Is it really so wrong that old vanity item can be obtained by real money? Newer players are paying their dues literally to get that old stuff and buying into the game to get that. It seems that is more than fair. The older players that have been around got the reward for no extra charge simply by being there that time and participating. So should newer players be excluded forever with no means of getting at any of it? Just what exactly do the player that have been playing longer expect to be their own entirely and forever? Perhaps the expectation is unreasonable and unrealistic?
