Haven't read all the post here yet, but I do sightly agree with you on this. Maybe because XI spoiled me a bit and we were allowed to craft the opaline dress set, so didn't have to marry someone to get it.
"Everyone has something they hold dear, something they never want to lose. That's why they pretend. That's why they hide the truth. And that's why they lie."
For anyone that wants to see 1.0 items stay exclusive but think it some kind of reward for staying with the game in it "dark times" that was your choice lot of people that did want to play the game couldn't because of how bad it ran. Legacy tattoo and discount sub price is your reward all other 1.0 items should be fair game, whether is some future event or just thrown on cash shop, as for past 2.0 events if it wasn't seasonal throw it on the cash shop .
I think a lot more people would be willing to accept that point of view if Square Enix didn't advertize that people should invest in a broken game because there would be a storyline and items that'd never be available again as thanks for doing so (including, but not limited to, the Legacy Campaign). SE didn't have to develop 1.18 through 1.23b while simultaneously rebuilding from the ground up; they could have just shut the whole thing down and taken the hit, but they wanted a fundraiser and a trust builder. There are people (myself included, though not to as much of an extreme as some) that would consider retracting some of the things that were advertized as Square Enix going back on their word now that it suits 'em.
It's still pretty petty to squabble over glamours, though, and the Moonlet was free for beating up mice in the right time and place. I can, however, see how some people could see Moonlet and wonder what else is on the table, easily jumping to the items that the Moonlet preceded in the theme of the Seventh Umbral Era.

Still waiting for my lv 1 Khecks that any class can wear for glamour purposes. <_<+
There have been a few major avenues for SE to reintroduce items from 1.0 as well as areas they have thus far chosen NOT to reintroduce them.
- Same item, different name. Examples: Racing Chocobo Mask (achievement reward) is the same as Chocobo Mask (1.0 achievement reward). There are some seasonal event items sold in the Cash Shop that follow this rule as well (e.g. Silver Tetsuji Usagi Kabuto vs. Silver Usagi Kabuto).
- Same item added to cash shop. A lot of seasonal event items fall into this category, and recently Moonlet, which was a sort of seasonal event from 1.0 which does not make sense to repeat in 2.0.
- Same item as random drop from Quick Venture. Every ilv 52 item falls in this category---these were the "trash" drops from 1.0 Aurum Vale and Cutter's Cry, which were 1.0's "endgame" dungeons which were speedrunned for Darklight gear. These can be found on the Market Board as well, remnants from 1.0 players' inventories. I've also heard that the Onion doublet set (aka Biggs&Wedge's gear) drops from Quick Ventures as well. However, nothing else of the sort has been added to Quick Ventures.
- Same item added as quest reward. I think the only one that fits here is the Star-spangled Subligar which was recently reintroduced as a reward for a Moogle quest. I think certain 1.0 items like Manderville Earrings and Rings of the Twelve might be ripe for this category.
- Promotional items (pre-order bonuses, Special Editions, etc.). These seem to be fairly set as non-obtainable. I hope they introduce something equivalent to Hermes Shoes. Still salty about not knowing about the XI+XIV crossover promotion, even though I was subbed to both at the time.
- Contest rewards. I don't believe SE has ever reintroduced a contest reward item after retiring it UNTIL NOW. The Scarf of Wondrous Wit was the reward for every single 1.0 contest (I believe? Correct me if I'm wrong?) and has been finally added as a reward for the current Au Ra Twitter contest.
- Not reintroduced ever. White Ravens, Legacy Tattoo, Legacy Chocobo, & Dalamud Horn have been specifically, and in no uncertain language, declared as exclusive to 1.0.
Yep, the $7.99 I pay per month. Oops, probly shouldn't have mentioned that.
Also the Gobbue mount.
Anyway. This is just my opinion but having lived through it, I feel that 2.0 would never have existed if not for the people that subscribed to 1.0. In other words, if 1.0 went paid sub and NO ONE paid, it would have died right there. So even if all rewards are taken away, I still have a warm fuzzy in my heart that FFXIV wouldn't exist today if it weren't for me.... and that is what Legacy represents. (you're welcome)
I'm going to burn in hell for giving them ideas, but I don't think they'll ever put account names in the end credits as a Veteran's Reward. That would be most bogus.
While I'd love to one day snag some of the rarer items (and that tattoo) off my 1.0 alt who died in the Calamity (not really, I just wanted a fresh start), seeing my name in the end scroll of a Final Fantasy game is still pretty cool, and something they should definitely never do again for FFXIV.
Don't forget your name in the credits. I used my character's name, seemed more fitting.Yep, the $7.99 I pay per month. Oops, probly shouldn't have mentioned that.

it also included to sneak past lv 80 enemies during the last 7th umbral story quest "Living on a Prayer" ^^It absolutely was not a contest prize. The Dalamud horn was awarded as an achievement item for having completed the Meteor Project questline, which included beating Nael van Darnus (normal).
