ShopTo Campaign is failure!

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.

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.

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.

Nope. Amazon and a promo both exist, are allowed, and do happen in the EU, the two are even allowed to be combined.

Course as you said it could be SE just being dumb.

This is all it is, and likely will ever be. From the very first attempt at this promo thing, back when it was the maid gear (I think?), all that's been displayed is a gross level of incompetence in regard to handling the very same thing they do smoothly in other regions; sometimes even forgetting whole parts of Europe that were in one promo before but not the next; other times using absurd distribution - a magazine!

Not that they care. There's a 1000+ page thread providing details of everything that's wrong with their EU promo handling... yet here we are again.

Just use Amazon, SE, you really don't have to make this hard on yourself... or us.
