White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

Hehe, you caught my post after I deleted it, but it's ok humor you for just one moment.

Toxic entitlement in that when people see items that hold extra value for doing something hard/important/timelimited/etc. being given basically for free are actually defending it being given out for free. you say you yourself don't care. If you REALLY didn't care why would you argue for it to be given for free?

Some food for thought champ. Deep down inside you do care that people are considered special for doing something you can't, so that is why you don't defend the idea that exclusive items should remain exclusive to those who actually did the content the right way.

Well I'm glad I'm getting humoured. Admittedly an overindulgence in this particular thread.

Why would I argue for it being given for free? Probably because it's a commemorative item, that in the eyes of some logical folk would be seen as celebrating the events that they witnessed, that's my only defence for it. Whether or not they're handed out and how easily obtainable they shall be will be judgement that I withhold until I've, you know, participated in the event?

I care if someone has a car, and I don't. I care if my friends get a Distinction on their Master's course and I don't. I care whether I have a menial job or not whilst my previous friends are working successful jobs. I care if I get the Cirina minion or not. Those are things I would care about. Do I care if someone has an earring that I don't? Probably not because my cute Au Ra's horns completely overshadow any earrings I equip which is unfortunate. Even if they didn't I still wouldn't care because the only earrings I want, or care about are from Proto-Ultima in Dun Scaith. I will state it again. My only extent in caring with this discussion is only about the idea of them using something commemorative to celebrate an anniversary. You know like people generally do? Whether they done it with a Nael minion, or something else is an entirely different matter which has not come to pass. If you wonder why I don't support the idea of naming it replica is simply because it develops the silly mentality that anything called replica is ok being handed out as a freebie. Not to mention it is Just an earring something which many won't even bother looking at.
