    I don’t understand why people support recycling events over and over. I do support rewards being available later though.
    Last time I think they threw it out so people had something to do while waiting for the expansion. Alternative wouldn't be something new but just nothing at all because they're busy working on expansion stuff.

    And you know this how? Yoshi P called you and told you? Either way gotta love it. Maybe 7.0 will just be Heavensward again. No explanation either you just walk into Ishgard like you just finished ARR.

    What's worse is people will come running to it's defense lol.

    A recycled event doesn't take the place of a new event. A recycled event basically is just turning the old event back on, maybe tweak a thing or two. A new event has designs, story, rewards. I doubt rerunning an event is placed next to a new event in forms of "which should we do?"

    I disagree. These events were made up because they were a nice thing to have and add a little bit of depth to the world. Since the feedback was that players wanted them to come back again instead of let’s do more of these then in this case satisfying the consumer and taking the easy way out aligned perfectly.

    They want copy/paste. Let’s give ‘em copy paste. Win/win.

    Why as a dev scratch your head and come up with new things when people just want the same things back again? It’s a no brainer.

    Because it's functional content already built that some players won't have seen and costs them nothing to rerun? Seems pretty obvious.

    Opportunity cost is what seems obvious to me. I’ve never seen SE run double events simultaneously. But I’d welcome that addition no problem.

    They stagger them for 2 reasons:

    - chance to miss

    - sub money

    if multiple events ran at the same time youd not only pay more attention to them and clear them in 1 go, youd also only need 1 month of sub. Staggering them out means you are more likely to miss one or have to resub for one or you could run into the issue of having to buy it later in the store (or "never" getting it with how rare some reruns are)

    The FF 13 crossover event only got one rerun and it's stuff eventually ended up in the cash shop. I would imagine the 11 and 15 ones are getting the same treatment.
