Because visually-unique items being lost forever and out of reach to anyone who wasn't there at the time is disappointing. If these were real limited-edition items released with the game, it would be possible to buy them secondhand if you wanted them. There's no way to do that with account-locked items - and no manufacturing costs involved in making more.

I don't even expect the EXP bonus. Just make the items available again as statless, functionless glamour items.

The Baron set is really pretty, and I've seen maybe two people using it the entire time I've been here.
