Ishgardian Restoration world visit.

Honestly just make it so you have to contribute 7500 points before the fates spawn to be able to particpate or get booted out of the firmament until fate is over. This would keep people who actually contributed to the effort, slow down any off world people as they are forced to do a fair few crafts to participate per world.

7500 points would be less than a 100 lv 70 crafts with highest rating as an example how easy it is.

As other have said, that's a bit high. Also bear in mind some may be handing in the level 20 crafter stuff, which will be waaaay less points.
But something like 20 hand-ins buying access to a single CE on that server (resetting on world move) would at least stop casual theft-tourists, and force folk to leave and gather or buy materials to contribute on a continuous basis, interrupting the FATE-train flow consistantly; a the same time, being achieveable by even a newbie with no crafter over 20 and limited time to play (or time before the next CE).

Why is it when we try to find solutions people give extreme solutions? That is probably over 2000 items to gather at lvl 70 and many people do not have that time. So then people would have to stockpile and then contribute and hope the fate pops while still online? Come now... that would make the opposite problem where people just opt out once they got the items they need through scrips. Or just skip the whole event entirely bc the hassle is not worth the rewards.

I'd say a contribution of 500 points should be cool enough.
Most of the server jumpers just camp without putting in a single craft.

Additionally this content is for those who have completed Ishgard. So its actually pointless for most lvl 20 crafters unless its owned by a veteran who doesnt craft in the first place.
The content is gated for Midtier and above players.
I have characters in different servers who have not started Ishgard but crafters are at 50 already.
Additionally Yellow scriping is faster and more rewarding. The only advantage is the glam, mount and pose for Ishgard scrips.

Who are you to say something is a failure when you're not the one seeing SE's profits or internal data for XIV? Edit: Heck, it hasn't even been 72 hours!

I said, "complete failure to consider the reprocussions of certain scenarios".

[SerLuke]

I agree this is an issue too but we should direct all posts about this to one large thread that way it will have higher visibility to the devs

Malboro is a pretty small server and there’s only so much crafting I can stomach. It stinks that healthy sized servers are suffering from world hoppers but I am glad that Balmung can hop over and help us progress and Malboro probably isn’t the only server that will benefit by larger servers wanting those extra scrips.

I don't see the problem. I did the event once and you do get 500 scripts but with there being no cap to scripts you can just easily get that from crafting level 80 stuff. But if you're not level 80 then I can certainly see it being a PITA. But then again it's just for cosmetic items really. Had I known this event was coming about a month 1/2 ago I wouldn't have leveled my crafts to level 80 until now. Of course, this is just my 2 cents I know some people love aesthetics.

thye are like eureka afkers, they do nothing to spawn the fate but will be there to take all the rewards but it's even worse than that because they prevent people who actually made it pop enter the area.

I get that but I can easily clear more than 500 scripts in an hour 8 span in just an hour of gameplay. I merely see fate as a small bonus to getting scripts. I just happened to be there when it happened and I was curious and therefore participated. After it was said it done though it was a clusterf--- and thought it was poorly implemented, the fate itself that is. Yes I got scripts but I get 58 scripts per turn in I gathered for about 20mins getting mats and crafted them and got about 20 beds crafted netting me 1,160 scripts.

I was actually hoping I'd get a bonus to the event such as first access to the ishgard housing when they launch it thanks to my contribution.

yes, it's not a big reward for veteran crafters but it's huge for new ones who make the lower level items which give like 8 scripts?
