Lightning/Snow Event

[Wildsprite]

The best solution is to add it to the cash shop or Gold Saucer

cash shop=not happening unless they remove the stats from the gear.
They have said multiple times no stats on any items in the cash shop ever. I personally would like to see them to stick to that stance.
Golden Saucer=I still think a good idea would be to add mock up versions of the FATEs as GATEs so people can earn the gear. it wouldn't be difficult to add NPCs that let you get the gear while the GATE is up.
