Regardless of how much some people want to defend and justify it (and its mostly people who have some of those top 100 items), old feast rewards are the only things in this game u literally cannot get no more. As a raider in this heavily pve oriented game, I never get anything time exlusive for doing week 1st clears. In fact, everything pve related gets easier over time, even ultimates. Do I care ? hell no. I don't need anything special to validate myself in front of the other people to confirm my skill level.

Current reward system is also garbage and I don't understand why they insist so much on time exclusive nonsense. Maybe because if it wasn't rewards, people wouldn't bother with pvp in this game ? In my opinion, they just follow bad design philosophy. Make the mode fun first. Then people will play it regardless of rewards. PVP team instead just keep pumping new rewards to incentivise people to play, but pvp itself is still a mess with netcode that completely excludes that mode from being called even remotely competetive. They tried to make pvp an esport for quite a bit and we all know how it turned out. It simply doesn't work. It's always been messy, it always had win trading, it always had randomness with who u get in your team, it always had people boosting other for real money. Some could argue that people buy ultimate clears too, but if someone buys TOP weapon, it doesnt take away my TOP weapon that I earned as a result of hours of prog and improvement. Boosters took away spots of some legitimate players just because they were pretty good at the mode. Also alts are worth mentioning. Some were greedy enough that they'd climb to top100 on various datacenters and servers just because they were doing literally nothing else in the game. Ah right, not to mention, feast seasons typically launched around other content release so if u wanted to do that instead, u were shit out of luck I guess.

Why the hell that mode in particular deserved anything that's special and time exlusive is just beyond me. Old stuff should defo still be accessible. Certainly not handed for free like some would prolly want, but accessible like literally everything else in this game.
