It's not so-different for you to want to get it back. You're not trying because it's ez now. It's like the people that towngear'd in usukane/ares/etc last year. Most of them got it last year, and yeah you can't tell the difference between a person who got it today and a person who got it in 2009, but the person knows.

If I accidentally lost my old haidate, I'd probably go kill that cat again.

When I first came back, a friend was helping me, and he synergized my haidate and at the end of one round he said "oh fu~..." and I thought he'd lost it. The idea of losing those silly old shorts made me instantly a little bit sick. Of course, I found out that they weren't in any danger, and it was some irl phonecall he missed that made him say it, but still.
