This feels like a terrible comparison. The Ashbringer had a pretty huge amount of lore behind it, and was involved in several notable feats in the game, like freeing the Death Knights of Acherus from the Lich King's control and shattering Frostmourne. It was also teased multiple times, especially through the Corrupted Ashbringer in Vanilla Naxxramas (there was even a placeholder item buried in the game code for it, but it was never used and had no stats or function if someone cheated it in). The PVP armor is.....a random set of armor, with no story or buildup behind it.Quote:

I like having people walk up to me and compliment me on it, or is like, how I got it. Also it goes with my POTD weapons and I loooove POTD. Once it becomes readily accessible. It's like "oh well", it stops being unique. My post is something unique will become oversaturated and lose it's "cool" factor. Now, this isn't true for the ultimate weapons, they will always remain cool. For lore reasons. (well, the importance of Ultima in FF) games, but with a special armor set, it's like, big whoop. We all have this. The Ash Bringer was a stretch. But it's the only example I could find where something became accessible and everybody started using it. A better comparison could probably be uh, mind helping me here?
As a previous WoW player, it's the only example I could find. Maybe you're running with a bad comparison I made to discredit my opinion. Despite how valid your argument is, my point is clear. -

I think they said at least the newer PvP rewards will eventually be brought back. Not sure about old Feast rewards, though.

Honestly, if they bring back the set, I'll live. Being that it's perfect as POTD glam, so I will still continue to wear it. It just sucks I was late to FFXIV to get the rated pvp glam and this is the closest to exclusive I can get. Also I ran out of spoons for this topic, so that's that too.
I made all my points, and my feelings about it are still valid. So I have no reason to argue anymore. -

Zero interest in PVP personally. Just chiming in to add my two cents: the existence of rewards/content that other people get that I don't due to lack of interest/participation doesn't upset me. Applies to savage stuff, pvp stuff, hunt stuff, mentor stuff, etc.
Will I be mildly annoyed that I don't have the shiny cool thing that person X has? Sure, but X put in the time and effort to do something I didn't want to to get that thing. My annoyance is only really at myself for not investing the requisite work to get the thing.
If there were like, gameplay things locked behind grinded content (something like a raid series that is locked behind completing 100 pvp matches - no this wouldn't happen, but this is the kinda thing I'm talking about), I might care more? But it's all just visual stuff.
There is no promise to you, the player, that you will get every unique item available to glam your stuff. As much as some people believe otherwise, the game is NOT, in fact, a mindless fashion simulator. Note I specify mindless, in that I mean you can't just get whatever particular item(s) you "need" to complete a "look", though of course I know glam is the true endgame... But that endgame requires grinding whatever content (or buying off the MB from someone else who did so) contains the thing you want. -

My biggest issue is anything involving FOMO
I dont mind things being exclusive to a mode now, but them disappearing entirely after really bugs the hell out of me
Ults take a lot of time and effort but the rewards will never disappear as the ult wont
Just want alt ways of getting it, with an obscene large amount of crystals or collars , after the fact
