About the new items on mog station

[Hindzo]

How is the sentimental value of your items decreased by someone else having the item aswell now...?

I have higher sentimental value for things that I know are unique or no longer available to be purchased or obtained because that makes the items "special" for several reasons not worth bringing up - but for everything, not just virtual items in a videogame. I'm 100% fine with other players having the items, if anything I enjoy seeing players with exclusive items that I either do or don't have. Whenever I'd see someone else with something exclusive I like jumping around on the same mount or in the same glam and making a new friend. If everyone has it than there's no memory to connect with another players.

"Oh you've got the Abe's Attire, I remember in HW when --"
"Sorry I didn't play HW I just like the glam lol"

While I may be able to continue that dialogue over something FFX-related, I'd rather be talking about XIV since that's the game I'm playing.

Edit: My issue is mainly with the exclusivity and not the sentimental value. Taking it away removes a reason why I would engage with another player with any exclusive item because for all I know they just bought it off the Mogshop, they don't have the memories that the original purchases have from when they did get it. Memories of watching the stream, playing through HW, looking forward to maybe getting something Blitzball related etc. are being mixed with memories of "yeah I just picked it up on the Mogshop for leveling alt jobs".
