[Request] Add alternative methods to getting old Feast rewards

[Istaru]

You know, I actually miss the clown-car slaughterfest that was 8v8. You could just throw yourselves at the other team's axes/fireballs/etc. and it didn't even matter. It was just good, crazy fun. 4v4 PVP now is so much more formal and strict, although it's less so now than it was ... now it's just a button-mashing-fest to see which healer can outlast the other.

I miss everything about the old PVP in HW. I agree that 8v8 was nuts, but so much fun too.

Why not at this point? Put a stupid amount of marks for a price tag and call it a day if they want to be lazy. Or create rotating events to bring these awards back in a cycle if they want to put a modicum of effort.

Given the demand, I’d expect them to go into an event then into the MogStation.

If PvP participation drops enough I could see them doing an event that has slightly modified versions of the feast rewards.

It's so low as it is...how barren does it need to get?

My average FL Roulette queue times are around 45+ minutes during "off-peak" hours NA CST, and 23-30 minutes during "peak" hours NA CST atm. I was only in it for the Wolf Marks to buy the newer items I hadn't purchased yet (elucidate, hairstyle, minion, etc.) and now that I've achieved that goal I might also abandon it entirely soon since I'm no where close to 100 wins. May as well wait til the next update that gives the mode a jolt again.

if you want the reward, play feast, if not, dont blame anyone but yourself

It's Feast that's clinging to life support...not so much Frontlines (especially with that roulette now).

I'd love it if they made old rewards available again for the top players, but do something about the boosting/win-trading/hacking and alts clogging up the boards. We shouldn't need a community of PVP players to police the mode, but we've needed one. I don't think it should be the player's responsibility.

So the Itinerant Moogles are coming back around and one of the items on their list of purchasables caught my eye as tangentially related to this thread:



The Scarf of Wondrous Wit is one of several items previously offered as a community contest reward, and it seems it will be available for general purchase for the duration of the Moogles' return.

The contest rewards were often used as the other major example of an "exclusive" set of items that were otherwise unavailable to the general public, so the change to make this particular item widely available makes the argument for keeping Feast rewards locked away that much flimsier.
