SE gave away all my cool 1.0 stuff!

[Jonny_Tapas]

You know in every game, there are collectors items that are no longer available. It's a big "Thanks!" for those who played a game since the beginning of time!

So why is SE repeatedly giving away all of the cool stuff we earned in 1.0?

I made sure to do every single seasonal event thinking "This will be cool to have later on when they are unavailable!"

Bikini's, Pumpkin Heads, Samurai Heads and Now the Egg helms... if I didn't miss anything.

I already feel a strong sense of not being able to be unique... I mean we all wear the same clothes. (Glamour helps! Thanks!)

But there's not much left from 1.0 that could potentially remain exclusive. Can we please hold on to some of this stuff?

Why are you upset about SEASONAL items becoming available once the SEASON comes back around..?

I just realized this could be a troll post, in which case, well played sir. You win the internet for today. If not...see above...

If it was from a one off event that was to never be repeated I'd understand, but a seasonal Easter event of course they will re use the same items.
Like any other MMO does, I mean wow has had the pumping heads in it for years and the bunny ears, why should something you done seasonly never be repeated

Seasonal event items always returned in FFXI, so it's no surprise they do the same here. There are some exclusive 1:0 items though, such as the Dalamud Horn etc.

Ummm, only collector's edition thing in 1.0 was Onion Helm and that's it iirc. You got a notebook and security key.

I like my onion helm .

Event items were always like this in 11 as well... previous year's events were availible for purchase or re-questing, and then there was new stuff to earn. OUt of 1.0 "exclusives":

Dated equips: Most skins will appear eventually or already have.
Raven earrings & Dalamud Horn: Useless stats & minimal vanity.
Gobbue Mount: Sylph tribe variant pretty darned close.
Pre-order exlcusives: Such limited usefulness since they all stop working at level 10, none particularly all that great looking. The Hermes Shoes can be good if you have a ton of in town running around to do for the infinte sprint I guess...
Legacy Chocobo: Guess this is the last really "unique" thing left... and you can't use it as your Companion's barding since it's a separate mount.

Most of the extremely difficult to earn things in 1.0 were turned into entry level endgame in 2.0: Darklight, Relics, Primal weapons. The only thing left that made you special from 1.0 was the head start at leveling, and now everyone is 50 already so even that hardly matters. You are still a precious little snowflake, unfortunately you are in a blizzard and no one cares.

For me it's more that they said in the list of changes from 1.0 to 2.0 that seasonal event items would become unobtainable, but instead they became easier to obtain. I don't like being lied to/misinformed. It gave me the expectation that those items would be more special and unique than they turned out to be.

Also I still think it's weird that the collector's edition didn't come with garlond goggles from the 1.0 standard edition and you can still get all the collector's stuff but you can't get garlond goggles, making them the actual collector's item.

Final Fantasy has done this in MMO's since early FFXI. Every year they add a few new items and then make the old ones available. This was never intended to be an elite one time only deal. The Cross-over fates are more along those lines.

Someone explained this to me in one of the CE threads that popped up during Beta. Iirc, if you had your FFXI account linked to your 1.0 FFXIV account, you were able to get the Hermes Sandals and Garlond Goggles. That's how I got them.
