New Mogstore "Supply kit" good will or desperation?

[Naomi_Sinclaire]

I'm more impressed with people who can clear current end-game content or have an achievement than someone who just decided to buy an expansion early. Not really the same thing to me at all.

Even those lose their value as the content gets outdated and then "anyone" can do it unrestricted.

1. Ultimates cannot be entered with an undersized party (unrestricted) party like you stated.
2. Deep dungeons must be entered in an undersized party to begin with to solo.. That's the entire point.
3. Both force level & ilvl down syncs, so not just "anyone" can do them, the Deep Dungeons solo especially.

I'm not sure you even know what you're talking about. That aside, I can half agree that the pre-order earring being tied to money makes it not as important as Ultimate/Deep dungeon titles.

Why are you being so aggressive? I just meant some other things people show off in town from content you can unrestrict.

Anyway I know how much pre-ordering meant to you, and that you really felt special having the item sometimes on a glam, sometimes in your inventory no one can even see. I hope you recover from the slight of others having it now.

I meant no offense, its text, you read it how you'd like to read it. I do apologize if I came off a bit callous, however.

This is kind of nasty. Like treading as close as they can to freemium mobile/korean MMO territory.

Then again extra retainers is already into the freemium territory. Repeat "GiL iS UsElEsS iN ThIs GAmE" as much as you want, but the fact is players are allowed to pay up to an extra 19 dollars (including their crappy companion app) to have 8 additional chances to get extra gil, crafting material and rare items without farming anything yourself/just logging in to check a menu. How much you care for that advantage is irrelevant. It is an advantage nonetheless.

Even if you ignore the gil made from retainer ventures, that is up to 1400 more "bank" slots for items when the "basic" inventory space is extremely limited.

I stopped believing on exclusivity in this game when the "exclusive" FanFest 2016 items were made available for purchase on the mogstation. There is a tiny disclaimer now that states "Exclusive items might be re-released" or something to that effect.

As for selling items on a subscription-based game, it was the players who requested a cash shop so they could support this game. And people keep buying so just do what I do and don't but stuff from there, or roll with the masses.

[Avoidy]

Can they do this with the matoya hat next?
Or, no, you know what? Better yet. Put this stuff in the game for people to actually earn.

edit: LOL'd hard reading this thread. Why is this the wakeup call for so many people? They've been selling level skips, story skips, retainer skips, extra retainers, character customization changes, old event items that they refuse to return in future events, exclusive emotes, exclusive mounts with obvious ties to in game raids, exclusive furniture, alllllll in the cash shop this entire time and you guys have been like "tHiS iS fInE" but now they let some newbs wear your earring that no one even notices (seriously, earrings are barely visible in this game) and you guys are losing your minds. Bit late to the party, but glad you guys could finally join us I guess. lmao

"good for new players" lmao, it's a literal scam. it feels tailor made to target a new person's ignorance about how the game works. This was explained better by macchi on a previous page but yeah this is literally some black desert online tier scumbag-scam stuff.

IDK what is happening but lately FFXIV is losing so hard in every aspect, it is literally 9 bad 1 good wtf?

why is this happening?

[CVXIV]

It's seems like a decent bundle for new players, or people that missed out on some of the items like the pre-order earring
I'd consider it but all I would really get from it would be the fantasia and aetheryte tickets, which I have a decent stockpile of because I farm them via masked carnivale every week and I don't really fantasia all that often.

I do wonder if this will be a trend we'll see more of and if it'll be Azeyma's earring next

[Bellsong]

"Why even pre-order!?!?" cries out people who ignore early access (the actual expansion launch) and the fact that they were going to buy the game regardless of the pre-order items.

Just wait till they find out SE sells the digital collector items...
