So essentially, there is no issue with a 1.0 model returning if it's slightly different?

Oh, that thing. Nevermind. I don't care, SE never said it was to be exclusive. I think it was from Aurum Vale actually.

If you have it and like it, I hope you wear it with pride.

I feel the same way about the Sylph Goobbue. I don't care that they made one for ARR players.

Is that the answer you wanted?
You mention that "SE never said it was to be exclusive", but the same can be said for most 1.0 items. There are only a select few that were intended to be JUST for "legacy" players, and those should remain.

One thing you also have to keep in mind is that this game has a very odd history in that it was completely remade later, shouldn't those players have a chance to obtain those items that aren't specifically "legacy"?

I think most of the outrage happens is if it becomes a cash shop item like the 1.0 moonfire earing
Red Onion Helm can be sold on the market board, actually. Just checked to verify.

Hmm, so people wouldn't mind these items returning if it's obtainable in-game? I wouldn't mind that myself.
