put preorder things on the mogstation

because there should not be things that are "only" pre order in a game like this, they should be buyable on the mogstation after a while. especially something like cait sith minion which was only preorder for 2.0.

They're as much a badge of honor as the Legacy items or titles or any other achievement though. They say, definitively, that the person who acquired them was there at the beginning and thus have a certain amount of bragging rights. That's generally how anything limited time or hard to get rolls.

Now, I wouldn't specifically object to a VERSION of those minions being available after a while. Like the Nimbus mount now on the mog station. It's not my Cumulus, but it's close enough that the folks who didn't participate in the promotion can still enjoy it. So while I don't think anyone but those of us who pre-ordered ARR should have Cait Sith, I wouldn't mind if they put his girlfriend up on the mog station or something.

I wouldn't call Preorder items a badge of honor

Then encourage SE to stop offering exclusive rewards. But you'll get a substantial part of the player base disagreeing with. Some people believe that there should be exclusives.

If something was marketed as an exclusive to a limited time offer to get people to buy during that time period, they could have legal/financial trouble if they change their mind after the fact and not make it exclusive after all. Personally, I don't recall the marketing materials well enough to remember if the items were marketed as exclusive to SB pre-orders or if they were merely marketed as items that those pre-ordering would receive but I'm certain the information is archived out there somewhere.

You need to learn you're going to miss out on stuff in life. We can't have everything we want.
