In the end they were the ones left with the game because they had helped chased everyone else off, and in the process contributing to the disaster that it was.
    I don't think you understand... No1 liked 1.0. The sheer amount of fanboyism, white knighting, and absurd defense arguments during 1.0 was staggering!! It puts the console war to shame. I truly believe there are people that would buy a box filled with dogshit if you put a final fantasy logo on it.

    and it still is going on. There always is a fervent defender of whatever oddball decision comes down the pipe. From the sounds of it, the volume of oddball decisions has gotten smaller (which is good) but the defense of them is just as vigorous (which is not). I wish more people could enjoy something but be able to accept that it has faults.

    OP: I'm not a legacy player and truthfully I don't mind them keeping the legacy awards as exclusive. There isn't much in the game that is truly exclusive and them having minor bits of shininess seems okay to me. Had I not come from WoW, which was laden with things that came once and then never came back, I probably would care more, but Blizzard beat that out of me.
