We need new events,

[LianaThorne]

They even have a system in place. They could go crazy with the mog event. Add multiple moogle vendors. A moogle mount vendor with reskins of all pvp mounts(don't want them to be the same), all trial mounts from before 6.0, also maybe reskin of certain achievement mounts, and any other mount that wouldn't break the cash shop. A moogle vendor for minion, again leaning towards everything on the table that wouldn't break their cash shop. A moogle for gear. All old fate gear, maybe one new piece, and series sets from PvP. And probably more. Maybe a bicolor gem voucher like we have for mgp. Not very many doing fates. For people upset, no I do not consider anything sacred that is old. PvP or PvE content, yes I had to get to series level whatever for gear, blah blah. Yes I farmed 99 totems for multiple stupid mounts. I don't begrudge anyone getting it from a moogle.



Keep a set few dungeon/raid/pvp. And every week rotate in a new bonus one. So crystal tower is a set amount, but this week Nier is a bonus one worth maybe 1.5 times tomes. This even should run from now till the next patch which is close to when xmas? Get the population back up and people logging in. If people are just logging in they might help with the blue mage group that needs a spell. Or the person that needs a few more totems to get the current trial mount. People will check PF and when server is more active people get more invested. I wouldn't do this multiple times. But we might be looking at two patches in a year almost, depending on announcement for expansion.

Would this be nice to have? Yes
Will people complain in waves about others having a handout to the things they worked hard for? Yes

Maybe in 7.0 we'll finally see some ShB mounts rolling around but I have a pretty good feeling that will be the extent of it.

I am not sure if it is just one Data centre that is busy. But the game is definitely quiet right now. People complain about every reward in game. They could also pretend this isn't a ploy to bring players back. They could brand it 10th anniversary bonanza. Think we would have something big planned and announced by now for 10

I'd say the tomestone event and the achievement certificate system were steps in the right direction only for both to quickly wear thin. They're just not updated often enough and veteran players have likely long since grabbed most of the rewards they wanted from the tomestone events whereas the certificate vendor is rarely updated.

I'd like something closer to World of Warcraft's trading post with new rewards each month. It's not like there's a shortage of potential minions and glamour that could be dangled as rewards cycling in and out over time to deter people missing out.

Can't do that, they need those items to fill the cash shop!

They take place in the 3 starting cities because that allows low level players to participate. They can even participate a little in Moonfire Faire by hanging out with all the other players there even if they aren't a high enough level to do the quests.

Put a seasonal event at the Crystarium and players who haven't started the 5.0 MSQ wouldn't be able to attend. There might be a few other suitable locations in ARR zones for some of the events to give us more variety but I doubt SE will have interest in placing them in later expansion zones.

Well I meant they could have an npc guide you there, like an instanced Musica Universalis or something.
Like how you need to talk to npcs to reach eureka or werlyt or gangos.

How do you explain to low level characters that the First exists without turning it into a major lore spoiler?

What happens to character still in zones they aren't supposed to have access to when the event ends?

Do players with the trial accounts or base game even get those zone assets installed on their clients? Some MMOs will install all assets regardless of expansion access but others don't. I don't know which category this game falls into.

It can open up all sorts of complications in a very lore focused game.

I still agree that it would be nice if other zones could be used for some events but I also still think it would be better off limited to the ARR zones that new characters already have access to.

Praying they drop new achievement cert items in 7.0
Its 7.0.
Maybe plop, say, an EX-SOLDIER Attire pieces on there or a One-Winged Angel set people would so ecstatic (and then they wouldnt need an ff7 raid series or event or god forbid making them mogstation items)

Squat Mashing Contest. Whoever can out button mash their way to victory via their characters doing squats will earn a giant Poroggo mount.

I wish they kept adding stuff to the Gold Saucer. I am convinced that doing so would go a long way in keeping things fresh.

I feel this expansion has been suffering heavily from lack of non-raid endgame content for the masses. I know Eureka (love it) and Bozja (It's okay) get mixed reviews but this expansion has nothing of the sort and it's really affected my engagement. Each update is only providing a few hours of content and there's nothing to grind or keep people busy for the months leading up to the next update. It's been a real drag.

Even hunt trains in Endwalker have sucked.
