Indeed FFXIV has it's share of weaknesses. PvP is underdeveloped. Items are less interesting. While the non-instanced housing leads to nice vibrant neighbourhoods it also creates a panic that housing plot will be filled up. The protagonist is voiceless and I dislike the direction where the raids are going. It's by no means perfect.
But if someone spouts obvious bullshit about it, I will defend it. And if someone is looking for a feature it actually has, I will point it out. I think that's fair.
And thanks for not being a Hitei about it.
Only if you had been subbed continuously from launch to the 10th anniversary. If you arrived a year late or had to take a break due to certain circumstances you got jack shit.
I played from 4 months after launch, had to take a break during late tbc/early wrath and then stayed subbed from then on and all through wod and Legion.
I had over 10 year of sub, straight too, but no statue for me
its a retarded cash grab.
but there is also asy solution - blizzard should give the same rewards as bundle in shop for 69.99 . or more expensive if bought single
this would imidiately shut up everyone because then people instead making fake account would just buy it from shop direckly .
maybe thats their goal so people start asking openly for more items being in shop
the release timing does allow the accusation of an user-unfriendly cashgrab. although the game is in general a cashgrab (as companies have to be profitable, hm?), this particulary one is just purely business orientated greed, since most potential resubs have already been activated due to Classic release.
so the outcry is somewhat plausible, as fans feel forced to artificially push sub numbers for "Blizzney" just for business rankings.
it could have been a brillant move, if not for the very harsh restriction of 2 years inactivity, the 12 months and the post Classic release announcement.
personally i would prefer these mogs for archeology, but would accept a shop placement rather than the stupid clickfest of reactivating inactive account, cuz iam not coercing any friends to resub for my mog.
Those look good. It will prolly cause the old LF RAF thread to necro itself.
I got all the RAF rewards from that thread, looking forward to doing it again. Back then all that those nice folk required is to lvl with them to cap, provide them some starting gold + best bags, and some dung boosts.
Lots of new people who want the benefits, and many who wanna reroll.
Also lol at all the people complaining. If you do this right it's free rewards, and a few alts leveled up fast.
Can you recruit yourself like before? Sure, but don't come bitch to us for wasting money instead of looking for people. To each their own man.
Now I do wonder will the summon and bonus exp apply to classic as well? Don't assume it will on the day it comes out (8.2.5?) due to classic being fresh, but I could see it in P3 or later. One can hope.
Last one didnt as well?? Its 2 times in a row then.. there is quite some time inbetween them so it sucks even more not having anything there we could collect. No one is waiting on another wrath recolor we can just get in a dung if you get what I mean.
Anyway this was just an example, I was talking in general realy, but honestly the transmog micro holiday sucks and they could have done so much more with recolors that are only available on npc.
There's always been an opportunity for Blizzard to reward long term persistent subs with any number of perks, from free transfers, race changes or whatever after x number of months / years of playing, up to things like mounts and what not. (to my knowledge, the mount reward for a long term sub has only been done once?).
They seem to continually miss this pretty basic business opportunity. RAF rewards should be fine, but they shouldn't eclipse what persistent players are offered.
Ah, thanks random internet poster. I'm glad you know how to run billion dollar businesses better than billion dollar businesses. Have you tried to submit your insights to Blizzard directly? Or would that possibly interfere with what I'm sure is your pending application for CFO?
