Keep past content out of Cash Shop

[Malric]

On another note, even if they did allow you ride mounts, it's not indicative if someone with the leaf riding a legacy chocobo 'bought' their chocobo, because the legacy chocobo is account-bound. Meaning any characters created on that account will have the legacy chocobo by default.

Very technical semantics that completely ignore the point.

Obviously I wouldn't well know how the legacy chocobo works, I'm not a legacy player.

The point was not in the technicality, the point was in new people that haven't even paid for their first month of the game having the same rewards as someone that paid hundreds of dollars and supported this game when it blew chunks is just not right.

Like being in AA for a decade only to find out they sell the "10 year" tokens at the gift shop. (Never been in AA but looking for a comparison you might understand)

I am a legacy player and I have no problem with putting vanity stuff obtained during v1.0 in the cash shop for those who were not around at the time. My ego is not so fragile that I would care if someone who started playing the game after I did obtained via the cash shop the 'vanity' items I had the chance to obtain in game when playing earlier. I have no problem putting every vanity item from events that will no longer be present in game within the cash shop, but any events which still periodically happen in game could maybe not have their items in the cash shop until the event no longer exists or will ever exist in future because in might keep them playing and paying a subscription if they have to log in when the event next comes around.

Event items that will never again happen in game however I think is very much fine to put in the cash shop. People seriously need to tone down their egos if they get offended by someone buying a vanity item from events which will never happen again. Not everyone who missed such events was due to not caring about the game, most might not have known about the game or was old enough to play it at that time or were in a position to afford to play back then. Holding a grudge and being bitter towards them for something that may not have been within their control with regard to not being a subscriber back then is childish.
