White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

[Tiraelina]

Perhaps I'm missing it, but I don't see these earrings named in that post, either explicitly or implicitly. It simply says there will be exclusives. In fact, it seems to point towards getting to experience the content and a goobbue mount as the exclusive thanks.

Also, if it isn't clear by now, I'm not arguing over pixels, at least not per se. I am arguing against a particular attitude that I think is a rather cancerous element in MMORPGs. I don't care about the earrings one way or the other and they could decide to remove them from the event tomorrow and it wouldn't bother me at all. The pettiness and neediness of other players is a different matter, however.

Q: A lot of people are saying that they tried to clear “The Raven, Nevermore” but couldn’t manage to before the end. So, will we be able to challenge “The Raven, Nevermore” in ARR?
A: This content was made for our current players and was only intended for 1.0. It would also clash with the main story if it were still playable.

Explicity: The "content" would include what he dropped, it was the finale to 1.0 made for existing players before ARR.
Implicitly: If it wasn't part of that grouping they wouldn't have been missing for half a decade and dropped out of T9.

Neither of those are stretching the meaning. There's very few things that fall into that category regardless aside from unusable crafting materials. The old lodestone being dead and link re-directors no longer working makes it a headache. For all I know it was on the alpha forums. I would like to believe this was all someone dropping the ball but we're probably never going to hear of it.

That wasn't directed at yourself to be clear as well. Other people are though, maliciously, and should really take their own advice.

That's a really twisted perception to make up to bring down someone in a game. I've yet to see anyone "lord" them over someone. You keep bringing up these examples that don't exist. Someone else having them isn't slighting someone else. Enjoy what you have and get over the envy, this isn't keeping up with the joneses.
