They Should Allow Old Seasonal PvP Rewards To Be Obtainable By Any Top 100/30 Voucher

[ThirdChild_ZKI]

You're reading into it entirely wrong. And let's not sugarcoat things: I like to raid, I like doing stuff with friends. . . But I like winning and getting shiny stuff too. Why do you think nobody ran T3 except for progression? Only reason I ran it last was for Wonderous Tails; the same reason many people are bothering with older content again. However comma there are people that do things for the fun of it, like PvP. Before the chat ban, due to my work schedule making solo queue difficult to stay competitive in, I had my fun in 8v8s, and I don't get anything from that except the thrill of the fight.

Still, you've overlooked my point that if you offer two ways to achieve something; a hard way, and an easy way, people,generally, will choose the easy way more often than not. . . That's exactly why the Gold Saucer Garo gear was not offered alongside the PvP gear, even if it can't be dyed. Anyone who simply wants the gear likely would choose the less-challenging GS method.

EDIT: As I didn't see the lengthy response to me til after I posted this, allow me to address it directly.

What you feel as a raider, I've felt before too. It's simply the nature of the game that what was once difficult to achieve will become easy with time and gear, and I too was quite irritated with that back in the Coil days. Rarely if ever have I been first to get anything on my server, and I'm hardly bothered by that. I competed in all 3 Feast seasons and never placed top 100 despite my capabilities, and again, I'm okay with that. Fact is, there's ALWAYS going to be new stuff being added to this game. . . I think it's fine if you don't get everything you want, when you want it. Not only that, but knowing how much SE already is willing to bend over backward to deliver what people want, it really becomes a smaller issue over time (and as a quick side note: we have gotten nearly everything we've asked for til now, with the exception of the big-NO-by-Yoshida-himself in-game parser.) Our thoughts or opinions may differ in this regard, but at this point, my eyes are forward, not back.

If it's a matter of people asking for older rewards to be obtainable by fufilling the same requirements originally necessary for it, fine. That sounds fair. Asking for it via other means than the competition it was a reward for? No, sorry. Doesn't work like that. Life doesn't work like that. No Super Bowl rings for preseason/exhibition games. Call me harsh to say it, but AS someone who competed and didn't win, I feel I can speak on that matter. Unfair competition? Yes, it is. But that's out of your hands and my own. That burden falls entirely on SE to mitigate it. All we can do is compete honestly and wholeheartedly. I sympathize for those directly affected by cheaters, and I certainly defend the common sense that those cheaters don't deserve the reward because they didn't earn it fair and square, but where people who otherwise would not bother with PvP want PvP rewards given to them, especially competition rewards they don't want to/refuse to compete for, my foot is down and stays down when I say no. This however, I understand is a different case, thus I reiterate, if you're willing to compete and place top 100 in say, season 6 and want season 2's reward, sure, why not? You put the work in.
