White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

[alimdia]

The White Ravens are completely unrelated to the Legacy Campaign.
Many people seem to be confusing these to belong together.

This isn't about legacy anything. It's simply about a raid reward that people got after completing the fight for the fights sake. The reward was not expected going into the fight, it was awarded for their accomplishments after the fact, not unlike how real medals are given out.

I've mentioned this several times and you keep ignoring it, every old content and every old event has had rewards made more accessible, we even have a lot of 1.x items currently available in the game. So tell me, why should these earrings be any different if they aren't even part of the legacy campaign?

Do you guys know why people won't answer whether or not they DESERVE this item despite the fact they did not DO the fight???

Because they know that the moment they say "no I do not deserve it" that the whole idea that these items should have been released in this event would have been silly.

They all try to conflate the issue with irrelevant details like "it doesn't matter earrings" or "the devs are free to do w.e they want despite community opinion."

In the end, they all know that they don't deserve it, they don't want to admit it because they don't want anyone to have anything that resembles a status symbol because it makes them feel bad. Makes me sad. :*(**

Someone gave you a good answer before, that fight has an equivalent in T9 and T9 savage that many people cleared, and I'm using equivalent loosely here because as far as I know T9 was mechanically harder.

It's not the same fight? I even specified the fight. Not so good a answer anymore huh? LOL

Sorry I didn't mean to dismiss or ignore anything.
Ultimate fights haven't been made any easier. Their ilvl locked, and as far as we know won't be unsyncable. These fights will retain their challenge and the rewards their merit. (at least unless SE decides to let us unsync these afterall)
Other 1.x items weren't part of a savage-like tier fight. They weren't even offered as a reward when signing up to do this. It was awarded to players covertly afterwords as thanks for doing the best of the best. By all accounts, it's a trophy status item. Ifrits Battleaxe is not a trophy item, for example. Sure it was in 1.0, but the fight was not intended to be near impossible like some others are.

To the people who have been arguing the position that they should have stayed what they were, as someone who has them and uses them in all her outfits, thank you. Good luck to you all, I’m not going to bother.

I personally gave up on explaining anything to this “community” sometime ago.

[Mahrze]

That comes next year when they are added for $5.00 or whatever like all event items.

And we'll see this topic be back all over again.

I never said it was juvenile to care about one's accomplishments. I said it was juvenile to need the world to care about them to value them yourself.

It seems I'm in the process of getting ganged up on by rather careless readers though, so I'll take my leave. Communication is bound to be a fruitless endeavor when dealing with people who would rather win an argument than understand what was said.

This game's forums/community in a nutshell.

Well, unofficial sources have it that they changed the number of required tokens to 50 about a week ago. (was prev 10).

So there? Some quest/fate grind to do for an hr or so should suffice for us non-legacy players to get it, right? /s

I don't think Miste was picking on you, Nixxe.

I also understand the point of having something named as a replica.

[Coombah]

How convienient.


For others, those items are all they have left of the community they originally had, before the changes to the game eventually bled them away.

I absolutely agree as a 1.0 player who stuck with game since 1.0 beta.. everything thing that meant something has slowly be trashed, watered down, sold for a quick buck. The 1.0 player base is frankly what kept this whole thing alive even after the servers went down twice(once for natural disaster and once for the ending of 1.0) I think this move along with others is wrong by hey that’s my 2cents and Gath’s Is worth more than mine.

(1.0 forum joke). I think replicas would be more appropriate than the actual item though it is lazy.

Honestly by supporting a bad game for that long you only validated the ffxiv 1.0 mess for much longer then it should have lasted.

It was Yoshi P who saved 14 and if he feels it worthy to include a 1.0 item in this event then you really have no reason to complain and you also have been paying less for your sub the past 5 years which is more thanks then 1.0 players are deserved IMO.
