    ...yet. Don't wanna summon devils here, but...yeah.

    In all honesty - that's how it should be, in my opinion. These things are seasonal (~exclusive) for a reason, pushing them all in the cash shop for some quick extra change is doing away with all that. Am I full sad that any new character I potentially create will never have Snow's hair? Yes. Do I demand it to be available for purchase? No, I don't even think of it, it was a one three times thing, now it's in the past, end of story.

    Look at this year's event: 5 items, out of which the tabletop Valentione's Cake already exists in the game (from last year obviously, I think), Prismatic Heart Left and Prismatic Heart Right also already exist in the game (from last year). So we get a piece of furniture (look at the ratio of people having houses to use it!), and a chocobo barding.

    Dev team needs more people or a slower pace, honestly, if things are putting this much strain on everyone.

    Nah, the cake was added in 2.5 in the Culinarian's Housing recipes, I have made and sold a few since. I wonder if it was meant to only be added for Valentione's Day but slipped under their nose?

    I really don't like this line of thinking. "This is my special thing and no one else can have it!!" I want all of my friends to have access to all the fun items that I have access to weather they started playing at 1.0 launch or this morning. It's more fun when you can share these things with friends. But I don't like having them in the cash shop, that's just dumb.

    Well, other people will have other special things, won't they? I mean, I'm not sure I like that line of thinking - what's next then, if we go by that? Coeurl mounts and legacy chocobos in the cash shop? Gysahl rings and Ahriman chokers for 1gil for all from a vendor? Sure, some things are nicer when shared; some others though are just signs of an achievement or a kind of progress. If I didn't get it together with a friend because that friend wasn't around at the time, then that's just it, it won't make them any less of a friend.

    So much this. >< Sharing is fun! ^^ I like when they put the older stuff for sale in the event npc shop. Newer players would still miss out on the achievement, for those that want some of that "limited time" feel.

    Also, I don't see why my alts can't have old seasonal stuff. :/
