Veterans who are loyal to this game and supporting it for quite a while arent "asking" for much if they're telling you that those items are their reward for playing this game for so long and want to keep this. You get tones of items in game... when I started this game those items didnt even existed and I somehow made it... People have to stop asking for everything to be handed to them NOW...
Sigh. I didn't. I've repeated mentioned either grinding or beating Savage x amount of times; neither being a swift means of obtaining anything. But fair enough, you can play around with outfits. I wouldn't want to cosplay a character anyway, I just like bits and pieces of different outfits to blend.

Anywho, I don't think it's unfair, just to be clear nor have I expressed that. Just not a fan of content limited by time because I like earning them through the game itself, not just logging in. But at the same time, I do appreciate veteran perspective. That is why I suggested something like a free months sub earlier? This was never a "I want this all now with no effort provided!" So the entitled claims baffle me. But I'll concede the point nonetheless because I don't disagree with the overall intent.

Might bug a wee bit more if it were mounts or minions though. I like collecting those. :P

Fair way to look at it.

I would suggest you to contact SE personally and try to see if they can do some type of exception.
Oh, I wouldn't go to those extremes. It's more the idea I have my misgivings with, but in thinking on it, this argument probably better applies to other exclusives (which has been mentioned.)
