White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

People see unsynced as "poorly-handled?"

It allows one to get through expired content faster. Don't see how that's a problem.

People were grinding for months to get all the Ex-Primal mounts and Kirin. And then they not only increased the drop-rate, but also introduced the unsynch function. I can kill every 2.0 Ex-Primal solo and can carry a newbie through them and get him all the mounts in one evening.

That's kind of a slap in the face for everyone who spent countless hours in these fights to get the mounts.

And why do they make these mounts available for everyone / increase the drop rates, but then add super rare mounts like the Centurio Tiger, Astrope and PvP rewards? Doesn't make much sense for me.

And even the community doesn't know what they want. Asking for a nerf regarding the Centurio Tiger mount or Astrope to get them easier, and the people say you are just lazy and should put the work into it. And when they make things easier to obtain and you say you don't like that, then that's bad either, because that stuff is old and should be available for everyone and you are just a selfish person who denys other people some pixels for the sake of feeling like a better person or so.

Okay, the earrings were not available at all anymore. However, I am talking about exclusive / hard to get / trophy items in general.

Forget the earrings, that's the cutest male lala I've ever seen.

You don't see how scaling down content difficulty without scaling down content reward isn't poor design? I call it conveyor belt design, and it does nothing but harm player progression and accomplishment by invalidating them with every patch.

I can say without any doubt that the unsync system and everything that it has caused is the sole reason for the "I can and should get everything for free" mentality. Look at the Rathalos threads for example to see the amount of people saying "I'll just wait for it to unsync in a patch or two". That kind of mentality is extremely bad for the health of the game and the community, and the unsync system is entirely responsible.

They’re in the shop with the seasonal fireworks and Realm Reborn Red, so maybe not still? I don’t think any of those are on MogStation even if they’ve been around for longer.

All other seasonal event items are on the cash shop, I don't see a reason why SE wouldn't cash in on these items (unless they actually listen to the feedback from peoples complaints, which is doubtful considering the state of the game recently).

I will say this event has created some interesting conversations mainly around the relevance of the 1.0 status. I am in the camp, 1.0 was a long time ago time to move on. It was great that many of you made the choice to stick around with a broken game out of brand loyalty, I am sure many did enjoy the game for what it was, but objectively speaking 1.0 was a hot mess and many could argue that in the long run having such a blight on the record as a numbered entry in the series would have damaged the brand so they had an obligation to fix the mess and anything regarding comments about how it could not have been done without the fans and what have you could have easily been seen as PR lip service.

I expect to see many so called exclusive items being made available moving forward.

I just dont get it. Its an old item in the game.... woooopie dooo.... getting all butt hurt over bits of data that has nothing to do with your online banking account is absolutely insane.

Seriously do you not hear yourself right now?

Crying over a 1.0 FFXIV item is insane... this post reminds me of people who like to hoard things that is barely for sentimental reasons and do nothing with it except let it collect dust. I can understand if it was a picture or something extremely valuable to you because it belonged to a lost loved one... but for FFXIV 1.0? really?

Let 1.0 go.... lol 1.0 was a failed experiment that needed a full out calamity to kill it off..... mmmmmm LET IT GO

[Astral145]

LOL its a game.... I say just put everything in the tomes market. LET IT GO

Welp, I may as well chime in since I did put forth great effort to obtain those "White Ravens". I may not wear them all the time, but every time I've glamoured them, I looked back on effectively the culmination of my struggles and trials playing through ALL of 1.0. This final battle had significance, I can remember getting past Twintania for the first time, and seeing Darnus and Louisoix in the distance. What the heck was going on, I thought. I killed you [Darnus], TWICE! So while most of you new and old players toss your opinions out into the net, know that for some of us, that collection of pixels truly holds meaning; clearly more than you'd ever imagine. Fellow players, you should cheer the accomplishments of each other, not belittle them. Someone else mentioned this already, but back in 2010-2012, players DID work together much more, there was no "I can just solo the whole game" mentality. Our frustration is completely valid...

It's kinda derailing the topic, but unsync still shouldn't be an issue. Look at it this way everyone pays a sub and they wants to experience different parts of the game. Now let's say we have a few players that aren't great at raiding, but they like the cool fights, taking part, giving it a go etc, but they know they will never clear it synced because they just aren't cut out for the concentration and focus required, and they accept that. Should these players that then want to give it another go, (but unsync as there is less pressure) be locked out of trying the content in the future that they rightly pay to have access to? Some players can enjoy unsync stuff much more than sync, doesn't mean they aren't learning or accomplishing anything from it.

This is an online mmo, every single thing becomes dated with each passing day. We still have character customized that hasn't changed, graphics that come from a previous generation, and server limitations which... well cause a ton of issues on their own. One day the game will cease to exist, you will retain nothing except any memories made (and photos, videos etc), at which losing everything will be the biggest invalidation you could ever have. Let everyone enjoy the game while it's here.
