Rainmaker Hair... for people that missed out?

If we going by that logic and you value a virtual item so highly, maybe should've asked a friend to pay your sub and have them do it for you?

Of course it's just a game and because of that I rather spent my time on another person than an ingame item. Nowhere I said that I "value a virtual item so highly", I just would be happy if I was able to get it someday - even with money. So... I don't really get what you want from me lol.

And as for the "slap in the face"-part, I'm pretty sure you're not only keeping your sub up to date to get a few event items, but to play the game on a (nearly) daily basis. As someone said before, getting the item within the event isn't a lot of work. It's just a way to get it earlier than those who weren't able to participate in said events. Again: Be happy you got the item right on time for free with a little story tied around, instead of having to pay and get it a year after the event had happened.

People asked me for ages how I got my broom before they released it on the Mogstation. Then they did and others were able to get it. Doesn't change the fact I did the quest on all my chars at that time to get it. I don't really see making anything available later on as any sort of slap in my face for being lucky to be subbed when it was going on.

My thoughts on this type of topic: Who cares if they throw it onto Mogstation. It's a glamour/mount/hairstyle change, and not game breaking. Does it make it any less special to me? Nope, not in the slightest. I got it for paying just my sub and doing the event, if someone else wants it after it's on Mogstation, then whatever. I don't have to pay that additional amount because they want it, it's up to them to decide to pay that amount themselves.

So I just came back from a long long break and I see this haircut on someone else and it is not shown in my haircuts at all. Anyways, I have researched about the hairstyle and it looks like I’m in the bunch that missed out on this. Does anybody have any word on when this haircut will be available either on the Mog Station or in any other future events?

Nice necro lol

Nice necro lol

Is the OP still relevant to this day? Yes. So who cares what date the thread was made. Keeping all info in one place instead of constantly making the same thread is better.

I'd agree with you but only for current threads, if you want to see the problem of necroing threads look at Shouko's post, people read the thread without looking at dates and start arguing about a point of view the other person might no longer have after a year, or the other person might no longer be in the forums and Shouko's post ends up just him talking to a wall.

With a new thread you ensure all participants are at least active and they are currently holding whatever point of view they explained, that's if you're actually interested in having a discussion in the forums, if you only want to give your 2 cents then I could see why other participants being absent wouldn't bother you.

Snip.

First I didn't necro the thread if that's what you're implying, I added my 2 cents without caring how old the post was, but I wasn't the person who necro'd it which technically not even a necro, last post was in October. People get too uptight about necroing on threads on the net. If they so desired they could lock the thread like most other sites but they don't which means anyone can post and a lot of people do at any time.

Why would making a new thread instead of a necro ensure discussion? If a thread is necro'd and people get to discussing it, then it's not longer dead but revived. Same concept applies in game, you don't just make a new character because it was KO'd otherwise we would never get anywhere.

Obviously you cared enough to post in a necro'd thread, so you must have some passing interest in the subject otherwise you would have skipped it.

You're getting all worked up because you thought I was accusing you of necroing the thread, so if I tell you I'm not accusing you of that will you dial it back?

The only thing I stated is that you replied to an old post and the person who posted that comment might either not be part of the discussion anymore or might not hold the same views after 9 months. And again I already mentioned this would only matter to people who actually care about having a substantial discussion, I already know this forum is filled with people who just want to add their 2 cents with no intent of discussing things.
