On the other hand, I don't really think a lot of players who actually did complete that trial back in the day are actually still playing now.
There are still some of us playing, but yeah probably few. I only have a few friends left in game that earned their Ravens. It doesn't piss me off that their available for free because I've learned that's just what they do with this game with everything. While I don't agree with that decision they have chose, it is what it is.

As Canadane has pointed out though, this shouldn't have even turned into a Legacy vs. 2.0 debate. This is about an exclusive reward for a hard fight being given out for nothing. It can happen in ARR as well in 5 more years when they hand out gold Bahamut weapons.
