For me the reason I want it is due to the lore difference. While I the meta player did not know of or play 1.0, my character did exist in hydaelyn at the time (He would have to have, to be the age he is). I would like to play a character that had been at the past events, I like those events for immersion and the story, plus I roleplay a character from that time period. I wish that we could choose where we wanted our characters to be for immersive purposes. It is not really good to limit an entire storyline and character experience to simply those who knew about and had the funds to play 1.0.

Also noting that there are characters in 1.0 that /did/ do the 1.0 questline and whatnot but did not receive the tattoo due to not logging in at the proper time, or there is a level 1 character who did nothing more in the world than be created that has the mark.


Really it is a event item with a cool storyline, but if we look at it from a solidified lore perspective, the cases I stated above would contradict it. I would very much like to play my character as having experienced 1.0 events, even if I the player did not have the opportunity to be there.
