Sure, keep it exclusive when you actually do something to earn it, time shouldn't be a factor deciding exclusivity. What did you all do? Spend money for your subscription and maybe a minor quest and you got the items.

Could you imagine what would happen if they closed off Coil because of time exclusivity? Is it okay to say "Nothing wrong with a little exclusivity" there too?

I bet all of you "It's exclusive and I got it so nyeh to you and your wants" people would be complaining for days if SE somehow managed to give a different set of items to new players. Like what if they made it so you could only be a girl Roegadyn or a male Miqo'te if you weren't a legacy player? What about if you could only make an Au Ra if you made a new character? Are you all okay with that as well?

Then the answer becomes simple, have the stuff available on some kind of vendor. At least you have to work for Ex Primal clears and horses, some of these events are so minimal effort that if you happen to meet the level requirement and can spent 20 minutes of your day you'll never have to do it again. Asking for the same opportunity to spend 20 minutes or at least have a way to get the items isn't asking for handouts, it's asking for the same opportunity that everyone else had, which as equally paying customers, SE has the duty to obligate in ways possible.
