And I guess the proper way to rebuttal when you've run out of rope in real life dear is to make extreme hyperbolic statements while that ship of your's underneath is sinking due to the iceberg of "reality checks".

You're gonna have a hard time in life if you feel invalidated because someone has a pair of virtual earrings just like your own. Real hard time. If I had a nickel for all of the times someone had something that I wanted, I'd be rich by now. But, unfortunately, life don't work that way either and sometimes, video games are no different.

Also its not like your 1.0 Gobb mount is being taken away or charged extra for subs or all the other excess stuff they gave you for sticking with 1.0.

The earrings are not related to the Legacy Campaign. They're a reward from a fight.

Even if they do add the earrings to the Mog Station...that'll only happen after another year has passed, in which case it will have been six years since the original earrings were first added to the game. That's just over half a decade. It's a very long period of time and most people will have accomplished quite a bit in that chunk of time. I'm genuinely worried about some of the vocal posters within this thread. It seems to me like the outrage is caused by a combination of addiction and an unhealthy desire to be praised for something that the vast majority of players really do not care about.

Things can't be made free in real life due to scarcity. That's not really a factor with digital goods you can "print" virtually endlessly.

I don’t think you can buy last year’s rewards (Lyse and Gosetsu minions if I remember correctly), and I haven’t been here long enough to know what the previous rewards were but everything available in the “past seasonal events” category seems... well, seasonal.

Perhaps I’m mistaken and the minions are about to be available to coincide with this year’s event. But if any event rewards are going to be unavailable later, the “thankyou for playing” event seems fair enough. (Although then a poor choice to make character minions the prizes, so... I don’t know.)

They're usually added once the event rolls back around next year.

You made a statement saying nothing matters cause we eventually quit the game or w.e. Pretty sad when people are confronted with a similar argument they collapse and try to invalidate it personal attacks.

You can try all you want but you know your argument holds no water towards one simple fact.

"Did you do the proper content required to receive the earrings?"

If the answer is no, then you don't deserve it. Simple simple champ. How about this for a zinger, you'll have a hard time getting through life thinking everything will get handed to you over the long term. Thanks ;]

You deserve exactly what the developers decide to provide you and how they decide to provide you. :D Be it through a fight... or an Anniversary Event.

Darlings.

It's been 5+ years since you've had earrings from a fight people either no longer care about or they didn't even know it existed anymore. Congrats, have a cookie.

I got myself through college with a Bachelor's degree, survived a car accident, work two jobs because fiance has nerve/brain damage from said car accident that wasn't our fault and can't work, survived my own suicide attempt, take care of three other people in my household, and still somehow retain a healthy relationship with friends & family despite the fact that any other normal human being might have actually cracked by now due to such extreme pressures. How's that for a zinger on personal achievements and hardships...? :o And not you or anyone else can tell me otherwise.

^^^^ Yea, I could say the same thing about your very hypocritical statement just above my other reply just now too. Very, very sad indeed.

I’m astounded at how many pages this argument has gone on for, I’ve been playing since 1.0 alpha, but I’m not going to get torn up over them giving out old 1.0 content items. I’d prefer they left the tattoo alone, but that’s about it. I’ll be happy to get the earrings as I tried many times to get a group together to beat that fight but we never succeeded and I ran out of time. I played FFXI since 2004 and they’ve handed out many items that were nigh impossible to obtain at one time but there is no point in being salty over digital items. You can always treasure the memories you made with your friends and that will never be taken away.

I don't think it is fair to call it unhealthy. That's human nature.

Why does it upset you that people have something that you don't? Relax

Is this supposed to tell me things in video games should be free?

I'm stating a fact. You chose to attack my argument with personal attacks. I'm unmasking your personal attack for what it truly is. Not the same thing :>

I'm not gonna bother trying to rebut ad hominems. Try something else.
