Lightning/Snow Event

[UltimateAoe2]

This game has a community so obsessed with "YOU WERE NOT THERE YOU MISSED IT LOOK HOW EXCLUSIVE I AM" and you really need to get over it come on kids. Not even amounting to sharing your toys since you do not get them taken away from you, just shared for others to enjoy.

What is the point of exclusivity other than to make people feel bad or make newbies feel like they will never amount to anything.

If they put it in the cash shop it is just a way of retroactively paying your sub for that month to get the items. If anything, SE will get the same amount of money or more. Logging on at a specific point in time does not make you special, exclusive, or more deserving.

It's not the amount of exclusivity we have (I could care less), it's the amount of receptivity that comes in.
People feel bad over Snow's/Lightning's Outfit? There's a lot more glamors that are almost as good as that.



are you ok

That's the same dude that carried on for pages and pages bout how he should be able to buy the Legacy tattoo.

Nothing to see here. Honestly, there's nothing wrong with a little exclusivity.

Sure, keep it exclusive when you actually do something to earn it, time shouldn't be a factor deciding exclusivity. What did you all do? Spend money for your subscription and maybe a minor quest and you got the items.

Could you imagine what would happen if they closed off Coil because of time exclusivity? Is it okay to say "Nothing wrong with a little exclusivity" there too?

I bet all of you "It's exclusive and I got it so nyeh to you and your wants" people would be complaining for days if SE somehow managed to give a different set of items to new players. Like what if they made it so you could only be a girl Roegadyn or a male Miqo'te if you weren't a legacy player? What about if you could only make an Au Ra if you made a new character? Are you all okay with that as well?

Then the answer becomes simple, have the stuff available on some kind of vendor. At least you have to work for Ex Primal clears and horses, some of these events are so minimal effort that if you happen to meet the level requirement and can spent 20 minutes of your day you'll never have to do it again. Asking for the same opportunity to spend 20 minutes or at least have a way to get the items isn't asking for handouts, it's asking for the same opportunity that everyone else had, which as equally paying customers, SE has the duty to obligate in ways possible.

Thank you. This is all I am saying, for real. If RL kept someone away for whatever, or a new player is joining the game, give them a chance to get it as well. No one is asking for it to 'get handed' to them like auto add to inventory or whatever, but redoing the EXACT SAME EVENT you did, or even spending REAL MONEY in the cash shop for it, is hardly a free hand out. It is just an opportunity for someone to experience what you have experienced and use items and character customization that you can use.

I don't have a Legacy tattoo though. I joined in 2.1 and I'm fine with only Legacy players having it.

Coil is a raid, not a one-time event or an event item. Apples and oranges, my friend.

You're basically asking "what if Fantasia weren't in the game?" which was how it was back in the day. Your character was final. I spent the good part of half a day designing my character, and she hasn't changed since that day. This wasn't something people complained about, it was just common knowledge that if you wanted something else, you rolled a new character from scratch.

So to answer your question, yeah, I'd be fine with that. I wouldn't have really questioned it.

Actually not really. The amount of exclusivity that people want in this game is sickening and is honestly quite turning me away from it and the community.
