JP generally aren't as nit-picky about others gear as we are. I'm sure people wish it was them that won but they aren't going around posting it on forums saying stuff about the other gear they're wearing and how it would have went better on someone else. This website reminds me of what people used to think about Alla and KI in the old days. Now BG is this way too though so it's generally accepted in the new FFXI community.
I personally don't know, and I'm sure most of the people here don't but that BST could have been very new to the game and hasn't caught on how to make gil or play BST very well yet. Should just be happy for them and go on about our business but not something we do very well :)
INB4 my WHM mule wins Rank 1 and I get trolled to hell and back too!!! :D

I'm not going to say anything about the winner cause anyone has a right to enter the contest if they wish and this just goes to prove it's random. I'm more so angry that JP got Mog Bonanza, which was out of SE control to apparently have in North America for somewhat still 100% unclear reasons. It was my understanding that we were getting the Golden Goobiebag to replace the Mog Bonanza though and that only the NA and EU would get it. Not this sort of unfair treatment to certian groups that pay the same amount of money.

And technically the NA region is paying about 25% less than all other regions because the dollar is so damn worthless.

I chose Twashtar.
I figured the there's no chance of me realistically winning, but if I did, the amount of pure rage that would follow the screenshot of a Twashtar in my delivery box next to the Twashtar in my inventory would be worth not having a mythic (as I wouldn't have had one anyway).
People care soo much what winners do with their selection that there isn't a right choice no matter what.
...unless of course you already have the item and can't accept the prize anyway.

Unless I'm mistaken and the bonanza was instead that segment where they pulled those slips of paper towards the end of the 2nd day's live stream. In which case it could have possibly been a unknown number of winners. I'm more inclined to believe it was the numbered balls segment because it had 5th place showcasing 1 digit and 1st place showcasing 5 digits. The 1st digit for 1st place was a 0 so its possible no one won. From someone who actually watched the whole stream. The first part was for the nomad bonanza, and I guess it makes sense for the prizes to be lv99 with afterglow because the probability that anyone won at all is in the 50% range assuming active FFXI/SE JP accounts total under 100k.
The second part sounds exactly like what I would have expected of the real mog bonanza: they're drawing tickets out of a hat from a pool of people who were there at the event. Their prizes (and how many) are unknown, but I guess at least 1 person got a lv90 stage endgame weapon.
Huzzah. So basically they found a work around to their original plans of the "vending machine" winners in addition to the normal rank 1 winners of the Mog Bonanza is what you are saying?

The people who attended vanafest on the 24th were put into a real drawing and a number of them got prizes, presumably one of them got a "rank 1" prize which ended up being a lv90 end game weapon.
The JPs who didn't attend got the nomad bonanza where the numbers were chosen live by Tanaka at vanafest (and they only got to pick 1 number per SE account).
NA and EUs got the gobbie bag which statistically speaking has a better probability of winning a rank 1 prize. The rest of the prizes are more or less equal, the main difference being that we have a certainty of x amount of people winning any given prize whereas the JPs have no such certainty.
What happened is the JPs, the ones who were able to attend on the 24th, essentially got a double shot at goodies considering they had the nomad bonanza and the real life drawing at the event.
If you want to claim those handful of people have an unfair advantage, hell I'll just agree with you. Also I don't care.

I don't think we should be limiting the guy's perspective of rewards to bst axes "because he is a bst". It's certainly within the perspective of any rational person to say "Hey, I'd really like to be a great drg, so I'll ask for mythic polearm, even though my dragoon is level 1 and gear-less."
At least the guy had the common sense to pick a mythic I guess.
This is a good point. Getting a free Mythic would probably inspire most people to improve that job if they had mediocre stuff, or maybe the selection was made with the specific intent that it would be part of a plan to work toward getting a great BST. Getting the Mythic is certainly harder than upgrading from Perle armor to higher end gear, so who are you to laugh at someone for doing it in a highly unusual order? I say it's mostly jealousy.
Heck, I recently decided to level my 42RNG solely due to nearing completion on an Armageddon (from my 99COR) - I just figured I might as well take advantage of the weapon. Now in a fairly short time I have good endgame RNG gear, capped merits, and near capped skills. That's just one example of a piece of high end gear motivating someone to improve a job that was lackluster (or not even leveled) before.

That was the point of my post. Why is it so important what I win? What if I chose a mythic, and then quit a week later?
Kalilla highlighted why you're an idiot.
There isn't enough bold to highlight why I'm an idiot. 8)
Anyway, I did read the rules. My curiousity is more along the lines of "would the item be in my inbox and I'd be unable to claim it".

| | Hey gang!
Just got confirmation that things are still moving according to schedule (our "in July" time frame) and that prizes should hopefully start appearing in lucky adventurer's delivery boxes soon! I don't have an exact time for you for when it begins, but one thing to keep in mind is that prizes will be delivered in order, so it may take some time before all of the prizes are completely distributed.
We'll make sure to post once we have confirmed that all prizes are sent out!  | |
The sneaky and stealthy goblins were able to infiltrate the FINAL FANTASY XI in-game item vaults and pilfer a ton of items right from under our noses...
