Starlight Celebration 2024

[PaulusHamsteru]

I already own 7 christmas (sant/reindeer/snowman/choir...) glamours, decorated trees, snowy trees, indoor trees, white indoor trees, small trees, opened boxes, closed boxes, wreaths, wall/tabletops items, orchestrion rolls, mounts, foods, ice walls and walls, chocobo bardings, and I'm sure I'm forgetting something.

Still, this year they made something I don't already own from past events.

- 1x choco-barding
- 2x tabletops
- 1x wall mounted
- 1x orchestrion roll

If 5 new items is "only" I fail to understand what's "enough"-

I'd much rather get a mount and/or glams than a barding, orchestrion rolls and housing items.

I think the bigger problem is everything is given after like 2 quest max where they could give slightly more but add like a special thing to do.

I still remember one of the Halloween event we got a special and unique way of doing a dungeon it was simple for sure but was still a change!
I am sad they didn't keep doing those

I’ll admit, I’m one of the people who probably contributed to the normalization of the ‘two quest’ structure in seasonal events. I’ve started skipping all the holiday cutscenes because the lore feels so inconsequential to the larger story that it’s barely canon in my eyes. Even the event NPCs rarely appear outside of these occasions, which makes them feel isolated from the rest of the game. On top of that, I find it frustrating to be forced into a mini-game or FATE, especially since I have alts. The repetition just isn’t enjoyable for me anymore. I'm unfortunately grateful for the two quest structure and I shouldn't be.

because having yet another mount to barely use is any more enjoyable?

I'm not spending $45 on Twitch subs for a gimmick mount and some aetheryte tickets.

[Avoidy]

I play an old mmo private server with events spanning the entire month. Those guys make all their revenue off donations.
Idk what square is even doing here, frankly. It's embarrassing.

The fact that this mount is an existing mount but with the scarf color slightly altered, and then they ask you to drop like 40 dollars for it. It's all so low effort.

[Reinha]

A Christmas emote or framer kit would have more novel than yet another barding.

Also lol at the paid recolor Christmas mount.

Yess! I want a sled!
