I disagree with this entirely. I think that people should be able to experience events like this as they were intended to receive the items, and that putting them on the mogstation straight away just continues the lazy content trend. I'm rather worried that the go-to argument for unattainable event items seems to be mogstation rather than actually running the event again to lure back old subscribers and reward currently paying subscribers. This is content that some people have never seen, and cross-promotes other SE titles in the process.

Allow others to do this and the older FFXI/DQX event. Add older holiday quests and events to the newer ones each year so that people can experience the full questlines. There is no reason to discard this content when SE can still add things like Slepnir or the Red/White Magitek that were otherwise not available in game to mogstation. Yes, this will take some work. The rewards however are a much happier current sub base and more subscribers over time. I already have practically every event item but would love to see other people experience the content again to revitalize the game.
