She does not mean PvP rewards, as in the stuff you get for the tokens. She means ranking rewards gotten at the end of Feast for those that have the most points. Those are exclusive. You cannot get them once the season ends. And only X people can get them, depending on the reward. Very few X people. Look here.

The trophy is pretty obvious. I mean, you shouldn't get a trophy if you're not the best, right?! I personally have no issue with an exclusive TROPHY for being the best. Maybe some sort of medal as an accessory for those lower on the rankings and/or for meeting the specific rank (I mean gold, diamond and what not). But when rewards include MINIONS and MOUNTS, both of which are collectables in this game, and glamour, which is the most popular "end-game" stuff to do for many casual players, really, it stops being fine with me and apparently Itswhateverthough.

Telling collectors that they never can fill their collection is bad. Honestly, even though I have no means of getting the "top tier" collectables in most games anyway, I quit multiple games over them being altogether exclusive, cause those games offered little other incentive. And its one thing not being able to fill the collection due to being too bad a player or not spending enough time/effort, another thing entirely if the rewards are just plain impossible to get.
This is why I despise all sorts of pre-order bonuses in games. I'd be fine if they game stuff like double experience/double money and such. Stuff I can grind for anyway, while never getting the bonus itself. I'm fine with physical items. In the end, those can be bought from others on live market one way or another. But items otherwise unavailable and irreplaceable are just irritating. And some games go even further by offering different pre-order bonuses based on where you bought the game...
