[Request] Add alternative methods to getting old Feast rewards

[Stormfur]

At least the contest rewards are the same things made available through different events. Sometimes drawings...sometimes screenshots...sometimes poems or stories. That would be like making pvp rewards available through pvp, but also gold saucer, front lines, potd and so on.

What emotion and desire? SE said these rewards are top 100 players only and only available for a limited time. Items should stay as advertised. Top 100 rewards for top 100 players. And if you are going to claim that is emotion and desire, then merely implying right or wrong is referencing a emotion and desire. You can't sit there and say without "emotion and desire" and then ask me how it is "wrong" when objectively right or wrong is based on how people feel about it. At that point your question is self conflicting. There isn't much more to say to you on this matter. Find another point to debate.

You are getting slightly combative, I am being civil here no need to be combative. When I used the word wrong I was using it the context of breaking an established rule or agreement, no so much as emotion. Is it fair to say your established rule / agreement is based around an agreement between the PvP community and Square Enix? If that is the case in theory if square were to alter the agreement, would you have an issue with it? Or is Square not free to make alterations to the agreement? Would it be fair it the alternations were meant for future rewards only?

Edit: Not here to debate, more so have a friendly discussion. Figured enough people were being hostile towards you so why add to the crowd.

If me telling you your question had conflicting statements and didn't make sense, then there isn't much I can do. Telling people they are wrong I guess is combative?

Regardless of that, you stating something is wrong is inserting feeling. If something is wrong then you feel that it is wrong. And yes, SE has made it abundantly clear that these rewards are exclusive to top 100 players and time exclusive through numerous blogs and announcements and is still true to this very day.

Also, I find your questions rather rhetorical. Would breaking a promise be wrong? I think we both know the answer to that question.

Snip.

Since you're on Chaos I will only speak about Chaos. We had one rank seller that tried to get one account on the board last season and that guy didn't even place Top100 in the end. Where are the cheaters? I have yet to experience one and I played 6 out of 8 seasons. If you mean wintraders then yes but even those can be counted on the fingers of one hand and are in the lower tier. Throwers? Yes and again there's like only 2 who threw on purpose because of personal issues with someone in the same team. I hope you're not mixing up throwers with some unranked/bronze people who just go into Feast to farm wolf marks (which is an issue imo).

Spamming matches does not help you to get a higher rating. It does on paper but reality is it won't get you anywhere - exceptions prove the rule.

I agree with you on the "sit on a rating" last seasons but you still saw many people going minus and plus in points. The current season is quite different tho. You don't see people going minus because SE changed what the leaderboard shows. Only your highest rating is shown on the leaderboard atm. That doesn't mean people aren't playing tho. Jump into WPD Discord or check out streams at peak times (if you don't want to queue or aren't on a higher tier) and you will see the majority is playing alot. No one is blocking the queue by not queuing.

Going by the leaderboard as of right now [24.06.2018 02:45am] I can tell you there's only one alt in Top100.

I am talking about the whole of FF14 not only chaos. And there is at least one big european FC that sells high ranks and even has some of their member saying in a video that they are using cheats in PVP. I mean there is a thread in the PVP forum that exactly talks about the problem and that it seemingly got even worse. And there is a post on reddit that also talks about this.

I am not saying that 50% or something of the top ranks are cheating, but as long as even a couple of cheaters exist, as long as rank decay exist and as long as some people putting their alts in the rank..you cant call it a competition. Because every single one of those are people that are taking highly limited mounts away.
