I guess it's way easier now? (I haven't played Feast since SB.... hell I haven't played FFXIV since SB so there's a lot to get used to now). In that case, I'd be inclined to agree with you. There's a certain something to being able to say "I got this when it was hard." .. but it's really a shame that that line of thinking doesn't apply to anything else in the game. I wish it did but at the same time, I wish there wasn't this artificial wall of either":

1. You can't have this because it was available for a super rare period of time and to a super exclusive group of people.. haha just kidding here's some earrings. OR
2. I want gamers to have rare items.. but only PVP players, and only 1% of them. It's like that meme with the metronome!
