Speaking as someone who is a V1 player but doesn't have a Star Spangled Subligar, I say there should be more exclusive items, not fewer.

I'll admit I have a vested interest because I do have some gear that (for the time being) is exclusive.

But it's better for the community imo to have items that are available for a limited period. They don't seem that special when you get them, a year later they don't seem that special, three or four years later you find that there are only a few people who still have them and they are a badge of 'this is what I did/accomplished'.
