[Request] Please make event gear harder to get outside of in-game events.

I don't see how you think you can extend the definition of entitlement used in the way you are using it.

Because the entire basis of your post revolves around you feeling like these unique event items have arbitrarily lesser value since someone else can buy them off the Mogstation a year later. It's the definition of entitlement. You want an item to feel special for no other reason than you believe it should be. These events are supposed to be a fun little side activity that happens to have cute items attached to it. The devs don't intend for said items to be something you can brag about participating in. Regardless, I can't speak for your server, but event participation is certainly not an issue on Balmung. We've had the damn server break because people flock en masse every time. So... I don't think the devs need to incentive these events anymore than they already do.
