Lightning Strikes?

And I'm more or less arguing the "I can't get it easily, just throw it up in the cash shop" mentality that people seem to have these days. Missed out on a special event, throw it up in the cash shop. Can't get a special dye due to RNG, throw it up in the cash shop, etc. IMO I did earn it, because I played the game. It wasn't hard to do, no. And it wouldn't be hard for someone else to do either, if they choose to bring the event around again. I could say the same thing about those primal mounts you mentioned. They're really just vanity, why not throw them up for $25 alongside Sleipnir, and let players who don't want to farm primals have at it. If you've earned one, would you feel that's fair? And if you'd read my second paragraph, you would have noticed that I'm not actually opposed to the items being made available again in the future, in-game of course.

Just curious, but why is anyone opposed to this event (or any event) returning again? If participating a second/third/fourth/etc time doesn't seem appealing to you, why not simply pass on it and continue doing whatever it is you normally do within the game (leaving it for those who do want to participate)? As far as I'm aware participation in any of these events isn't mandatory.

With the fact that the Lightning questline isn't repeatable, I have no idea.
