Topic on exclusive items

[Niwashi]

I've never once lorded over anyone the fact that I have a moogle costume, or lightning hair, or any other fluff item that this is supposedly about.

Sure, you have. Every time you say other people who didn't take part in the events shouldn't be able to get them.

I truly don't understand how people can feel they deserve to have every last item in a game, even if they weren't around at the time, or simply didn't partake when the opportunity was presented to them. To me, that is entitlement.

They don't deserve to get it any more than you deserve for it to be exclusive.

Apart from a couple items released for the express purpose of commemorating people's presence at the close of the 1.x version of the game, nothing else has been offered as an exclusive event item. Items that you receive through events may possibly wind up as de facto exclusives if they don't happen to be offered again, but there's no reason to expect exclusivity as an entitlement on them.

You (and a lot of people with the same view) seem to think that just because something has ever had a period of not being available, it should therefore never be available again. That's nonsense.

You seem to like me But in all seriousness, being of the opinion that some items should remain exclusive is not the same as lording it over someone. That is simply being an adult and acknowledging the fact that sometimes cool rewards get passed out to those who participated in something special. That is it.

I think some items should come back annually, like how it does in XI. If you read all my posts, you would have seen that before claiming I don't want anything to come back ever.
