Why is the PvP Shadowstalker set unavailable permanently?

I need to speak to whoever decided that it's OK to have a piece of glamour be forever unobtainable.

That's why the Karen comment came out. Nobody ever answers the forums except other players, so you're not going to get a manager.

It's a cultural difference. In Japan, "limited edition" is a real and genuine thing, and when it's gone, it's gone. That is their reasoning for having certain items locked behind time sensitive events and rewards. There are minions that you can never obtain again, not even on the cash shop. There are mounts that you can never obtain again. There are titles that you can never obtain again. And some of those, like the Feast rewards or the Saint titles, were extremely difficult to obtain to begin with.

For some of the PVP gear, when it is available, you don't even have to be good at PVP, you just have to do the daily grind. I've got my Makai Master title from the Garo event and I'm absolutely awful at PVP, but I did Frontlines roulette every day, and had fun dying while trying not to hurt my team too much in the process.

For the ranked Feast seasons, you've got to not only put in the effort, you have to be pretty good, so their rewards are unique and all the more special.

Yeah, it totally sucks that certain limited edition items aren't available, but you're never going to convince an entire country that their way of collecting things is wrong.

This is totally illogical. People pay more money for collector/limited edition items. That's why Endwalker Collector's Edition was $200, but the standard edition was $40.

Right now people without the PvP rewards and people with the PvP rewards are both paying $13/month.

The time limited aspect means items in the real world are gone forever, too. They'll make a limited run of those collector's editions, charge more for them, and then once they're sold out, not offer them any more.

Sometimes they're also limited by only being available at a specific store, such as Gamestop. Sometimes they're limited by the physical item that was produced, like the Shiva statue and the attached Diamond Dust emote. (At least they did a re-release of that figure, but it was straight up out of stock for years, and is now out of stock again.)

"charge more for them". People with feast rewards didn't pay more for exclusive rewards. They paid the same. So how come I am not getting the same rewards as they are?
