Most of your argument is based on the thought that all of my achievements happened in the last few days near the end. The Moonlet earring event happened before we even knew Dalamud was going to be a threat. The fight with Nael was available a good month or two before nearing the final shut down.
There was absolutely no issues being logged into the servers. Those final moments only gave us time to play around in town with unbeatable enemies. If your friends couldn't log in at a time where there was absolutely no issue logging in at all a month or two before the final shut down to get an item everyone who played 1.0 up to that point could have gotten with no fight at all from the server, then no, they don't deserve them.
Yes, it's being a special snowflake. I won't lie about that at all. The difference is they're special snowflake items I earned, not because of some stupid throwaway event but because I chose to stick around and pay for a game most people wrote off as dead. Those items signify a journey up to that point and are rewards both in the sense that they're items no one can get now and because of what they represent. You're right, there would be no loss to the significance of my accomplishments if they were re-released in the items shop whether they be given a different name or a recolour. I'd even welcome an event that recognizes the past - I think we had one recently, where the music changed to the eery redo of Answers in all the major cities.
I know I can't change your mind especially with your throwing around the "you're awful" and "grow up" comments, so I'll leave it at that.
I did say I conceded the earrings being event items before we knew where the Dalamud story would go would be ok being in the casshop. My hesitance to let those ones go are just my attachment to the event. My main issues are with the dalamud horn and guardian's ring.
EDIT:
After discussing with a close (1.0) friend, there is one way I'd be absolutely fine with the items being re-released. All I'd want is for the original meaning to be honoured. You want the Dalamud horn? Make it a quest where you're given the backstory of what happened and what the significance was. It makes me sad when I hear new players call Louisoix "that old guy," so a quest event where you're given a replica of what we got while also being given the chance to learn the story would be fine. Of course people would mash A to get through the text as quickly as possible, but that's another issue entirely.
Anyway most of the forums hated me before this thread even existed so whatever, continue insulting and flaming me.
