Discussing your 'unpopular' opinions

[DreadRabbit]

Tank mounts aren't exclusive though. If you randomly decide to tank one day, you can eventually get them. PvP exclusives are timed. Like I said earlier, if you didn't rank in the top 100 a few seasons ago, you can't ever get the Hell Hound mount.

...at this point we're just talking in circles with each other. No one stopped you from learning how to PvP. No one stopped you from learning how to PvP after learning they would get rewards like that. You can pick up PvP at any time and practice it in case they bring certain rewards back or give better rewards tomorrow. Or should we tell the raiding community they no longer get their exclusive minions because everyone else doesn't want to raid? Tell crafters they learned their profession for nothing because everyone can just earn the minions and furniture they make without having to do anything with those jobs?

Again: agree to disagree.

There is nothing exclusive in life. Except game content...

And with this I'm officially done with this topic. How old are you that you actually believe that?

You're missing the point entirely. We're not talking about dropping those rewards into PvE...We're talking about giving people the chance at them regardless of when they decide to try at it, when they start playing the game etc.

Make the rewards for Feast some sort of tokens and let those tokens be exchanged for any reward ever offered in Feast. There, problem solved. They are no longer exclusive, but they still require the same amount (and type) of effort.

If you still cannot understand the difference, it means you do not want to.

In real life, if you miss a sale, you can always buy the item at full price. If you miss that special number-limited figurine going on sale, you can always look for someone that got it and try buying it off of him. There is nothing exclusive in life. Except game content...

The problem with that design, as has been previously said in the PvP forums, is that if any and all rewards were made available after the fact, then why compete for them in the first place? If I can get Season 3's mount via tokens later, why bother competing to win it in Season 3? Why not just pull bare minimum and get it later in Season 7 or 8?

If an Olympic medalist doesn't win a medal during those games, in that year, in that place, even if they come back for the next games, should they get that last games' medal?

There's barely any exclusive anything in this game because of that mindset. Having something as a limited time reward for a competition entirely makes sense. Otherwise, why bother?

I'm not done with the thread and they're entitled to their opinion, but I"m done with the PvP topic. I think both sides have made it pretty clear they're not budging on their opinions so why bother? I will admit I should have made that clearer.

I think exclusive items obtained through promotion or in-game events are just fine. Even if it's something that is no longer available.

Same goes for 1.0 character tattoos.

There is nothing wrong with feeling disappointed over missing out on an item, but those who claim it's not fair and that the items should be made available to all need to get their entitlement in check.

Sure, I like salt. Makes a lot of foods taste fantastic. In healthy amounts of course.

On topic: Hmm...I kind of wish they'd stop giving us so many flower head pieces for hat gear and give us more actual hats. I'd like to see ear muffs but that would be difficult to do for races like the Au Ra. Maybe some more feather pieces or an actual Moogle pom instead?

While I still like Ninja job class I feel that its fighting style is too straighforward. It'd be nice if it had more attacks that actually helped inhibit enemies in various ways. Like Raiton could have the additional effect of causing paralysis, Giant Shuriken causing damage over time and Suiton being able to give enemies the vulnerability effect instead of Trick Attack.

I see that my quote in your signature is still accurate.

On the topic of another (potentially) unpopular opinion of my own - communication in dungeons is unnecessary. It's pleasant, I don't mind a chatty group and will generally chime in, but the idea that a tank should need to tell a healer that they're pulling more than one group (or not doing that) is stupid.

an actual Moogle pom

Now this I don't need to poke fun at, very much on board with you.

Lol, the flower situation is out of control. There are about 45 individual flowers listed on the MB. Why not just add the 4-5 base styles and make them dyeable? The inventory bloat in this game is real.
