    So, 2.10-3.50€ for items that, if the cash shop wasn't introduced, would cost us a few gil (as it was in pre-cash shop events with past years' items). Good job, SE!

    It only appeared in the events shop for players that have completed the quests, as far as I know.

    This gives the chance for players who missed the event and would go the extra mile just to get them

    That is the calamity savager. There was another NPC that would appear during seasonal events to sell you items of past seasonal events of the same type (ie during the Moonfire Event, you could buy from him the items from past Summer events, during Christams, past Christas events items, etc.)

    Untrue - everyone could buy past event items in the in-game shop for the summer and easter events, even if they just joined.

    Also, wtf is with the prices? $5 for a single item that you missed by joining late? Retainers at $2/mo makes sense, they take server memory. Why are the items so stupidly expensive? It doesn't cost SE anything. If they wanted to put a cash value on them, why not $1 or $2? $5 is half a phantasia!

    Then you know wrong. If things worked the way you described it, you wouldn't be able to get the reideer costumes, the pumpkin heads, the red green blue gold silver bikinis, the plain yukatas, the valentine chokers and many more because they were from 1.0. Half, if not more, of the event items you can get from 2.0 until now are from 1.0. And SE gave new 2.0 players a chance to get them. Until now.

    This right here is the only issue I've got with their store. Those items were available for gil and should remain that way.
