What do you think of this? (Making seasonal events not sellable on MB)

No. For the first year and a half, old holiday reward items were on a vendor accessible by everyone (even those who were not present for the last one).

Yup, precisely.

Once ARR was established, any events after that window gave items that wouldn't be reobtainable.

It counters your point so of course you dismiss this. xD

@Alimdia: I agree that selling furniture on the store and making the event furniture in-game not tradeable is a really crappy tactic and not okay.

How much does it really cost for SE to include past seasonal items in game at a special not vendor...why should the items go to the cash shop...??? Money grab??? Kinda really sucks because it's no different than RMT.

But the original topic said "seasonal event stuff", and did not specify it excluded outfits.

Honestly, I just think that all seasonal event stuff (everything, including outfits) should be obtainable on the Market Board if someone posts it to sale. All items (including furniture) should be purchasable for gil from the Calamity Salvager if you did the content.

Then if you did the content, you could just buy the item for gil and sell on the marketboard. Those who took part get some gil, those who missed it can still enjoy the items.

All this exclusivity is pretty annoying TBH, and not something I'd expect from a game that markets itself as accessible.

It becomes even worse, in my opinion, when the items are posted on the cash shop - it's now not only not accessible, but it's also emulating a F2P game. If I wanted a F2P game, I wouldn't be paying $15 per month.
