how to get <lord's clogs> shoes and <yukata> armor?

See it this way. It reward those characters who did the event.

2.0 began with outdated seasonal gear selling for gil from seasonal vendors.
This was removed.
The gear began to be sold for $3-$5 a piece from mogstation.

The only way to SEE it, is that they were struggling to think of items for the mogstation. New players are now forced to pay over $50 for items that I obtained without doing the event. It was a deliberate change of heart, with cold hard cash being the only motivating factor.

Santa outfit and Usagi Kabuto you can also buy in the MB for some tousand gil. Those are tradeable

Doesn't change the fact that these items are sold on mogstation. $5 for the santa outfit, $3 for a rabbit hat, of which there are 3. That's $14 they allow players to spend for items that can be obtained for free in-game by players who know better.

And for the love of god, the egg rings cost $3 a piece. $30 for the set of egg rings and egg hats. There is absolutely no excuse for that. Don't even try to defend it.

Yeah, I bought the 1.0 holiday event stuff on my original main (this character) back when I was first playing in 2.0, too. I expected that trend to continue, and was really looking forward to picking up some of those costume pieces on my new character.

I had no idea SE was going to be so exploitative with their cash shop. This is seriously upsetting. :|

The worst part for ME is that I meet people who are curious about my outfits, and I have to tell them about the mogstation. I had a bunch of friends who wanted my halloween ghost costume, and they were all waiting for those vendors to appear last year. Then mogstation was launched in october, with the halloween outfits being the first set of items they were selling for money. So now my dream of a ghost army will only work if people I know hand over $5 for an outfit that isn't even glamorable.

I don't plan on letting my subscription die anytime soon, so it isn't a matter of me wanting things I don't have. I want OTHER PEOPLE to be able to acquire holiday stuff too. Especially halloween... there is no point in dressing up if everyone has the same costume for the year.
