Lightning/Snow Event

It's fair because some players will never have an option to get some gear. The comment isn't made towards people who are at least proposing some kind of compromise, more towards the "Exclusive is exclusive so shut up" crowd. However, is it fair for some players who might not have even heard of the games existence to be barred from some set? I don't really see how it is, and I have a strong distaste for people who go "That's not fair" one moment then do a 180 and go "Life's not fair, get over it" in the same breath.


Plus like.. Long term rewards already exist in the game, they're called Veteran rewards, and currently there's zero sign of implementing previous event sets into them as a "Long term support". That's without getting into the semantics of how "Long term support" being connected to event items is certainly not true.

I'm not saying like.. Rehash the event yearly, I'm personally an advocate for new events (Holiday events staying within theme of course) each year, but I don't see how it'd be fair to cut them off from vanity sets. A similarly put "Thanks for the support, but you didn't start playing soon enough, lol" sorta deal

I think he meant make more exclusive events so that players will have something exclusive that the next band of new players won't.

Nah, I specifically meant some how introducing some gear set that's exclusive to characters who don't have the FF13 sets. It's to put up a comparison towards the "Exclusive is exclusive. You missed it, get over it" crowd. I don't actually advocate for it, but I'm curious on what people, specifically that previous mention crowd, would do if such a thing would be implemented.

I don't care for "It's exclusive!! Get over it!" arguments, they're dull and come from usually come from a either a "I've got my special thing, so why should I care if you can't have it?" perspective or a "I don't care about it, so why are you?" perspective. The point is, if SE somehow managed to give everyone who didn't have the current exclusive gear something entirely new (Maybe to garner some loyalty to new players who are upset about missive out on past event!), would everyone be so keen on the "Exclusive is exclusive, get over it" arguments?

Basically nothing is different about them lol, and honestly I don't see why the preorder items aren't at least on the mogstation, and that's speaking as someone who could've gotten the Baron's stuff on three different accounts if I had more than one account to give it to (Long and awkward story lol). The event's occurred twice now into the games lifespan, if not introducing the event over again, there should be some way for new players to get it as well. For preorder items, why not introduce a craftable version that takes a crap ton of rare items that'd be a pain in the butt to all gather up and have like a "Forged" bit added to the name to still give a genuine "I preordered it!" feel to the original versions. For the Lightning event items, why not slap them onto the mogstation and just push them on some in game vendor during one of the year's various events?
