Mogtome Rewards

[Altina_Orion]

First and foremost, I'm really sick and tired of the exclusive being an earring - the least visible glam.

Second, who is this for? You would expect it to be for endgame players waiting for the new patch - something to hold players over during the content drought, but it seems to instead always be for sprouts. I'm not sue I understand why this is, as sprouts are much less effected by content droughts.

The only rewards ever really worth anything are the MGP cards and maps.

Am I crazy or wrong? What does everyone else think?

It's an easy way to get the gwiber mounts I suppose for myself, but yea, pretty much pointless except for maps

Agree with what you say about the 'Exclusive' item, although I guess earings are the one accessory that isn't usually overwritten by other glams. Rings, for example, tend to disappear when you use certain gloves and necklaces when you use certain glams that have a high collar.

As for the rest... well, personally speaking, there are quite a few items I intend to pick up this time around.

I'm just using this to farm for if they ever add gear i need to farm it for an excuse to work on my tank achievements, or i just farm it fo rhte maps for whenever my FC decides to do maps. That way its portals all teh time and chance of getting end of dungeon rewards.

I also don't understand why there are mainly just earrings. I can understand that it's just a transitional event for the next main patch and mainly for new players. However, we have more slots than just earrings. Why not offer a whole set instead of selling it in the online store? Why not a nice Mog Mog hairstyle? There are soooo many ideas, except for just earrings. There isn't even an option for wearing different earrings on the left and right sides. That's the icing on the cake...

It's obviously not aimed at the minority of players like myself that did all the content when it was current and got its rewards.

It's obviously aimed at considerably more newer, casual or returning players that missed various content and it gives them a way to catch up while waiting for the patch.

This thread comes up every single time. It's for players who don't have the things listed. Someone may not have done Eureka. There are rewards from there. Someone may not have done Ishgard Restoration. There are rewards from there. Someone may not have finished all their mount farming. There are rewards from there. Someone may not have done all the societies and gotten the mounts. There are rewards from there. Someone might be missing a Triple Triad card here and there so they can get it this way instead. Endgame people can be in all those categories depending on when they started and whether they do things like just raidlog. And there are alts. Sometimes people have things on their main but get things this way on their alts.

It's a temporary way to get things we can already get in game minus the one earring glam item. They had a jacket glam item at one point but I believe that was a special anniversary or some other significant event so it was different.

I think the returning rewards are fine. I wish the amor sets were something harder to obtain, like for example drops from some alliance raid.

But I agree with the OP that the earring is kind of a let down.

I never bothered with the earrings, mostly because I can barely even see them on my own character because headgear and hairstyle.

The rewards are for more casual players but also for free trial players as they can get early access through these tomestone events for mounts. Like if a person is on a free trial account right now, they can get access to the ruby gwiber and the ironfrog mover mounts even though they otherwise can't access shadowbringers content. I can even attest to that being a thing for years, like I remember when my account was free trial and the level cap was 35, had to grind sunken temple of qarn 17 times just to get the Ixion Clarion (stormblood fate content).

While we're in here talking about the event and how it works, let me just say this event should be running all the time, with rewards and content tied to it cycled regularly to hold interest. This game was dry and crusty until 1 AM when the event launched, then all of a sudden people were logging on who hadn't been on in a week+, and dudes I know who normally spend all day gooning were actually making groups to go and play the game.
Game's got over a decade of content in it and the devs give their players -no- reason to backtrack and engage with any of it once it stops being relevant; they'd rather sit and do nothing for months at a time while players unsub and quit during the 4 month content gaps. It's gamedev malpractice. And it's not even hard to do. Just do more mogtome events. Don't even gotta reinvent the wheel. There's no reason to make these so rare when you offer basically nothing else in terms of "events that incentivize playing the older content available," but I digress.

I didn't mind the rewards this time, personally. Back when I played au ra, the earrings felt like a nothingburger, but ever since I fanta'd I've enjoyed them a lot more. I think ... in a perfect world, these events would be monthly, and there would be multiple unique/new items put into them. I don't think this is a terrible ask, but I know that our current devteam is given a skeleton crew because the parent company is cheap. This isn't meant to excuse them; it's just the apparent reality according to what's said and what isn't said in various interviews and things. But yeah, my "feedback" on this is that I want more events like these. Hell, take the Khloe book and just make it a permanent fixture tied to everyone's character. Then adjust the rewards so people wanna do it for more than the EXP/jackpot odds. idk. Just give my friends a reason to log back in.
