I hope not as there was no skill to getting those vs the PVP mounts. That's my only point.. if we're just talking about the pvp stuff then yes. Leave those alone. Everything else... couldn't care less as it's already devalued the moment anything new comes out anyway.
Oh, I agree about primal/savage, that's why I said I don't do them anymore. Doing something to distinguish yourself (in a game or otherwise) feels good.

Personally, I was always the type that would keep things exclusive to a time/place. Yes, even those FFX outfits, rarity keeps it interesting. But you are right, things are constantly being devalued as time goes on and that sucks. That's why I am against it, and, for example, support PVE timed exclusives like world first or world top 10 - 100 whatever. Even though I'm not terribly interested in raiding because raid night schedules doesn't fit in my life now. Ranked PVP queues (even in the slowest queue as a ranged player) works much better for me, I can play when I have time and attempt to climb the ladder.

I disagree (not with you specifically) that ALL THINGS should be available to EVERYONE FOREVER, because that opens the door to 1.0 stuff and PVP Top 100 / teams / Feast Regional Championship stuff. Whether or not to allow acquisition of something particular, on a case-by-case basis, is an entirely different conversation.
