SE gave away all my cool 1.0 stuff!

I'm still kicking myself for not realizing to redeem my Hermes Shoes, since I filled all the requirements, just didn't know about the promotion. I'm hoping they add a new item with that special effect on it someday.

Also for the record, seasonal gear was never on the list of items which would become no longer obtainable in 2.0.

On the subject of dated gear:

There are similar models in-game that are in use but the very significant difference with Dated gear is that it is usable with all classes so you could potentially have stuff like plate mail on your mages and have a really unique look. I made moccasins before the game went down because I like how they look and they would make sure I would never have to put up with ugly ass mage shoes ever again once the vanity system rolled around. All newer moccasins are DoW only but I can use the moccasins on anything.

I played 1.0 but it sucked a lot and at the time needed a super computer to play the game so I'm glad the seasonal items are coming into ARR, your legacy tattoo is your 1.0 badge of honor that ARR players will not get.

There are some still exclusive 1.0 items - I.E The lovely Hermes Shoes. ^^

I hope I get a chance to get an Onion Doublet again. I've got all of the other level 1 Onion gear, but I couldn't get a Doublet in time before 1.0 ended. My computer died in the last month of play and I lost all chance of getting that piece... and I've been sad ever since.

Eh... it's just event gear.
It's not meant to be exclusive... especially when that gear is from reoccurring events for holidays like Halloween, Christmas, New Years, etc

Honestly there is nothing wrong with unique items that only a few could get to show that they were supporting the game before others did aka a little reward to give other players something special that others would be unable to obtain.

Some might think it's not a big deal that seasonal gear returns in the rotation but are those same people also not bothered by the Goobue mount that was added to the sylph beastmen store or what if the http://xivdb.com/?item/4287/White-Ravens ring became obtainable in an upcoming update.

From what the developers said those seasonal items, Goobue, white raven earring and other items were meant to be a token of uniqueness for people who stuck around while the game was being worked on so it is a bit of a let down when later on these items make it back into the rotation or become obtainable through easier methods.

I think people are looking at this to much from one perspective because they only see it as seasonal gear, sure it's goofy looking but then say they go a step further and the Dalamud Horn and Raven earring became obtainable in 2.0 would you be ok with that or feel a bit betrayed that those items can now be obtained by anyone.

[Gramul]

Those where just seasonal stuff. The real 1.0 prizes where the dalamud items, the tattoo and the Legacy chocobo.
And I'm fine with that.
