    Yoshida-san, I'm very sorry that you had to go through the trouble, though I appreciate you took the time to reply to everyone.
    Thank you for always working so hard m(_ _)m
    Here's my take: The earrings have no stats and are barely glamour items due to how small they are. The amount of players who obtained them in the event and are like "that's it?" Are quite high, and I bet that a lot of people who are complaining about exclusivity in this thread have shoved them on the armoire never to be touched again.

    So what's the point of them at all? Well they are a trophy item, nothing more, they are entirely a symbol of beating the fight they were designed for, much like a title or achievement. Its not about taking items away, it's about giving away what is entirely a trophy item to people who it has no meaning to, thus taking away any meaning from an item that has nothing else going for it. If I saw someone with an ultimate weapon, I'd know that they beat ultimate, that's a cool thing to see, if I see someone with the feast crown, they are a feast champion, now if I see someone with the WR earrings, they just beat some seasonal event.

    You make bragging rights sound like a negative, but feeling of accomplishment in a social game should come with some sort of expression, videogame theory is built very much around that idea. Its human nature and always has been for thousands of years. Or should the world stop rewarding people with medals and trophies because they are just "bragging rights"
