We don't need them anymore.

Tell me you've never played MMOs before FFXIV without telling me.

The solution to this is to create brand new sets, or carrots, if you will. Not recycle old ones that people worked hard to get under the promise of them being exclusive and limited-time availability only.

First you should work on your attitude instead of using that old dismissive saying.

Second, there are two problems with that notion.
The first ist that this, for an inflationary timeframe, creates an imbalance between old and new players in the quantity of available items alone.
The other is that we have 2025. Those systems may have worked in the day of old where MMOs were the big thing on the market.
Nowadays you don't want to say to new players "tough luck".
