White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

I don't get the obsession over having exclusive trophies. It's what you accomplished that means something, not what you got from doing it.

Someone else having the same item doesn't take away what you accomplished.

It kind of does and more people having something diminishes the value, hence rare things going for more/being more valuable. Some people don't see it as just something they accomplished but something they have that's also rare.

I didn't play 1.0 but I would be annoyed if I were in this situation, It's ok to keep some things exclusive.

I agree with items - but leave my tat alone please!!!!!!!

The equivalent really isn't ultimate gear, it's eureka gear. It's taking an item from a different game that shut down years ago and putting it in this game.

Maybe they can give a housing trophy for those that have the achievement?

I wouldn't mind, but I think some would ask for the fight to be opened back up. Then people will complain that the fight was for a limited time only, so they will then get something else. They people will want a way to achieve that something else. And so on.

When I won this bike from the lottery, I was really happy. It is the only bike like this in the world. No bike looks like it. And it's mine:



Then I saw a person riding this bike and was horrified How could they dishonor me like this?:


Luckily, I realized it was just a replica. Not the same bike. Crisis averted.

I really want these earrings. With the amount of aggro they are generating I won't ever have to switch to tank stance ever again.

For those stating that SE should have made the event reward a 'replica' White Ravens instead of the real thing, players still would have complained, as they did exactly that when SE added the laurel gobbue mount ages ago, that it "invalidated the exclusiveness of the 1.0 gobbue" or something - never mind it wasn't the 1.0 gobbue at all it was the fact it was a gobbue period that triggered a section of 1.0 players (and made the rest of us look ungrateful). Hence even if they had made the White Ravens gained in this event a mere replica, there still would have been complaints.

So really, once again it shows that no matter what Yoshi does it will always be wrong, that players will never be satisfied, and that someone will be disappointed. Really the poor guy may as well just give up trying to appease us as he'll never win...

Some players would probably complain yes, but at least I wouldn't feel guilty for getting the item. "You can't please everyone" is no reason to hand out one of the very few exclusive test of skill prizes in the game as a participation prize. Distinguishing between those who earned it and those who were present for The Rising 2018 would quell a lot of the unhappiness... and for those who won't be happy no matter what, well, at least you can prove you have the original.

People are complaining about the idea of people having a chance to prove themselves though.

Unless I'm grossly misunderstanding something (and I could be, I'm very tired), people are upset because a very rare and hard-to-earn item is being handed out as part of a 15 minute text quest chain. Not because of some hypothetical revival of the event that could give players who surpass the challenge the reward.
