White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

[Zsolen]

ARR players don't deserve anything from 1.0, and yet they are constantly trying to appeal SE to release them. People who have never touched foot in 1.0 but still feel that they deserve to have these items suffer from entitlement issues.

That's a request, which is different from feeling entitled. Feeling other people should not be allowed to have them is some capacity, whether earned, bought, or handed out like candy, is entitlement.

Edit: They aren't trophies, but you can use your stories to inform people on what 1.X was like, including that fight. People don't respect someone with the "This is my trophy" mentality for playing a video game at an earlier point. Who are you trying to impress? Tell your story to anyone that wants to hear it. You'll be glad you did. It'll bring back memories.

It seems like a lot of players from the days of 1.0 have an awfully inflated opinion of themselves. Let's not forget that the original game crashed and burned. It did have some redeeming qualities but ultimately it isn't that impressive for someone to have secured digital items five years ago in a game that had to be shut down and rebuilt.

The lodestone has announced the new Rising event.

I want to express my fervent disappointment in the decision to bring a Trophy item like this back and just hand it out like it means nothing.
This item is a direct symbol of the games origins but most of all, to those of us who earned it through battle.. well its a message that nothing in this game is worth anything.

That's funny because I'll store this item and forget about it. It's nothing I'll ever use. Are you somehow insulted over that? strange.

it was his great special price for beating the hardest boss in 1.0.

and now everyone will get it basically for free, and the earrings will lose all value as a trophy.

and for what? that people will throw it like some trash into the armoire and forget about them? great reason to take away his trophy...

The only value the earrings had before was as a memento. That value will be the same afterward.
Value as a trophy was none and zero before, since nobody else cared about what had been done to get the earrings.

Same thing for all other item rewards in the game - they will impress nobody else, and have zero value as trophies.

oh my.... you know this game could end without people who came after ARR ? or dont you see that ? i understand it can feel pretty bad , but dont act that you are so special and nobody can deserve it

So wait, let me get this straight. Because its from 1.0, and was a reward for clearing the hardest boss of the game, people think 1.0 players are "entitled" for asking that it not be an event reward?

So, if I asked for the very first World Cup trophy, or Olympic gold medal, that should be ok, because it was a long time ago, right?

Or your yearly performance bonus.

I love the animosity towards legacy players over this.

And yet, they are being attacked for no reason. This wasn't an event item, no one cares about those. Can I have a free ultimate weapon instead? Cuz no one does that anymore, its worthless.


And for the record, I don't have the earrings, so I have no attachment to them.

People are just jealous someone has something they can't get, so they would rather see it handed to them for nothing rather than have it remain a status symbol, because that makes them feel bad.

What status though? Seriously. The people that speak out in such a way have has their status diminished. I'd be fine with making it a challenge to obtain the earrings, but playing a game at an earlier time is no indication of skill. However, it looks as though SE decided against that. That's their choice.

Share stories. Not insults. Not negativity. Don't throw away the opportunity.

It's basically like making the ultimate titles and weapons available in the next summer event.
