Rainmaker Hair... for people that missed out?

Wow Chiramu, take it down a notch.
If people wanna buy it in a year, let them.

It's not fair for people who can't be bothered to keep up to date with the game you mean? Why should anyone cater to lazy-ness? Like I said, it should be like real life where if you miss out, you miss out; but Square is nice. I said that directly in my previous post you quoted.

... the 'event' literally took two minutes and consisted of talking to three NPCs with no meaningful dialogue or anything. It was basically, "we know you only care about the MGP perk. So... here it is!" Fairness is plain silly. You didn't work for this; you didn't do anything meaningful. You talked to someone for two seconds and got access to prizes. Who cares if someone else wants to purchase it off the Mogstation a year later?

Keep up with the game get it free, don't keep up, pay a price. That seems like a fair compromise to me.

Heavily exclusive content in mmo's has never done much good, the few that want the ego of having an item (they don't typically use) others don't doesn't compare to the many that would feel left out but are willing to pay or do something. It's ok when its a few things, but the longer an mmo goes and the more exclusive locked content it gets the more it bothers the late joiners who see many things they cant have without a good reason.

Not to mention its always a shame to have nice looking content held back and forgotten in the name of "exclusivity".

Being occupied with other things in my life instead of refreshing XIV news and updates every day means I'm lazy? lol ok.

Not sure why you're being so hostile? but the posters above me have explained the situation beautifully, no need for me to get involved at this point.

Thanks for your input anyway.

It wouldn't surprise me if they added the hairstyle to the MGP Reward Vendors item list, or made the hair available on the Mog Station soon, since the hairstyle fits the expansions theme.

Just keep an eye out ^^

I don't think you know everyone's situation. What if someone has surgery and cannot get on the computer, or life happens..etc? I agree with Rekujin, its just a video game and a hair style. As someone who has been around since 1.0 days...I have every item they ever released, but at the same time...(sans legacy items) I think its fine for people to re-obtain items they missed.

The event quest gave you an item to use that would give you 30k mgp... enough for all the items from the event and about 3k extra...

Yes... I noticed that item too late ... :|

I understand the exclusive model all to well; but waiting a year is beyond bad marketing; the want is there for the product with the new expac from the visual styling. So many people want to keep up with the trend. At this point SE is losing money by not putting it on the mogstation. The fact they don't over an exclusive item is a good thing. Within a year the cultural look will not be the fad, and SE will move yet again in another style to keep up with the times other games, etc. I do respect the exclusiveness of the item though for those that worked for it.
