Lightning Returns Again (Thank you Square)

Which other MMO you are talking about? WoW / Gw2 / TSW and others MMO do the same events + new ones every year. You can ALWAYS get the stuff from old events each year (like Super Adventure box in GW2... and they don’t pay subscription fee) + the new items/ prizes from new events.

In WoW, the seasonal events are mostly the exact same rewards that have been there since the event has been released. FFXIV has had different rewards for the most part each year.

There is definitely 100% stuff that be obtained from old events. There have been quite a few one time events that you're just out of luck if you wanted the Arcanite Ripper, anything from pre-expansion patches, anything that came from a dungeon that has since been revamped, the cosmetic from the time they brought MC40 back but gave it a 1% drop rate, etc.

For other games I guess I was mostly thinking of SMITE and LoL with exclusive skins that I miss quite a lot from dropping in and out of the game. I don't know about Perfect World or GW2, but having an event and then never ever EVER releasing the items again is not an uncommon practice for online games.

We don’t even have actual events (MMO style) here but REALLY short (30min +/- ) seasonal quest and they are going to sell you those items prolly 10$ each. I just don’t get a reason to be happy about. I was happy when I though they may repeat the event… till I read the info and notice was a cash shop update.

Personal opinion, but I think our seasonal events are heads and tails above WoW's seasonal events. I guess I'm happy because I've just kinda accepted that games are just gonna get more expensive if they're gonna keep up the quality. I mean FFXIV has like 10% the subscribers of WoW, and I think it's a much MUCH higher quality game for non-raiders. I know people are saying that FFXIV is really lacking content, but I came over here after being burned from WoD, and I can honestly say this is NOTHING compared to the travesty that happened over there, so maybe my standards are lower too.
