White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

Why do people who have not done the content, receive the reward from that content???

There's a faulty assumption implicit in your question: that it's possible to obtain the item without doing the content from which it is a reward.

The item is untradeable, so until it's available via the Mogstation, the only way to obtain is to do the content that rewards it. It's simply that "the content" has been expanded to include the 2018 The Rising.

Bard, play Despactio.

Why did I even try?

At least its a exclusive extra so its a item that actually goes into armoire
So easily used in glamor plates with no space taken.
But on a side note i find glamour accessories very pointless,
Of course there is some that stand out like wedding ring and skalla necklaces are quiet popular i normally just glam them to be invisible since most are just jarring and have no place as glamour for me.

It's absolutely amazing what will make some people have a full-on meltdown. I kind of hope this keeps going just for the spectacle.

I wasn't going to use the earrings because I think they're ugly and a five-year-old fight I didn't even know existed means approximately 0 to me, but now I think I'm going to glam them onto every alt and retainer I have. Before this thread I would have just thrown them into the armoire with those red hoops we get.

Unfortunately, Tiraelina, you are making an assumption which has very obviously been proven false simply by looking at the lodestone. They decide what value to ascribe to the word 'content'. Given that the Japanese Company Home Office makes the final decision anyway... it could even be said that a nuance in translation could be a thing? Who knows. Either way... it is their code and they decide what to do with it and when.

I think, honestly, the only time anyone has gotten their backs up about attitudes of 'lording over' anyone has simply been when attitudes have flared up in this thread. Opinions become heated and passions flare. People want to be 'right' and throw words around like 'you don't DESERVE this' and that will naturally get a response back, because the developers have obviously decided differently for their own reasons.

If people start to get heated, perhaps they need to step away before they get unpleasant towards each other.

We really will argue over just about anything.

There is no actual advantage to having this thing. It's for glamour. Everyone needs to chill. Most people won't even use it past the first week or two after release.

I'm sad to see people that attached to something such as this. In something as transitory as an MMO, I'd like to think that people would hold greater value for the experience and the memories over the virtual trinkets.

I'm not clearing Ultimate Bahamut or Ultimate Ultima anytime soon, but if I did, I would personally not bat an eye at the prospect of someone getting those shiny weapons for free a few years down the line. At the end of the day, I would know what my group had to go through, and that'd be enough. These are the things that truly stay with you.

The only reason legacy items are different is because you are locked out from the content as it was never recreated for the new engine.

And to think anyone gets respect for anything legacy only is just wishful thinking also to this day I've never seen anyone with it as glam and i played since 2.0.

If you base feelings on a virtual item and then want to lock out others it's just selfish. Focus on the real thing the celebration that this game is still here ... rather then clinging on to the remains of a broken one.

And yea perhaps a few did really enjoy 1.0 maybe even better then what we have now but will all players having that earrings take that from you?

If you want to hate something focus you're hate on pagos

Because there is nothing extra to say.

There are people who have it already and value it as a memento of a hard fight from a bygone era.

There are people with no strong feelings either way who just like to comment on things anyway.

And there are people who want it released to everyone so we can all have a copy of it in our armoire.
