Moonlet for everyone!

[MatthiasS]

I wouldn't mind seeing similar items to Dalmund horn and White Raven either in game or in shop, but I agree those 1.0 players deserve something one of a kind. I myself am not a 1.0 player, but I feel like those that were earned their fanciness.

Saw the earring and said to myself :"haha, christmas balls for the ears! XD" /moogle shop closed and didnt bought anything

This of the three major things I see complained about (the other two being White Ravens and the Dalamud Horn) is the only one I'm actually okay with seeing made available again.
Though I wouldn't mind if it was a retainer venture rather than cash shop. :\

Just like the Moonlet was a reward for a 1.0 only event. I feel like now that they've added this, everything else from 1.0 is on the table and it's a bit irritating.

It's bad enough they added it to the cash shop, but it has the same name too? They could of at least given it a different name.

I think the V1.0 stuff has always been fair game, since there's absolutely no way to go back and play any of it. It would be different if they put some of V1.0 back in just to replay the cut scenes via some kind of flashback quest chain but I think people would rather SE focus on new content than trying to salvage old content.

well crap, there goes my unique item...so much for one-time event

See it's comments like these that wind me up...

OVER MY DEAD BODY.

I have the tattoo but I could careless if it's on the shop. This wall that 1.0 legacy players are so hell bend on keeping up is just dumb at this point. Just let it go and move on.

I think the moonlet was just a seasonal event item ... so just like all other seasonal event items its become available again.

The dalamud horn, raven earrings and survivor tattoo are not seasonal event items and as such should not appear on the store, unlike the moonlet they are 1.0 story based items and as such should not be available in 2.0 and beyond.

This is my understanding.

The only thing from 1.0 that I think should stay exclusive is the legacy tattoo. Everything else should be fair game. Why shouldn't new players get to have different glamour options? Do you (generic you, not specific) need that moon earring to feel special?

White Ravens weren't just 'glamour options'- they were a symbol of achievement. If you didn't earn White Ravens in 1.0, there's no reason for you to have them now whether you're willing to shell out the cash or not.

they could have a different design for 2.0 players >..> i would love a tattoo on my back to show i was here since the early beta of 2.0

while i agree with the white ravens (which was for beating neal van darns (hard)) i do not know about the Dalamud horn since it was a contest prize for 1.0 it seems it would be fair game if they put the bluebird earnings airman choker ect (basically other contest prizes), so i can understand why1.0 players wish to keep there hands on them, but most 1.0 players i know who have one of them or both only keep them on there retainer and to me it dose seem to be a waste to hide that item away and never use it or show that you earned it. and if people who have them never show them or just hide them away why not give them to people who will love to glamour them and show them to the world.

While I can't speak for others, I've used my Ravens in most of my gear set glamours since glamours were introduced :3 That aside, though, making the Dalamud Horn available seems a bit cheap since it was a one-time only achievement reward for people who stuck it out through the lengthy re-development cycle and completed the Sixth Astral Era exclusive events. It was supposed to be a token of you being there, which actually isn't the same as the Legacy tattoo since it was possible to be Legacy but not have the Dalamud Horn, just as it was possible to have the Dalamud Horn but not be Legacy. And Ravens especially should never go to cash shop- doing so delegitimizes the effort everyone who earned them put into acquiring them, and basically tells them that to Square Enix cash is more important than their feelings of accomplishment.

It's a bit of a slippery slope to say that it would make people think "Oh, well if they're just going to give this one thing, they'll give away everything I worked hard to earn, so why even bother?" but it would definitely come across as turning their backs on the people who supported the game when it was dying and in desperate need of life support just to last long enough for the remake. You could argue that they'd benefit financially, but it would be awful PR and really undermine their efforts to make the community feel like they care.

Let some rare things stay rare. Not everyone is entitled to all the same shinys all the time, especially if they did nothing to earn them.

This was never an argument I could prescribe to. No one can take away your sense of accomplishment except for you. Even if SE were to add these items to the shop right now, you and the people that were with you still know that you earned them the hard way and at least in my opinion that's all that should matter.

I've played my fair share of games where I earned rare or "exclusive" items the hard way only for them to be made easier to obtain after the fact and I've never once cared. So what if someone else didn't "earn" it the same way I did? I know what kind of effort it took for me to obtain those items, or titles, or mounts. I know that no matter what happens I'll still have the personal knowledge that I was there with my friends putting in the work to earn those items when the content was difficult. No one else can take away my experiences and memories. Bob may be able to buy the item but he'll never be able to buy the experience. His item might look the same, but it'll never hold the same weight.

But then maybe I'm one of those people who cares more about the experiences leading up to the rewards more than the rewards themselves.
