Glamour

[Avoidy]

I've spoken to people who were around for older moonfire events and they all told me that they were able to get older moonfire items there in the past at those moonfire events but after a certain point that tradition ended. Maybe someone else can confirm this too? I wasn't around for it.
In any case, yeah, I agree. I think most people would agree unless they were collecting a commission or something. Remember last christmas, when getting a simple xmas tree for your interior meant either paying a hoarder 10 million gil or handing square 5 dollars because the 2023 xmas event simply lacked an indoor tree and refused to give players a way to obtain one via the christmas event? Loads of people were bummed about that, but none of it mattered because at the end of the day players bought the tree on the mogstation and SE used that money to fund graha eating a taco or a forespoken ad or something.

no thanks I made that mistake in the past im not dropping money when I already pay a sub.

Sadly this common sense approach gets drowned out by thousands of people with disposable income who don't care how it's spent or what kind of business tactics they're encouraging because "it's just three dollars" and "I really want the tree/shirt/etc." and hell even I've done it so I'm not trying to be too hard on people. But it just is what it is. Every sale encourages this mindset and pushes the envelope further. I don't like where it's going because it reminds me of lots of really scummy f2p titles but also with a sub/expansion, but nobody else seems to care so here we are.

I am livid that somebody has a fancy video game hat that I can’t get.

On a serious note I'm not 100% in need of glamor because I make do with what I can get but I also understand what OP and others are feeling too.

They are meant to be temporary events with temporary items. The good news is that if you are willing to pay, SE is willing to forget that they are temporary and allow you to obtain them from the mog station.

Some events have never returned though and still haven't been added to the mogstore. (FF15)

The FF15 event returned once, actually, and therefore probably will again.

Oh I know it returned but I more so mean that it hasn't returned again and it's still not on the shop.

I'm not holding my breath. It makes too much sense for them to just move onto FF16 events for the purpose of marketing. Maybe if we're lucky they'll remember to put FF15 stuff on the mog store by then.

Just because it hasn't returned yet is not an indication that it won't return. We have plenty of precedent between it and the FFXI Iroha event that they have now taken to keeping FF crossover events on the backburner and wheeling them out every so often to drum up subscriptions, rather than putting them on the shop.

That inherently means that for the majority of the time, it will have "not returned yet", while having no reason to progress to the shop.

you arnt alone there is a nonzero number of people like me who think that all the rewards should be obtainable ingame as a baseline

its always annoying to see someone with a nice looking piece only to realize its a store or old event item, no thanks I made that mistake in the past im not dropping money when I already pay a sub.

Yes, citizen, I feel your pain. There's a reason why this meme exists:






Favor the road traveled by few.

I love it when others worry about someone else's cash flow. Hahahahaha makes me chuckle. I don't know about anyone else but every time I went to Vegas I budgeted in for a loss of cash. So if you aren't savvy to gambling horde that money, and remember you can't take it with you when you go.

Oh and ps.. don't order that delicious pizza today it's a waste of money just whip out that week old cereal and eat it because it's a fraction of the cost of the extra gooey pizza.

I mean, I paid to get them back in 2014 via sub fee, so it is what it is.

...but I do think they should move towards giving a token every year/every event that can be redeemed for one of the past event items. In this fictional example, since we're at 10 years, if you're down to play 10 more you could theoretically get all old event items.

So, do the moonfire faire in 2023, pick any 1 old reward from Moonfire Faire, one time.

I understand, but I hate everything about it. Envyposting sucks.
