C'mon now. That's not the same thing at all. These players are facing the same challenge the others did before. If you get better at the game you will go where others went. No outside force is preventing you to do so.

With exclusive items it doesn't matter how good at the game you are or how much time you devote to it. That's content forever locked to you.

I remember when I first saw fat chocobos around. I wanted one cus they look funny. Went on the web to see which quest or where does it drop. Then I read how this crap had nothing to do with the game world itself. Luckily I don't care all that much for fluff to the point of unsubscribing but it did leave a bad taste in my mouth.
