Did I say you had to beat anything? You just had to play the game. Guess what, people didn't, people didn't even give it a chance, so they didn't get a tattoo. Tough luck.

It is petty to actively block someone from options of customization because it may threaten a person's real or imagined sense of exclusivity or in the case of some posts outright blatant and outrageous claims of virtue and sole reason for this game existing. (Without even discussing alternative compromise options- some people just come in and blast the OP with self righteous nonsense)
Other options have been presented in this thread...and let us not pretend that SE doesn't make or unmake rules/conditions/terms as they see fit.
"SE said so" is not an excuse... SE can unsay or change whatever they want.... or are we all going to pretend that everything SE has said has been true, done as it was claimed, or never changed?
Really?
You're right, however, the legacy tattoo is not a feasible option of customization. It simply is not available and will not be available ever again.
Really, the OP got blasted because he outright openly insulted the entire legacy cluster saying "He did not care" how they felt and just because he wanted it, it should happen. That isn't realistic. Also, it is a fact that without the 1.0 supporters, 2.0 wouldn't have been created. SE has openly confirmed this via the Legacy Campaign as a thank you.
Edit: And yes, SE COULD change it whenever they want. But for a successful business, they need to weigh if its worth insulting a block of the fanbase just to make a small portion happy. Is it worth the risk? Logic dictates: No.
