Moogle Treasure Trove returns

[Canadane]

Timing basically confirms Ulti will drop thanksgiving week. Unlucky!

The mog event starts the day after.

Actually chaotic evil right there. The only thing that is missing is a friendly

at the end :^)

The only thing I've got my eye on is the casual attire. Not much for the mount this time around. Whenever treasure trove comes around, I only ever grind for one or two things on the list anyway, so it's business as usual for me. Until they make me lose my mind with a big ol' list full of goodies I just have to have, they're not going to get much participation out of me.

If I might go into salt mode for a second, I bet they're saving all the f---ing spicy stuff as incentive for people to run outdated/obsolete content. "Hey guys, we know a lot of you are done with Dalriada/Bozja in general, but look at THIS THING! All you have to do is start queueing up for Bozja again!"

Just the Hades card for me, it's eluded me for years.

[weebtext]

Haha that's weird they forgot to put the Gancanagh card on the list.

But genuine question who are these events actually for at this point

For an average “i didnt start 14 in DT” player they will have the majority of the items on here. Shisui is a guaranteed drop and both high level mounts can be soloed for less work than how many tomestones these mounts cost

So the big reward for vets is another earring you can barely see. And all these rewards can be obtained by basically just doing your daily’s if you even still do them because they continue to give the tomestones to duties that are already heavily weighted by the inherent biases of the system. Like I joke but has literally ANYONE struggled to ever get CT to pop. So you aren’t incentivising the vets to do anything because they get stuck in CT against their will regardless of the event and sprouts aren’t struggling to pop it

Like who does this event benefit? Is there really a significant base of players who would have unsubbed but decided to resub for a doughnut earring

So... having determined that these events aren't targeting veteran players, you come to the baffling conclusion that it simply has no target audience?

Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, could it be aimed at players that haven't gone to the trouble of farming for these items?

If it’s for people who aren’t struggling for new content then putting it out to fill patch lulls doesn’t make any sense. If you offer nothing to people who are struggling for a reason to play then you won’t get them to stay and people who are already happy staying subscribed to do their daily’s get a few rewards that are easier to unsync then actually do this event

So they role it out consistently in long patch lulls to keep people subscribed but then offer people who are considering unsubscribing not much for the trouble instead always biasing the duties towards acting like sprouts are struggling to pop CT on a daily basis

So again I’ll ask who is the magical market here

They are for actual real live casual players who otherwise would have a hard time getting the items available. I have a friend who used the last moogle tome event to get a Fae Gwibber she has wanted for aaaaaaaaaages but was never able to get because farming for it wasn't something she could do. You may not believe that, but players like that really do exist and they really do enthusiastically play FFXIV.

I have everything on that list except the new glamour items, and have no interest in them, so I'll pick up MGP and maps because the way I play, it's easier for me to solo EXs for mounts than it is to get MGP.
