(Request) Preorder Bonus Items

[Canadane]

Buying a CE is different than preordering it though.
Perhaps the people who only want the game on its own are care not for bonus items is small, maybe not. But regardless, it'll defeat the purpose of the preorder bonus items entirely if they're given out another way.

Tell that to mass effect 2.

Nothing of value is lost when a preorder bonus is sold later.

You can get digital collectors edition items far after the collectors edition is not being made or sold anymore, doesn't really make them collectors anymore, does it? So why should a pre order bonus be held in a higher regard?

I know you have a boner for exclusivity, but come on now.

You can get the in-game CE items sold with the digital CE. You can't get the physical ones.

Besides, whats wrong with exclusivity? these earrings are something that anyone playing the game should have, since you know, pre-ordering costs nothing and you clearly like teh game since you are playing.

If you are new, you don't really need the item, you should be going through content that will level you up as you go. Personally, i think they should stop giving out exp items as a pre-order bonus altogether, it takes no time at all to level anymore as it is.

You still can; from other people, but yes, I'm talking about the digital ones.

There's nothing wrong it exclusivity in places, I just always thought it was dumb that in FFXIV pre order bonus items are these precious gems but collectors edition bonus items are somehow not, it never made any sense. I think they should both just be purchasable after the fact at some point, because ultimately what is the loss except for the babies handful of players that pre-ordered purely for the bonus item?

Personally I wouldn't care if the preorder bonus stuff was sold at some point, and I say this as someone who hasn't passed on any of those bonuses yet. Sure, they might lose a little bit of their luster, but in the end it doesn't affect me much. That said, I'm also not opposed to keeping them exclusive.
