    Because they were being unrealistic. The common trend is an event item is released one year for the event, a year later it goes up on the cash shop. This isn't always the case, but it's the case more often than not. Expecting them to buck their tradition in order to satisfy you is just being intentionally obtuse. Everyone with a functioning brain stem knew if they released the hair again it would be a cash shop thing, especially after it wasn't available for two years. No different from how most people will expect the Fire Festival items this year to be on sale next year around the same time as the event start. It would have been bad business for them if they didn't capitalize on the money aspect. Especially since if it were released again randomly, no doubt in a month or two people would cry about wanting the hairstyle and missing out on it. This way they can buy it whenever, it'll be 5-10 dollars tops, that's nothing. If that's an amount that would break the bank for you, you have bigger issues than cosmetics in games, namely in the area of financial management.

    This has nothing to do with what I said.

    While brusque, I definitely agree. I dunno how there’s could be this many complaints given it’ll follow the previous item trends and also would likely sell for the price of a combo meal at McDs.
