ShopTo Campaign is failure!

[wizisi2k]

I hate to agree with EU players but it seems like this was a failure all around. in NA, it was select items from Amazon. Why could that NOT apply globally? Square would have to deal with 1 company, subscribers could buy what they want, and it's a reputable site. Corbec: these are EUR codes so unless you have a EUR account, you cannot use these codes.

This is absolutely infuriating. I will pretty much buy any one of there items to get the mount and I cant finish completing the account creation because they wont take my credit card since I am the USA I am guessing. Regional account another great fucking idea buy SE, good fucking job.

This is the EU campaign. You wouldn't be able to use the codes if you have a NA account. Has to be a EU account to use them. The NA campaign for the items was last year.

I'm really not quite sure why yet didn't just continue the partnership with Amazon. I mean I have nothing against ShopTo but so far it's practically impossible to take advantage of the event as everything is either out of stock or will be in stock soon. Alright yes any retailer can have stock issues, but when you know you have an event coming up you'd kinda prepare for it a bit more professionally you know. They could also have partnered with GAME which had a European presence (not just in UK) but Amazon would of made much more sense.

For now I'll just have to keep checking the stock every couple of days to see if anything becomes available....

Is it a good move? prob 40/60, it does dis-sway wanna be scammers, but it also shoo's potential buyers.

So I have to pay about 37% extra for what I want (the time card)...Yeah.

It's not Japan. It's not NA. In Europe, there are many countries each with their own taxes, particularly import/export taxes. Working with a shop in NA that can deliver items to any place in the country with roughly the same cost is not the same as working with a shop that can deliver the items to a certain percent of the population at no cost, while require almost 40% more from the rest. And they seem to force me to use a higher-cost delivery method with tracking, when I don't even give a damn about that, since I only care whether they sent it and whether I have it, not where it is in-between.

If Square Enix cannot collaborate on this with a shop that does not force a physical delivery for very much digital goods, just cause they feel like it, then they should collaborate with one shop from each country, so that everyone have the same chances. Obviously, that's ridiculous from anyones point of view. So just collaborate with a partner that sells digital stuff digitally!


But hey, Germany got the promotion TWICE now, right?! For their Germany-only promotion and for this (as they are still Europe, and I didn't see an exclusion for Germany in the rules).

It says game time cards on the site made by FFXIV but when you look at a game it has extra writting https://www.shopto.net/video-games/p...-final-fantasy
compared to the game time card https://www.shopto.net/video-games/p...d-also-for-ps4

I have been to the 'order' section an no code is there. Has anyone had success on buying the games over time cards?

SE JUST PUT THE MOUNT ON THE MOG STATION AND EVERYONE WILL BE HAPPY XD

It most likely has to do with EU laws regarding things like this.

Last year's maid and butler outfits promo in France was twofold. First it was the bar thing, but then for a week it was Amazon. And people from all over Europe could order from there, the only problem was they had to have some help with translation of the site. But it was doable. So, that proves it's possible, and that the laws aren't against it. But SE just refuses to do that it seems, for some reason.

There is peopel with EU accounts playing from the US. Though I'm wondering, does this website work for Australia and New Zealand then?

Maybe something changed with Amazon between then and now. Who knows? Could be some issue with the company that runs FFXIV in China as well as it's their gear that is being promoted. Course as you said it could be SE just being dumb.
