Why is the PvP Shadowstalker set unavailable permanently?

[Catwho]

This is totally illogical. People pay more money for collector/limited edition items. That's why Endwalker Collector's Edition was $200, but the standard edition was $40.

Right now people without the PvP rewards and people with the PvP rewards are both paying $13/month.

The time limited aspect means items in the real world are gone forever, too. They'll make a limited run of those collector's editions, charge more for them, and then once they're sold out, not offer them any more.

Sometimes they're also limited by only being available at a specific store, such as Gamestop. Sometimes they're limited by the physical item that was produced, like the Shiva statue and the attached Diamond Dust emote. (At least they did a re-release of that figure, but it was straight up out of stock for years, and is now out of stock again.)

"charge more for them". People with feast rewards didn't pay more for exclusive rewards. They paid the same. So how come I am not getting the same rewards as they are?

While I would like some of the ranked pvp sets available as well, they were earned by those people who took the time to do it. So it does seem a bit unfair to them for the rest of us to get them just because we want them. But more to the point a request may go a lot further than a demand.

[RitsukoSonoda]

So by your logic on PvP ranking rewards which is essentially a prize for a competition then for RL competitions with actual rewards the prizes should be available to everyone... so like anyone that wanted it could have their own official Superbowl championship ring for whatever year they wanted it even if they never played football in their life?

I need to speak to whoever decided that it's OK to have a piece of glamour be forever unobtainable. There are a total of 6 data centers, so only 600 out of 20+ million accounts have access to the Shadowstalker glamour. Some of those accounts also cheated their way to get the set. It's completely unacceptable that as paying customers we don't have access to all the game's content because it's time-limited. This is exactly the kind of anti-consumer malpractice that led to a certain MMO on the market to die. I demand that Square Enix release the Feast exclusive rewards in Endwalker with Wolf Marks.

... I kind of agree, I would love if previous Feast gear was obtainable somehow. I don't mean trivialise the achievement involved in getting them or anything, but... would beat them no longer being available at all whatsoever, right?

[Vahlnir]

I think you've got bigger mysteries to solve, like Fall vs Winter. Which is it? Maybe we'll never know.

[Stormfur]

Make it purchasable with wolf collars. Not marks. Like 50 of them. That's 10 seasons of gold ranking. That way you actually have to play Feast and actually have to rank but you don't have to no-life it / pay to win.

Only the top 100 PvPers on each of the 7 datacenters are allowed jam on their donuts.

people, please stop responding to these obvious trolls...
