Moonlet Earring :( i want one!

[Ophie-Mio]

And to that I'll continue saying no. You don't deserve it. I know I come off as elitist but I stuck around for the end.

At least you admit that you're coming off as an elitest but it doesn't change that you're awful by saying people don't deserve something. I've had numerous friends of mine that were around for 1.0 miss that last experience of Eorzean history because the servers were overloaded garbage and couldn't handle everyone online.

I'm happy that you were around and feel that you do deserve some recognition (which you already get) but allowing some of your items to still be in a retainer's loot table isn't crazy. It's selfishness and special snowflakeism that makes you want to keep them.

In other games you're told of the world's history. In FFXIV my friends and I got to experience a small part of Eorzea's history.

Good for you. The servers liked you enough not to continuously boot you and queue you. I'm sure many other people wished they could have tolerated all of that long enough to get some of those items but alas, they only have the tattoo, the earring, and maybe the chocobo if they were around for those events.

They may only be ornaments to you but to me they're a mark that I was there. I'll concede the moonlet earring was just an event piece before we truly knew what was happening with the second moon, but it was a small part of a much larger whole. If they throw that one piece into the cash shop, then so be it, they've already set that precedent with past event items. The horn and the ring should remain untouchable.

They aren't necessarily just ornaments for us. I played through 1.0 (didn't go to the end) and I understand their significance. Other players clearly understand their significance. What says that they won't respect the items any less than the random player from 1.0 who cares so little for it that they leave it to a retainer to hold? The moonlet earring and the horn were quest items and quest items can appear in the cash shop and have recently.

Learn to grow up and understand that not everything has to remain special for it to be awesome. Hell, the developers can even make a copy of the item, name it something else, and do a quest where NPCs put on a play of the final days of Eorzea. The quest items can be costume versions of the earring and horn and ring just named something different.

The originals can remain as special as they were and the new ones can be given to people who want the glamour.
