Why? Because we all pay the same sub every month. I'm subbed to FFXIV, the whole game, not 95% of it.

The earrings are hideous, I don't care about them. I care about the principle here, it's time for time-based exclusives to stop. It's not fair to new players. I get that old players want to be rewarded. But, to have those rewards be unattainable for everyone else is a slap in the face to all the new players' sub money.
A mighty entitled one this is. You didnt obviously pay the sub nor play and earn the items in 1.0 !
