While I don't mean to be too much of a nag, I do dislike the fact that Seasonals can be bought form the Cash Shop. Part of what would be special and interesting about (seasonal) events is the fact that you can get items which will be unobtainable and exclusive whoever did the event at the time (or when it returns). The fact that these items simply become available in the Cash Shop takes a way a lot of the appeal (and immersion?) to me. It's no longer something you want for exclusivity, but rather just to save money.

In other games there are very often Cash Shop items offered for a limited time, because they know people like the exclusivity of having an item that is no longer available.
