there's nothing wrong with exclusivity, for something related to the game.
there are Primal Mounts for that reason.
FFXIII is not even related to this game.
there's really no reason to be exclusive. it's an event, too. everyone can do it.
you didn't "had to" level up to 45 to do this event. you would eventually have leveled up anyway, regardless of the event...
what makes you feel you "earned" it?
it's a free event. that means everyone can do it. there's nothing special about it.
that lv 45 requirment was a nice implementation, that gave players an incentive to level up their character...i mean if you feel entitled to something because you "had to" level up your character...what makes you play a MMO?
