White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

You tell us. Why does anyone that wasn't there desperately need someone else's exclusive-to-that-time memento? You didn't like the game at that time so didn't play to get it yourself? Get over it and deal with your Green Envy NM. Why do you or anyone else keep giving disingenuous developers a free pass?

That's a poor argument and you know it. It doesn't matter if someone did or didn't like 1.0 at the time, some people couldn't afford to pay the subscription fee for 1.0, some didn't know XIV existed. It could be a plethora of reasons. Stop making baseless assumptions to back up a selfish "screw you, got mine" mentality that doesn't need to exist with a pair of virtual earrings. This is all incredibly petty.

It was free for a whole year. Those who left either couldn't afford it, or didn't want to pay for the game in that stage of repair and were just playing because it was free. I remember players then saying one or the other.

Either way, it's an item from five years ago. It's a very petty thing to hold a grudge over and I'm shocked at people in this community who are clinging to a pair of earrings that you can barely see on your ears unless you're always zoomed in up close. Most people aren't always playing this game with their cameras zoomed all of the way in. Earrings are awful on Miqo'te.

That's also not to mention, that most people barely notice the accessories you're wearing to begin with and only check for the ilvl's or stats to make sure that you're not a lvl 40 healer with lvl 1 earrings of strength because they wanted to be a "battle cleric" inside of a dungeon.

Yoruichi, why is it important to you that others don't have a chance to get the earrings?

Maybe it is a difference in personalities, but I can't wrap my mind around why someone would not want someone else to have what is today a glamour item. I understand that it was not a glamour item then. Today it is. I understand there is as story behind it, but I'm still not seeing why it is important to keep it out of the hands of others. I'm not asking about SE's policy. How does this affect you?

I'm not Yoruichi but let me ask you, if they gave away Season 1 Feast trophies, would you be okay with that? You might not care for PvP and not feel strongly, but simply consider the idea of it, at the very least.
Now it's the same mentality for the White Ravens. There's some things that are earned and awarded. They shouldn't be just handed out like candy.

They got the same chance we 1.0ers did, it was called 1.0. I would've been fine with it saying "replica", while keeping my hard earned trophy intact as we never got a title for clearing it. I'd be fine if they in a hotfix, added a title to valid account holders. I know many 1.0ers who never got the chance to clear for many reasons, I know one specifically who was promised help after others got done and got shafted. She feels that just handing this earring out like this cheapens it for her. She doesn't want them, she never cleared the fight (it was near impossible to find ppl), I just got lucky, and we were both playing from start to finish. I tried to get her cleared, but another 1.0 fun fact, sometimes if you clicked on things, you got stuck attached to it for a while until the game booted you out, and that happened to me when I clicked on the instance entrance after getting enough ppl (only time I found enough for a full raid). By the time the game booted me out after I'd gotten stuck on the entrance click, the ppl I'd gathered to help my sister attempt her Rivenroad (HM) clear couldn't stay around anymore, and I wasn't able to get help for her again. In those days, before anyone does ask, you had to go to the entrance of instances to enter them. Duty Finder didn't exist then. If they knew about it and chose not to play it, it's on them. If they didn't know about it, well, that's on SE for not doing proper advertising. Also the fight was in circulation 6 years ago. They were either too busy to come up with new rewards, or too lazy.

Not everyone was playing the game at that point for various reasons. I am asking how it affects you. We don't know what the requirements will be. It could be a candy thing. It may not be. Either way, does it really change what you do in game?

I see this event as an opportunity. I've said it earlier too. I'm not sure if it was this thread. I am getting some 1.X players together with a bunch of others for a Lore Night on Sunday on my server. The 1.X players will talk about all sorts of things. Some of it is of course lore, so people playing ARR and later can have a better understanding. They will also talk about how being a player was during 1.X and what SE was doing. I've had very positive responses to it so far, and there are a lot of enthusiastic people.
