    Not Rare and exclusive.

    The semantics don't matter. The fact is, drops from NMs are supposed to be "special". They are supposed to be these "rare and exotic" things made from special materials. If everyone can just spend 30 min - 1 hour to get it... that trivializes it. There's nothing special about it anymore.

    One time in FFXI I acquired instantly approximately 10 million gil in one fight that took less then an hour. I took that 10 million Gil and in less then 15 minutes had an entire Unicorn Harness Set built. Thats a 5 piece set with approximately 6 Behemoth Leathers.

    had I taken the time to just farm it all it would have probably taken me a few years or more of camping KB and other BH droppers to get everything I needed. Instead I got in less then an hour.

    You going to cry about it?

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    No, of course not. I'm assuming you received a Peacock Charm or something similar that you sold. In which case that's perfectly fine... you got lucky. Doesn't change the fact that both the item you sold and the armor you got was rare.

    EDIT: I would suggest avoiding semantic and special pleading arguments... they are fallacies.
