Zero new crystal items in the store

Not sure why they couldn't have added something to the store.
7.0 we only got the PCT and VPR items, but else there was nothing new to spend the point on.

I'm already capped on crystals, so I'll just end up wasting them on collars-to-marks conversion.

Even some old AF gear with dual dye channels would be nice instead of nothing.

I think I have enough wolf collars at this point to supply everything I need until death.

This right here is becoming unacceptable from the original concept they had for every series or every other patch to release new rewards to buy. While I'm sure not everyone has every single armor piece/accessories released that shouldn't be an excuse for SE to be so lax on rewards in this system. I think the miss in this situation when it comes to crystal trophies is that the the armor shouldn't be so cheap like 1-1.5k per item. It's not as easy to farm trophies as it is to farm wolf collar (which is also needs new rewards like tele tickets at minimum). Do what players have been asking and just break glass and release the old feast rewards. These things don't need to be cheap. It should cost 10-20k to buy a set of armor or the mount. This will buy time until the dev team can figure a proper way to consistently provide rewards to a system they created instead of leaving it for dead like so much other content.

At this point I'd rather they had a vendor to convert all this useless currency into gil. Except there's nothing to spend gil on.

I kinda expected the "funny" weapons to be a part of the system. (those ones from the contest) Would be an easy way to get people to try out pvp and get glamour. Instead they threw them in maps...

I don't get why they don't add mystery box. The mechanic is already in the game for grand companies and retainers. It doesn't really matter what they decide the loot pool should be. It creates something to spend on dead currencies.

That's a really good idea. Even if it's just stuff like minions or furniture it'd give us something to do, and give the ones we've already got to sprouts.

They really need to put in some big ticket items for PvP.

We have gone through this several times by now, anything from Series recolors for different sets of Ranks to alternate PvE gearing path to actual PvP relics etc. have been suggested.

There's also still no proper dump for Hellhound Collars or Commendation Crystals. After getting few Augmented weapons for your mains they just keep piling up. Just plop in an armor set with each piece upgradeable and make it more intense with each piece and you have a big goal for people.

I wouldn't mind betting the reason this doesn't happen is SQEX doesn't wanna deal with the FOMO howlers. And I'm not sure we want to deal with them on the field either.

Nearly 20 years ago, in FF11 (damn, getting old. . .) we had this thing called weapon trials, where you had to kill a certain amount of a certain beast type to get the stats you wanted on the weapon. If you wanted a defensive weap, you killed defensive beasts. We’re talking HUGE quantities. But after it was complete, you took it in pvp and got your moneys worth. Today, in the name of balance, we. . .have nothing like that. There are those who enjoy pvp enough to invest in something like this if allllllll these excess crystals were put to practical use to build something. Buuuut, because the devs know pvp is filled with casuals who would cry at such advantages. . .no such satisfying investment content can exist. Le sigh. . .
