    Sure, you're not wrong with that statement, however there is fair punishments and unfair punishments, the latter of which should be avoided when possible. A punishment in which the limited time offer is otherwise entirely unobtainable is unfair, this makes a "Buy one get one free" (A fair punishment) different from a "Throw money at us now, get x, no one else will get it!" (An unfair punishment). To make this a fair punishment all SE has to do is make it available for some kind of effort, like a long questline or for some amount of money on the cash shop.

    It really only feels like something because it seems like a majority of players who don't want others to have it absolutely despised playing 1.x, it's that "reward" for "suffering through 1.x" as some players have phrased it. No one made them play 1.x, in fact all you had to do in order to get the legacy status or get the tattoo was pay so much money to SE during this this time frame or just create a character during x time frame. Unless if you're willing to present me a way to go back in time and do just that with them money I've got now, it's a punishment. Which I'm fine taking if it's fair, and unless if you're going to introduce some kind of compromise for players to get it for some kind of effort or price, it's not fair. (And dear god, I'd hope none of you use the "Life's not fair, get over it" crap, that's a horrid idiom not an argument.)

    That's the thing, it doesn't mean anything other than you created a character. I've created a character, you've created a character, everyone on the forum has. I'm not going to go stomping around and saying I deserve a 2.x only character tattoo for suffering through 2.x, and neither should 1.x players for their troubles. I personally don't care for the thing, I think it looks pretty ugly if I'm going to be honest, but I've seen some players who are from 2.x and beyond who want it and some players who are from 1.x and are fine sharing it, hence my personal reasons for the "fuss and ..."

    Yeah sure, I mean, it's kinda bizarre to base rewards like that on RNG, it's a game where folks are playing money, they shouldn't have to be lucky in order to get some weird trinket. Heck, I preordered heavensward for example, darn right do I think people are being punished for missing out on the ability to get those minor preorder bonuses like the baron's helmet, it's silly to limit players 100% from getting something because they either lacked the funds or whatever at the current time. Like.. I'm sorry I didn't really know how much I'd actually like final fantasy as a series up into very recently? Unwilling Ignorance shouldn't be unfairly punished.

    Cool story, I basically wasn't interested in final fantasy at all til November 2014 due to not ever playing any of the games due to money issues or whatever. It sure as heck isn't my fault for not being aware of how much my future self would've enjoyed this game and the series.

    By the way, entitlement doesn't really mean anything any more because of how frequent the phrase is being thrown around, such as right now. 1.x players are being entitled because they think they deserve unique stuff for making literally spending the bare minimum amount of money and time in order to get some weird tattoo! See I can do it too.
