PoM Event Mage Discrimination

Newest show of discrimination towards mages and magic damage classes in general comes to us through the rewards of this PoM event. Look at the rewards we get from turning in these items:

Eve: Lute and Tamborine
Frank: 25 Ghost Cards
Hilary: Nothing
Owenstein: Nothing

Why, oh why, does Eve give out a Lute for physical classes while leaving Mages in the dust with no guitar? What is the reasoning on this, besides that they obviously always favor the physical classes of the game? They apparently value GHOST CARDS, of all things, over magic classes. Hell, two of the people don't even give ANYTHING besides the PoM's. Why on earth isn't there a guitar?

Only 75% joking. Seriously. Why isn't there a guitar?

Inb4: Quit complaining about free PoM's. God you always find something to complain about. Quit being so negative. SHE DOESN'T EVEN GO HERE. Etc. etc.

I briefly complained about this when I turned in my items for the PoM's, then I saw that the 3 day timer on these instruments is already running the second they show up in our inventory. So it really doesnt even matter that much. In the week this event will have been active, half the instruments you gain will expire anyways.

I agree if they were gonna be "fair" about it, they could have done a 3 day lute and a 3 day guitar, but again, the timer is already running on them so the point is more or less mute.


Most of the people I see in game are too busy abusing the event making alts to run them through IDK to run anything anyways, so the instruments wont be getting any use anyways lol

just for correctness, one of the npcs gives a lute, one gives a tambo, one gives ghost cards, and the last gives nothing.

False. Eve gives both the lute and the tambo, and two of them give nothing.

Regarding instruments, I was more disappointed to see the instruments unsealed and expiring as soon as I get them. I mean, why the hell do you need 6 unsealed instruments at the same time lol, though i guess that's just an oversight. And I wish they'd just merge Lute with guitar. Tambo gives both Pdam and Mdam, would love to see 1 instrument that gives atk speed AND casting speed.

But overall, I'm too happy filling my bags with poms to care that they skipped guitar. Not that there's many mages left in this game anyway. M/P 70 elite makes you loose millions of TP from magic drain, and apparently I'm the first M/P to report it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the first to even bother getting the elite...

And WTB 3 channels in Dragonfang Ridge. Drop to 2 FPS as soon as I get there :fie:

#Truefacts.

Anyway this was more a laughing at what dear god I hope was an oversight. And kind of laughing at what Darwec said, apparently Ghost Cards and NOTHING are worth more than the mage class.

And yes, it's silly that they're not sealed. Like.. what? 6 copies of the same instrument all counting down at the same time. o.O

Concidering the best way to build mage is with ALL the PoM pieces except chest, earring, boots and neck, I don't think they is any particular reason why anyone should be 'upset' about missing a 3 day guitar.
If you havn't noticed, Mage benifit from this pom event more than any other class simple because there is no other way to build mage for similar results. At least healers have mem gear now that can be used in place of PoM gear.

what? thats not quite the point the were making. First of all, every class needs stats, so even if you dont pull for pieces u can pull for a stat, and poms are a 4 in 6 chance of pulling a usable or sell-able stat. Second, they werent complaining about the poms, they were pointing out flaws in the other gifts.

Two NPC give "nothing" but Poms : Simply, they can only do a 1:1 exchange. (the others can do 1:2 or 1:3 but there are only so so much customizable NPCs as you may have noticed by the same NPC names reappearing all the times for events like this.)

Instruments not being sealed/distribution: Valid feedback about the sealing.

[ No guitar. 25% serious ... really? THAT is the biggest problem with the event? I'll add it to the feedback anyway, but really ...]

Tis an awesome event, Saito. Ppl done gonner hate bout somethin. Mages lefted out, instruments unsealed, alt abuse, an instances crashin seemer ta be the only thingers that ppl done can finder wrong wit the event. Overall, me done twould putter this event at the top o all events, me hast greatly enjoyed it, an hopers that once this ship hast sailed yer able ter finder another that can cross even bigger seas. Although the Anniversary events done kinda wimpered in, the endin here doth be shoutin, "Finale!" Well done ter the event team fer this year.

Because other than these 2, the event is pretty much perfect lol. So yes, that small issue is the biggest issue with the event. So agreed with Dk, you guys are doing a pretty good job lol.

Lol I'm not saying the event isn't awesome, because it is, but I just don't understand why you would give out a lute and NOT give out a guitar. It makes no sense. Why give out GHOST CARDS but not give out a guitar?
