White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

They're earrings. Calm down.

Not just earrings, earrings you got after a terrible grind in a broken game and a broken 30 min encounter.

In 2.0, they are just earrings.

EXACTLY they are just earrings, so why do people insist on getting them and devaluing the hard work of the 1.0 players? I mean we all know people don't want those ugly earrings. The only reason they say they do is because they are biased and only care about themselves and not about the people who worked their ***ses off to EARN what they obtained. Theres nothing anyone can say to justify SE making and breaking promises either. There is no Statute of limitations on a primise. Promises are named promises for a reason, they have a definition and a meaning, and to quote my favorite game of thrones character "When enough people make false promises, words stop meaning anything". Nuff said~

why not make a new aniversary earring? Why choose this one that carries a certain value in the eyes of the legacy?

it's just a test ! Legacy chocobo, and legacy tatoo on the way for soon.

You just answered your own question. Because it holds significant value to the people of people that have supported this game since day 1, and the game itself. Again, you should feel happy and quite frankly lifted that the game is celebrating what you participated in.

"Hold on let me just make up an earring that holds no apparent value, and celebrate it"

You mean exactly like these situations would generally be handled having something commemorative representing it? They could've made a Dalamud mount or practically anything else with no problem.

Yes they could have gone with several different things, Wind-Up Nael comes to mind. I just don't see the issue with commemorating it with these earrings. Now if they sold it on Mogstation a year later that'd be something different entirely IMO.

I already linked to the posts from the team themselves why its a problem on page 19. This is what they were telling players that were currently paying a subscription. Get these items if you want them because they're not coming back. They already bent the rules with the Laurel Goobbue. Now they're just outright breaking their word. I wouldn't be surprised if it did end up on the store after either.

No, I didn't get the earrings because I mostly played Miner when I was on and shifted back to whatever else I was doing because you couldn't play for more than an hour before hitting forced failures. I'm also not envious someone else did. I wanted a large house which took until Shirogane to get.

SE doesn't need to rerelease exclusive items to celebrate the past. There are obviously other ways to go about it without ruining the achievements and trophies of the people who worked hard to earn the items and prestige they have earned. That's common sense really. You don't HAVE to release the same items just to celebrate that event. Just rehost the event with a replica or different item. It's still relevant and celebratory.

I’m actually a bit upset at this event! Who really wants “earrings” as a glamour reward for an event?!
Especially “ugly” ones like these ones....

Regarding the “snowflake” entitlement I couldn’t care less! In this game for a very long time now, a difficult mount to get, difficult piece of armour loses its “exclusiveness” in a short period of time as content keeps getting updated quickly. I kind of understand the legacy players, but I would be upset if they put it on mogstation. At least you can get it playing the game.

Still though, earrings?! Really?!

:P
