Mogtome Rewards

[Gwenkatsu]

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

Indeed, this never made any sense to me. I always use the preview on glam items, and the earrings are basically invisible.

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.

I like this events. They give me a good reason to dust off some my less played characters to add a new mount to their list. And since I do not participate in any form of end game content, my main also always finds something interesting on the list.

If this makes me a sprout in your book - well, then I'm a sprout. Is there a way to reactivate that symbol on my character?

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

Even those aren't really all that great; MGP has a finite amount of things to spend it on(my husband has been capped on it for some time now due to nothing to buy) and the maps end up being an annoyance due to the mass stockpiling that occurs thanks to the mogtomes having pretty much no other real worthwhile thing to spend them on(it's not fun when you want to run Cenote for the cool new rewards but can't because all your friends are too busy burning through their stockpile of old mogtome maps)

I think they wouldn't feel so bleh if it weren't for how stingy the EW mogtome rewards felt compared to the ShB ones. The mogtome rewards throughout ShB just felt overall nicer and more worthwhile, by the end of ShB over half of the Kamuys had been featured and we also got an actual decently visible, dyable glam item with the Inferno Jacket. Meanwhile Endwalker gave us more barely-visible accessories that couldn't be Armoire'd(some of them repeats from ShB mogtome events), and only a single Dragon was featured.

Usually, I skip the 100 reward since I'm not a huge fan of earrings overall, but I like the coffee cup since it reminds me of my fav IRL drinks tea.

Also, I'll pick up any missing minions but I'm OK with most rewards so far.

My idea was they should make it like wow trading post.

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 don't get the point of the Neo-Ishgardian gear being mogtome rewards when those sets were recycled as vendor/crafting/quest reward gear in EW. The default colors are different, but I think that's the only difference.

It's ridiculous that it can't be stored in the armoire.

It won the armor gear design content quite a few years ago, so they tend to recycle the winners every event. Yeah, it's p boring as a reward since it's cheaper to buy from mb now.

TBH I feel like they didn't want the rewards to be too unique, otherwise ppl will feel FOMO, so devs decided well earrings it is forever.

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

Remember, everything to SE is profit. Therefore, minimal effort at all times by employing a skeleton crew. Which means zero time to make anything more complex than a tiny earring, otherwise we will not even get half baked content such as occult crescent.

First time?

100% agree that the reward being a novelty earring every time is lazy and formulaic but I guess that's what we should expect from Creatively Bankrupt Unit 3 at this point.

As for who the event is for - new players. They're "catch up on stuff that other people already have" events.

IMO it's a garbage-tier event for two reasons:

1) It massively devalues rewards for content by making it ridiculously easy to get without engaging with the content.

2) The game already struggles to give players enough to do, so adding a recurring event that makes content irrelevant is stupid.
