I'm not going to whine and make the billionth forum post begging SE.

You are arbitrary putting lines down when they are the same thing: Exclusive items that you got if you were playing at the time and did the requirement. If you didn't you missed out.

Tough luck, please stop acting like children who didn't get their candy.
I can't see how your name-calling applies to me. You accused someone of disagreeing with you only because they didn't have the items and were jealous. I replied to show that I disagree with you despite having the items in question. I don't even use most of them, because I don't like the way they look. That doesn't mean I can't sympathize with those who never had a chance to get them, or who were subscribed during the last reiteration of the event but never managed to get to level 46 in time.

Yes, 2.x is an upgrade of 1.x, but while you can log into the game and play without having bought 3.0, you can't log in with just a 1.x copy of the game (though all 1.x owners got a free upgrade to 2.x). The world as it was in 1.x is gone. The world as it was in 2.x is still there, as long as you haven't played through it all yet. Not all items from 1.x still exist; many of them (I can't say how many, since I'm not a legacy player) were 'ruined in the aftermath of the calamity'.

I don't count Dalamud minion as a 2.x item -- it's an item you got as a bonus for buying merchandise. Someone who wasn't subscribed could have bought said merchandise and gotten the minion code -- no way of utilizing it until they got a subscription, of course, but they could still have the code (i.e. the minion). It's comparable to pre-orders, though. If you bought the merchandise (or game) during a certain period, you got the bonus. (Note: I'm not trying to argue that you're wrong, since you're certainly entitled to your opinion, I'm merely explaining my opinion on it.)

Most event items have wound up on the Mogstation after their events occurred in 2.x. The only ones that haven't are the 'crossover events'. Does that mean people are automatically not allowed to ask the devs to bring the items back in some way? People have asked either for the event as it was, or to bring the items to Mogstation (or rather a copy of them, similar to how the xmas gear was a copy of the previous xmas gear, renamed and made unique/untradable), or put them in the Gold Saucer for MGP, or put them in the Gold Saucer together with event-themed Gates.

*cough* Read my previous paragraph, please. People have been asking for an opportunity to get the event rewards, whichever way the Devs decide to make it possible. Yes, some people have asked for the event to be run again, but just as many people (or more) have asked for alternative means. As for asking for 'similar items', I'd love that, but it doesn't help people who want that outfit.
