Emotes in the cash shop..

[TouchandFeel]

I don't think that the issue for those that have it already is that we feel others should not be able to get it or have to "work" for it.

What I feel the issue is, is that many people feel they are entitled to the rewards for limited timed events from the past because they are paying a subscription now, while those that got it for "free" back when the event happened were actually paying around $15 for that month with their subs to be able to have access to the game and therefore be able to participate in the event. Those players already paid with real money to have access to get those items, so why should those didn't pay then now get it without paying ?
$15 is a lot more than $2, so as far as equitability in money spent to acquire the /bombdance emote, is it really equal to be able to get it at no cost now versus those that were paying customers in the past that got it?

Now dont get me wrong, I really dont think this is all that big a deal and if SE were to decide to make previous seasonal rewards available ingame without having to use the cash shop, I would simply shrug and be like "whatever". However, one needs to look at all angles, even those of the opposition, and all the factors when making informed decisions.

Wait, I must have missed a memo. Are the people that play now NOT paying $15 a month, yet have to pay even MORE than that to gain access to things older players got for free at the time?

I believe the argument being made is that those players were subbed and playing at the time and the new person wasn't.
