So... Mog Bonanza a possibility in XIV?

[Tracewood]

Just something that hit me today that many moons ago in XI Square held a "quarterly?" event where you would speak to an NPC moogle, get ten maximum marbles with five digits each. Either you create the numbers or let AI pick them.

After a few months, they would announce the winning numbers and you'd claim a prize depending on how many digits match. It's similar to the cactpot system we have now, where all numbers is the grand prize, then last four, last three, etc.

Prizes would range from ingame items, from harder content like Savage, Ultimate, Unreal, and with XIV this could extend to cash shop items, Gold Saucer items, even previous Feast/PVP/contest items (Strife hair) items that are no longer obtainable for the moment too. Now they COULD also create some new items but the players may not like the idea of something that seems only obtainable just by winning as seeing the housing lotto. For ultimate items, perhaps an "imitation" glamour of the same weapon, like when GARO had undyable tarnished versions. XI players didn't seem too bothered by randos getting endgame items but looking at other places like Reddit and Twitter, it's going to nettle some folks. Have to factor in the newer kind of playerbase.

Just getting a feel if people would be interested in this making a return in some form? Like during Moogle Tomes where we have until the beginning of the new patch to see if you won and you can use mog tomes to purchase up to ten marbles.
