation/Cash shop than their reactions would lead you to believe, which is interesting.

I've always said that the Cash Shop isn't a problem, a long as it's optional items that don't impact gameplay or take away from in-game events. Although I would like the in-game exclusivity of such things extended by a year, the overall idea of making them available in the cash shop isn't a problem for me.
