Moonlet Earring :( i want one!

[Quesse]

I was too poor to afford to subscribe when 1.0 was out (although I got the game as a present, so I played it for 30 days)... Now I'm old enough to work, why should I be punished

Punished?? The punishment was playing 1.0 lol

The people who have Legacy, Moon Earrings, Gobbues etc. MORE than earned them. That is a fact. You have no idea.

This is a little off topic, but yes, ARR would be here without legacy support.

Semantics. The fact is when 1.0 went subscription, if no one had paid, it would have died. 2.0 only exists because of those who decided to sub to 1.0 - Legacy or not.

To be honest, the elitist in you better start kissing the butts of every player who joined in 2.0. If the game population didn't recover from the unholy mess 1.0 was, you wouldn't have that earring, tattoo, and horn AT ALL to enjoy. You owe a lot to 2.0 players for saving the game from oblivion.

please stop with the 1.0 vs 2.0 BS. it isn't cool and it isn't right. 2.0 players didn't save the game from oblivion, Yoshi-P and his dev team did. you 2.0 players should in that case kiss his butt for the game we have now.

If I could, I'd give you mine. I find them a bit tacky for someone with my...shape.

The Dalamud Horn us certainly cool, but like Maxwell said, is there a problem with people wanting an item so they can resemble unicorns? I'd say no. I appreciate the sentiment thar certain items be exclusive, missed opportunities for others, but I see no reason that there cannot be similar items like a horn available for all classes for glamor purposes, even be able to be dyed. Also large bead earrings isn't too much to ask for right?

They are called summoners :P

OK, I can see that there are as usual people actively trying to take offense where none was meant. I suggested adding items from 1.0 to the loot tables for ventures so that some of those items could slowly filter back into Eorzea as very rare and unusual items. In a logic and lore sense it kind of makes sense that when exploring a retainer might stumble across some rare item dropped by someone else previously.

I wasn't saying that all exclusive, especially the significant event items, should be included. Obviously such things must be handled with care do as not to diminish the achievement or significance of the event they mark. At the same time though, there are also many items that could be added without causing problems.

The intention of the thought was not to take away from the accomplishments of players who played in the 1.0 era. It also has to be said that a) there are many items from that version of the game that were not necessarily billed as rare or exclusive at the time, but which are not available in A realm reborn, and b) many of those things would and should still be in circulation. In the same way as paraphernalia from the US Civil War, 1st and 2nd World Wars, the Korean War or Vietnam are still in the hands of many individuals as rare mementos of days gone by; such items would still be in Eorzea. The Civil War/WW1/WW2/Korean artifacts in our real world, are in many, many cases languishing in trunks or attics, or perhaps lost somewhere in a yard, or even further afield, waiting for the day when a person with a metal detector looks their way. Eorzean artifacts would be no different.

Does someone finding and displaying a medal that a soldier in WW2 wore with honor, but lost sometime in the past, in any way diminish whatever act(s) of heroism the soldier was awarded the medal for? Of course not, and the item itself serves as a reminder of the events and the cost.

As a legacy player myself, I really don't care if items are "exclusive" or not. Similar to that, it should come as little surprise that I posted on these forums repeatedly about how stupid it was for primal mounts to have such a low drop rate (the drop rate, after being adjusted like 3-4 times, is only just now in an acceptable range). The dev team wanted to preserve their "rarity". Ridiculous. If it's rare because the drop rate is super low, or because it's no longer available... so what? I don't think you're cool because you're lucky. If you got something that can only be obtained by beating ultra difficult content... well, I probably still won't think you're cool, but at least you had to do something besides win the lottery or just happen to be there in order to get the item.

That said, I wouldn't mind if they brought back most/all the exclusive items from 1.0. As the prime example, it'd be nice if there was a recreated White Raven fight, like if the minstrel gave you a battle similar to how they did Ultima, and you could get the earrings from there. Then you would still have to beat the content, but it would no longer be time-locked.

Don't have those earrings in particular but I wouldn't mind seeing any 1.0 items that make sense to bring back, those I have or not. Doesn't make sense to me for some items to be limited, if lore doesn't demand them to be at least. "oh no i ran out of that one material from those one monsters that you can find everywhere but we wont skin them for that one material even though they are totally actually still available" yeah I dont like that logic lol.

They should add some of the older 1.0 items to the cash shop for at least $10 or $15. Higher price because it should be fair to the players in 1.0, while still being fair to those who never played back then. Plus, SE would get money for the hard work they put in at 1.0 to make 2.0 and beyond :P
