I joined 2 weeks after it ended, I would be bummed but I would definitely be ready for the next go around. I dunno that's the end of that thought lol.i could use what people experienced in that ultimate to get myself ready, that would be optimal use of my time.
Okay I understand where you are coming from on that score. But I personally don't think things like the Ultimates should be exclusive to time. They are already exclusive to ability. You can't cheese them and do them unsynced. So no matter when someone starts the game they have the same difficult fight that those who first fought them had. And end-game raiders already complain that they don't have enough content to do at end-game. Making something like that exclusive to a timeframe limits those end-game raiders even more. I don't think they should lose those raids in end-game rotation so to speak.

As for other exclusives I have had some that were then opened up to other people down the road. I don't begrudge those people that. I got them at the time and I was proud of them. I still am, others having gotten them later doesn't take that away. There are other things that I didn't get at the beginning and I got them later. My getting them doesn't take away the fact that others strove hard and got them first.

I don't count items/exclusives as something I'm proud of. It's those things or achievements that I did that make me proud. Some are in-game items or achievements. Some are self-made goals in the game that no one knows about but me. If I am understanding you correctly it's more about "earning" an achievement and where did those feels go. I've played MMOs for a very long time and I get that drive. There are things from past MMOs that I'm still proud of that me and my friends talk about. They were fun and amazing to accomplish. But in the end, for me, they are still video game achievements. Something I am proud of doing in the games I've played for sure. But I don't get upset when other's also get the same items or achievements as me nor do I really mind when they got them.
