White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

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.

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.

It wasn't a freebie that all legacy players got though. You had to clear a pretty hard fight to get them.

My main issue with this is that they billed it as a limited time thing. So if the event just hands these out they pretty much went back on what they said.

I'm well aware, but who is to say that later players were not capable of such feats, because they subbed at a later time?

[Yoruichi4478]

Really? You're going to diminish our efforts and trophies of a bygone era that we worked so hard to obtain by giving them out as rewards? That diminishes entirely, the effort we went through to clear Nael deus Darnus HM and takes away the accomplishment and achievement of clearing what was the hardest fight in 1.0. Shame on you SE. I have worn those proudly as a show of my support I had for 1.0 as my earring glamour this entire time and I've never stopped playing, and now you're going to trash that. Have you guys forgotten this? How can I proudly wear these as glamour if you're just going to give them out as event rewards willy nilly? That's just crapping all over something that was 1.0 exclusive, and should remain 1.0 exclusive. How can ppl be impressed by them if they're just event item rewards now? I worked so hard to get that fight cleared and now you've dumped all over that accomplishment. GJ, SE. I am very upset now. This is worse than Goobbues for the Sylphs.
It's not a sense of entitlement, it's a trophy for those of us who got that fight cleared in that era, and items from achieving things in those days should stay there.

Those earrings were from accomplishing the hardest fight in 1.0 and completing the final Hildebrand quest of 1.0 and should remain so. Don't trash us 1.0ers after all the support we gave you buy dumping all over our accomplishments of that time.
Why not dump on us further by handing out the Dalamud Horn so that ppl who never did the quest in 1.0 can have that too?

That's not the point tho. They didn't complete the fights. Why should they have the reward for clearing them?

Again, can I have a free Bahamut Ultimate weapon now, since the fight is outdated, and how skilled a player was when it was relevant doesn't matter now.

No, they wouldn't be able to because it was billed as a limited time event which they themselves said. So yes, if they said it was going to be limited and then change their mind later I can see how people would be annoyed. Anyways, I'm withholding judgment in case there is some kind of gimmick in the event.

I don't have the earrings btw.
