Moogle Treasure Trove returns

[Astronis]

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

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.
