Little by little, I'm less enamored with the idea of the 'exclusives' in this game. They all get re-released at some point, making all my effort into obtaining it meaningless. For some, like me, spending money on this game, it's merchandise, collectibles, etc, it's not easy. I have to make sacrifices to attend the fan fests, concerts, buy the artbooks, pay the sub, pay my sister's/friends sub, spend an absurd amount of time farming limited time items, for what? It seems like all of that means nothing in the end.

In part, I'm thankful, I no longer have to worry about investing anything on this game. Since I can always get it at some other point.
How is people owning those items taking away your value for those items? How does someone buying them at the store take away any meaning you have? They should have the same value they had before since you not only got those items but you went to the fanfest and stuff. Me buying the mount or whatever doesn't take anything away from you. If the only reason they hold value is because other people can't get them after years of you having them then they apparently didn't hold any value then.
