Lightning/Snow Event

[Samcaesar]

Snip .

My argument said nothing of the Legacy Tattoo, I made notions of making exclusive content for non-legacy players however. I'm saying that doing the event to get whatever items requires at most logging in, being the level requirement, and running around for 20 minutes. If anything take my comment directed towards you it'd be something along the lines of "What if you had to make the character in the 3.x cycle in order for them be an Au Ra", is that fine?

It could easily be argued that Coil should be removed because we're past that in the grand scheme of the story and it no longer remains relevant towards current raid groups, I mean shoot, how often do you see people group up to farm the first set of Coil raids? Like it or not, these things are both are content and the way the player values them might vary (For all we know there's somewhere out there that's a new player desperate to look like Lightning or Snow..), and there's nothing suggesting that they couldn't ever remove a raid either.

It's a silly statement when you look at it strictly within a vacuum, but shoot anytime these sorts of threads appear up the main argument against it is "No, those people were there, they deserve it for existing, too bad, get over it".. And that opinion seems really well accepted, very few people share contrary opinions and a majority of people agree with that or seem uninterested. I mean, if you go into a thread about say.. Drawing of your characters or job dicussions, of course exclusivity wouldn't be brought up in a thread like that, none of it has to deal with exclusiveness in the first place. Saying "The amount of exclusivity people want in this game is sickening" within the context of people getting so defensive over the idea of bringing back an old event or having a way for them to get the items in game is completely relevant.

Reasonable. Heck, I don't disagree with that idea at all even, but most people aren't even willing to suggest something close to that, just a whole "Give me a new event, no old items for you" deal.

--Edit: Thinking about it a bit more, I'd argue a much more broader problem (and it encompasses the "exclusivity" issue) is dealing with this whole "I'm currently satisfied and make no attempt to see why you're not happy with the current status quo, therefore you and your argument are dumb. /thread" which even dips into you and I's common ground, racial additions and more "cute" races being added.

Well of course you're fine with it, you're pleased with the options given to you, and I don't think girl Roegadyn, boy Miqo'te, or Au Ra appeal to you enough to change your main to it. You can't place your argument on "Yeah I'm fine because I'm sated with everything already" because you likely are already pleased therefore you probably don't see any reason wrong with it. I'm sure there are plenty of 1.0 players who went to girl Roegadyn and boy Miqo'te when they could.

Besides, go figure that fantasia was added in 2.0.. You know with the introduction of girl Roegadyn and boy Miqo'te were also introduced.
