Like.. just because people disagree with you and aren't willing to just 'be with us', does not mean they are toxic or mean. It means we disagree with your points and will (or rather in my case, have) explain why. No, not everything is SE's fault, there's only so much they can do to get people who won't inform themselves in the know about something that doesn't work quite the same as before. And why? Why didn't the Moogle event end the same way as it always does? Maybe because it wasn't a normal Moogle event? Like.. it's not hard to think 'this isn't normal' when barely a month after a Moogle event ended we get another one.

No, the community isn't toxic just because they dare to disagree with you.

Some people are too prideful to admit that they made a mistake which, in their eyes, means it could never, ever possibly be their fault. That's really what it boils down to. I also think they are confusing the truth with a complete lack of empathy, even though some has been shown alongside the facts.

Honestly, despite what my first post in this thread would suggest, I'm not against the idea of them either bringing it back for those who missed out or something. But the fact remains: They were very, very clear. If you knew about the event, it's up to you to go to the page and check out the details of it - like you do when you want to check out what the event is going to bring to the table. If you had the time to figure out what items you wanted to get, what you thought looked nice, etc etc - then you had time to read the BRIGHT RED BOX that said "Hey, spend your moogle tomestones asap, they're not coming back."

What else could they have done? Flashed it big, bright, and red on your game screen every ten minutes?

Exactly! I'm not against the idea of them opening the vendor back up, at least temporarily. There would have been nothing wrong at all with a grace period. But like you, me and a lot of other people have said...they weren't vague on the details. None of that seems to matter though to some. We are just toxic and unhelpful, apparently. I will admit to being in a bit of a bad mood at the start though. lol

I don't blame you, lol. These kinds of posts are getting annoying, and they're only going to get more frequent as we dive headfirst into the content lull between now and EW.

They'll probably make it available again on the next mogtome event.
So if you missed the deadline, then just hold on to them and try to read the event details next time.

yeah, except if you go look now, the prizes for past tomes like this are literally just magicked prism of job mastery... lol

You can still buy stuff with Esoterics right now. Just...most people no longer have those after this long, and another moogle event that for the precedent would have replaced the previous exchange.



Also, for the people complaining that this was back to back: 5.5 and the end of Esoterics was April 12th, the start of Pagaentry was May 14th.
People would have had over two months of time to spend tomes after they were locked off from earning them, and most of the people in the thread aren't even asking for that long.

Having the warning for the timer being a blurb that is easy to miss on the event page did not help either, since they decided to give more attention to where the vendors are than the fact that the exchange will be limited. It is super easy to scroll past that assuming you were familiar with how previous events worked and just scrolled to the actual item list. While it is our responsibility to read everything, there's a lot of reasons why it's easy to make the mistakes people did. The start and end date at the top of the page are the same as any of the other Moogle Tome events, even though they could have easily added that the exchange was limited time there as well.


The in-game text also did not make notice of that addition either, and while we could have been on the forums, watching the official Final Fantasy twitter page, or re-reading the full event page repeatedly, those are not reasonable expectations for an event so similar to previous ones. They could have added a timer for exchange to the vendor window like a lot of gacha games do even just to give a transparent in-game timer. They already do timers for some vendors (including Custom Deliveries) that are visible and would have helped remove confusion.

Even after that, this thread is less about saying it's all on Sqenix, and more just people asking for mercy on an event that had them grind for a month.
So if anyone at Sqenix is reading this, please, give us a grace turn-in time.
If you want to limit or remove some marketable items that's fine, just please let people spend their tomes on the un-tradeables at least.
