Why do casual players seem entitled to cosmetic items added in game?

Begging for scraps is "entitled" now?

Man, the hardcore crowd really is a different kind of beast, and a gluttonous and insatiable one at that.

Let's be real, the casual crowd would have been pissing themselves over hair being locked behind savage-tier content even if they got 2 new dungeons and a relic to farm.

But... there presumably will be a relic to farm and new dungeons coming up. That won't effect how anyone feels over the hairstyle being locked behind chaotic... I don't think there even is a point your statement was shooting for.

Just trying to keep the topic on point instead of veering off on this "Casuals need more content", which is a different beast all together. I agree with the sentiment but it has no bearing on the actual topic. There's also several people implying that if there were casual things to grind they wouldn't care about the glams/hair being savage rewards which, well, we all saw what happened with the axolotl mount.

Exactly people are trying to conflate a lack of casual content (which is a valid complaint) with the idea that people seem to be unwilling to accept that rewards they may want may not always be directly accessible to them based on the content they do

A lack of casual content is not a reason for why people feel like their content cadence should allow them to get everything they want. There is also the fact that the hair is crashing in price. It’s 10 million on my server now. If you are unwilling to spend 10 million on it do you even really want it

But that's exactly what's happening here, casuals got nothing while hardcore gets everything, and the moment the casuals asked for even a tiny crumb (a hairstyle from a contest where even the winner can't get the hair) they're immediately called entitled brats and told to go back and starve in the corner.

The OP came right out the gate swinging, wanting to make it casual vs. hardcore right away, so it's a bit disingenuous for you or anyone else to be yelling "hey, no hitting back!" when they literally started it.

Why can the winner not get the hair? Are they refusing to do the content or buy it off the market board?

Why shouldn't the hairstyle's creator be given the hairstyle through the mail by the GMs, regardless of how difficult or not it is to obtain?

No developer team in the world can churn out quality "casual" content (i.e. easy to clear on first attempt) fast enough for the "one and done" crowd to be satisfied. And if there is some some kind of grind to increase the longevity a bit, then all the "I am a single dad of 6 kids working 85 hours a week" come out again. And if there is low dropchance, there will be complaints about it "never dropping".
Maybe, just maybe, only ever playing the easiest of the easiest content this game has to offer while ignoring practically every experience the devs cobble together, is at a certain part more the fault of the customer. If you buy a ticket to a theme park and then spend all your time at one fast food stand, that is your prerogative. But complaining about how there isn't anything to do but eating food at that fast food stand, because you don't like rides, don't want to see any parks, are scared of ghosts and loud noises, hate crowds and watching shows ... well, maybe it's about time to start learning how to manage one's own expectations.
