Because the main argument in the thread no longer is that the earrings share the same name as the original 1.0 earrings, but that anyone who didn't play 1.0 doesn't deserve anything from it. They sound similar but they're really not the same. One is just wanting something rebranded, the other is supporting exclusion.

If the earrings had a different name this thread would still be here, but instead it would be people complaining about how they look identical to the original so players glancing at them won't know they're 1.0 veterans.

I completely understand wanting the earrings to have a different name, but much of the thinly veiled elitism surrounding anything related to 1.0 is frankly disappointing to read.
