Add lootboxes to the game that contain Edenchoir weapons

[Eloah]

Technically, these already exist, so congrats you won, lol.

Just remember that most of them will just be fireworks and glamour prisms. Hope you don't mind spending real cash to have a purple gem over your head for a few seconds.

[Nixxe]

Thanks for the suggestion. Look forward to it.

Wait until you hear my idea for a dungeon voucher system.

[Seddrinth]

That you have to wait after the fact and those people will be lower come December when they need to wait again while people who do Savage get higher gear. Do you guys not get "catch up" periods?

Catch up for what? These guys will never step inside a savage raid so why give them 500 gear?

The other 80% of endgame content that isn't savage or ultimate and sees increasing ilvl requirements every patch because people will grind gear they don't need, which keeps them occupied and subbed...

This isn't complicated. This is basic design philosophy with respect to modern MMORPGs.

Yeah, the financial reasons are obvious of course. Non-raiders are the majority in this game. Obvious they pay subs so SE wants to give them welfare gear now and then to keep them happy. I get that. I'm just saying from a gameplay perspective it makes zero sense to give non-raiders access to raid gear when they have zero use for it nor have they earned it in game.

Better gear will always be useful for any and all max level duties that do not have item level sync.

That said, there is already augmented tomestone gear in FFXIV, so not having the actual savage raid gear is not really a big deal either way outside of wanting a dyeable version for glamour.

The best part of the "welfare gear" comment comes from the fact that the upgrades to said gear are in the raids LOL

Loot boxes are dead. The writing is on the wall. EA is getting sued across multiple nations, including most recently Canada, regarding them being gambling for children.

[Kleeya]

Lootboxes would indeed not be ok for the reason that many countries did start to handle the gambling for real money problem.

Instead, why not sell directly the weapons and all armors pieces ? Since the pf is full 24/24 with forbidden by the TOS RMT savage runs sellings, wouldn't it be a good way to get rid of them that SE begins to legally sell the same thing way cheaper ? If getting your shiny savage weapon was for something like 9.90 euros in the mogstation, all the RMT for the same thing at x00 euros would disappear. With kinda the same reasoning as those who want to bring the equivalent of Wow tokens into FF14 to hurt all the RMT gold selling.
