"My time playing the game sucked and was awful, therefore you don't get my super special thing that doesn't require dealing with any of those awful things to get, because I feel like I wasted my time."

Seriously folks, for the legacy tattoo all it took was "make a character in 1.x". You didn't cut off your own leg or anything to get it.. You just got it by existing. It sounds like you lot are bitter that you didn't enjoy 1.x and want your special stuff for validation. Like heck, why did you folks all play if you hated it so badly to the point where you'd call it suffering?

You want your "I played 1.x!" reward? It's called a Legacy status (You know, the whole 9.99 a month thing is pretty nice), minor dialogue changes to the MSQ, and the fact that you played it. The Legacy tattoo, as many have stated before, has nothing to do with "dealing with 1.x", all it took was making a character during that time. But then again, keep in mind folks, you didn't have to deal with any of the issues of 1.x for Legacy status either, just make your character and keep subbed for so long of a time, neither of those require actually playing the game. So.. With the exception of minor dialogue changes to the MSQ, which requires like, beating the MSQ to a certain point, nothing of the "legacy status" or the "tattoo" actually requires playing 1.x, just throwing a certain amount of money towards SE during a certain time.

Most people in this thread are ignoring that people would have paid for it, but either couldn't for things outside of their control (Maybe they wanted to but an emergency came up for example) or just literally didn't know about it. I fail to see how it's their fault and then should be punished for it, it's silly to limit things forever by a "limited time offer", because it ultimately punishes players for things out of their control. Really imho, SE should put it on the cash shop til lets say 4.0, they could still keep it there, but by 4.0 they should also add a quest in game that will allow the player to achieve the tattoo. You 1.x players get your tattoo for another year and a half and get to feel special for longer because you got it for free and for being there during 1.x, new players who want it and can't wait can spend their money on it, and new players who can wait can sit around and then do some weird quest to "actually experience 1.x"'s events through the power of the echo or something.
