Suggestion: For Rising 2019

[Rogatum]

I don't mean to answer a question with another question, but why shouldn't exclusives be forever? They're not really exclusive otherwise...

Much as I'd love the Legacy tattoo on my 2nd character (which was created around 2.2) or to be able to get items from previous Rocket League seasonal events or to be able to get items from the Battlepasses of previous seasons of Fortnite... I can't. There's also a ton of games out there I can no longer get preorder items/skins/bonuses from, because I missed out and didn't do it at the time. This is really no different.

Personally, I feel the aspect of non timed exclusives are anti-consumer. While I do not like timed exclusives, I do feel they are a happy middle ground.

I concur on this, I've played other games well after they've existed and I've seen limited-release exclusives out there that I really want. However I just accept it, I wasn't there when the game first came out or participated in a big "once-in-a-lifetime" event where they were released. Just because I want it really doesn't really mean I deserve it. I should have picked up the game a lot sooner then. Such is life eh?

To a degree I feel the same, I am not going to go on a crusade for everything to be made available me in virtue of playing the game. It is the way things are, and is something I live with, nevertheless, I will say that I also cannot think of a reason for non timed exclusives to even exist in the first place though. That does not hinge on the fact of I have this item and I do not want others to have it.

On a personal level, I have the spectral tiger mount in WoW, if they made the choice to put said mount on the cash shop I would not be against the idea, I would be all for it. I know this mindset is strange, but the idea of keeping things away from others strikes me odd. I understand it is business, and just the nature of things. Now I am not saying hand everything away to everyone with no effort. At the very least I do think people should be provided with alternative means to obtaining older items. I get that with more options items that are currently rare will no longer be rare, I just do not see the issue with that. Though I am no developer or business owner. So I am sure they have their reasons behind doing what they do.
