    I don’t see why they should change it

    The treasure troves are designed to fill the queues of lesser completed content during the lull and you are awarded old items for it (why they always put the MSQ roulette into it I have no idea)

    If you can’t fill those queues you are proverbially useless to the system. If you have alts in HW or early SB nothing you have unlocked needs help being popped so the system “doesn’t see a need” to reward you for it

    Systems should serve people, not the other way around.

    ARR players queueing for ARR duties doesn't deprive ShB queues of players because ARR players were never in the pool for ShB queues to begin with, and it makes the ARR players happy because they get to feel like they're participating in the event and earning rewards. It's only when ShB players are incentivized to queue for ARR duties that ShB queues can conceivably suffer, but targeting the mogweeklies at one's MSQ progress solves that too.

    It's a no-brainer.

    Because players who aren't to those points in the game yet are still going to want those rewards. Sure most of the rewards can be obtained through other means but certain rewards like the Carbuncle earrings are tome event exclusive and not tradeable. My first tome event happened while I was still in Post-ARR and I grinded in Praetorium for DAYS to get the tomes necessary to get the 100 tome reward from that event. And when the best option is grinding Praetorium for tomes, it just seems like a no brainer to alter the system such that they're able to actually make use of the Mogpendium. Save them a run or two, what's the harm?

    Like vetch says, it doesn't deprive the other players of queues for the Four Lords or Ivalice raids, because characters who aren't there MSQ wise yet, alt or main, wouldn't have been in the pool for those queues anyway. It just makes it to where characters aren't locked out of these rewards and actively punished for having not made it to that point in MSQ yet.

    There are also low level duties involved that could also use a boost. That Heavensward sprout could have gotten some extra motivation to unlock Qarn (hard) or Wanderer's Palace (hard). Same for Stormblood Free Trial players and all the Stormblood duties.
    Instead both get told "finish EW for its final dungeon lol", which will help neither that dungeon nor any other duty queues, including the ones for duties they might be able to do. They'll either do a popular duty they already have access to or start living in the Gold Saucer, maybe go Ocean Fishing every two hours.

    If anoyne is wondering how it's going, these are the weekly objectives my "just arrived in HW" alt has gotten so far.



    When it started I wrote a bug report in the forum, but it was silently moved to "not a bug" without any explanation.
