Bull. In a F2P game, this would be... not really enjoyable but within the realm of expectation. This is, however, a subscription-based MMO. There is NO excuse to lock all those items behind a cash shop. None. It's bad enough my new character can't get the Lightning event stuff (really, really should be account-bound), but for SE to then laugh and say, "Oh you thought you were playing a sub MMO? Nah, we just want even more of your money!" That's... no. No other sub-based MMO does this with their freaking holiday gear. Even Blizzard, as they continue to expand their cash shop in really unsettling ways, doesn't do this. This is very nearly unsub-immediately levels of horrible.
