    There are other items that are no longer obtainable in game. Thats why they are worth something. Why people work to get them. If the glam would be nothing then a cheap reward thrown at you for wolfmarks or real money, everybody that worked for them would feel betrayed.

    If you want them so much, work for them. Or atleast give people that dont grinded for them a version that not dyeable.
    If you derive value from having something others don't (for no other reason than arbitrary timelocking) then I don't think it's in any developer's best interest to humor or validate you.

    There is no 'working for it'. Malmstone rewards don't fundamentally change in difficulty. It's still the same farm and still the same % of winning/losing, if it's 6.1 or 6.5. At best, some jobs might perform slightly better or less than before, but the difference is minuscule and not worth taking into account.

    If someone got the Archfiend attire, they didn't necessarily put in more work than someone who got the False Monarchy attire, or someone who gets the next Malmstone glam coffer. There is no distinguishing factor, so there is literally no reason to make it FOMO.

    Competition is something people like. Having something unique like a title or set that not everybody gets is a commen reward in mmos.

    In WoW there are Mounts you only get if you rank in the current season to a certaint place and when the season is gone, you have no other way to achive that mount.

    But nice that you implie that i'm a bad person because i take a little bit of pride when i achive something not everybody gets.

    This argument is nonsense. You do not receive rewards specifically for winning, just for playing at all. you cannot argue these PVP rewards are indicative of player skill or accomplishment, only that they had enough free time to sink into PVP at a very specific time that not everyone can do, or perhaps just don't want to do at that time.

    No way, putting in time in a video game for rewards... gives you rewards.

    What a discovery

    only that they had enough free time to sink into PVP at a very specific time that not everyone can do, or perhaps just don't' want to do at that time.
    That's too bad, they dont get the rewards then since they didnt play at that point.
