White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

That's a slap in the face to every 1.0 player who stuck that version of the game out.

No, it isn't. A number of 1.0 players have weighed in and stated that they don't mind if the rewards are made available. So, for starters, you might want to avoid using terms such as 'every 1.0 player'.

That's a slap in the face to every 1.0 player who stuck that version of the game out. 2.0 players support the game more because they pay the normal, standard sub fee? Poppycock! We have supported the game from the very start, you have this game in part due to the fact that there was a small population of us who didn't desert the game and showed SE ppl were logging in and playing despite the failed launch. Entitled? Not at all, just stop dumping on us, we did the hard work, you get to enjoy the reboot. The reduced sub was part of the ty for playing a failed game, doesn't make those of us benefiting from it, supporting it any less.

1.0 players that "stuck with" 1.0 did so because they wanted to, not for any sort of selfless act of heroism or test of endurance. They did no work.

You guys went through a difficult fight just to get earrings with slashing resistance and nothing else?!

and you think you’re being ripped off now...

They had different stats back then Einstein. They were bis for every job.

I am a 1.0 player and I think they should add them and glad they are.

I know right? As long as they don't touch my legacy mark they can do whatever they want. And even if Yoship turns a $5 trick for a legacy mark on the mog station, I'm not going to spam every form of social media over that gross miscarriage of justice.

I was there, but never got my White Ravens. I'm excited to get them after so long, however i understand the issues many are having. I would hate for others to get my Legacy tattoo, Chocobo, or Dalmud Horn. Make no mistake that fight was hard and those items were a status symbol that proved you went above the call to get every ounce of the game.

If the salt wouldn't drown SE i would want more rewards (mostly a way to make my Legacy Cocobo my Companion to fight along side, an upgrade to the Chocobo itself in terms of size and passenger carry limit, visual lengthening of it's wings, and option for a unique barding.)

I will always be proud to have my name in the credits of this game, to be a part of the FF series, i supported FFXIV when everyone told me not to waste my time with a dead game, i had to upgrade my computer to stupid measures just to play the game (hard to do with my limited pc knowledge back in those days...) You can say it's just a graphic, data that really doesn't matter. It mattered to me though, and even though i get to have them now i understand i didn't earn them when it counted.

Exactly this. People played because they wanted to play a game. There was no great sacrifice being made here. And SE decided to remake this title... the subs that stuck around were a very very VERY tiny fraction of any decision that was made to do that. So I'm not really going to genuflect to a 1.0 player just because they stuck around longer than I did. Honestly, from a very coldly logical and economical standpoint, SE has no real reason to care what Legacy Players want these days. Their focus would logically be on bringing in and retaining new players because the value of their subs is going to be higher. Dollar/Yen/Euro/etc-wise, their requests and wants for the game are going to matter more to the developers than the much smaller faction of Legacy Players, regardless of how nice that is to hear. Legacy Players got their 'thank you' with the Legacy Chocobo, Tattoo, and Sub. Probably not great to hear, but eh.

Really, just change the legacy chocobo to a legacy barding.

I say this with all kindness, and also as someone who has the same items you do, so it’s not sour grapes on my part or anything:

You should seek validation from something better than unavailable items in a video game. Having your name in the credits is kind of a cool novelty (I know, mine’s there too) but playing a bad video game for a couple of months isn’t really an accomplishment, and if you let yourself get bent out of shape at the thought of other people having your legacy mark or Dalamud horn, (and I’m sorry to say that based on SE’s actions there IS a nonzero chance of that happening), then you may be in for an unfortunate surprise one of these Risings.

What is sad is, no value is placed on the fact a character is from 1.0 unless you got earrings and horns that others can't have.


Just imagine if they had decided to wipe the 1.0 data and start everyone fresh, i'd still be here but i know the entitled people wouldn't be.
