We don't need them anymore.

Tell me you've never played MMOs before FFXIV without telling me.

The solution to this is to create brand new sets, or carrots, if you will. Not recycle old ones that people worked hard to get under the promise of them being exclusive and limited-time availability only.

The problem with this is when only one part of the game works this way it makes no sense.
why is PVP the only mode that gets time exclusive rewards for being a top end player? They don't turn off ultimates after the expansion is over, you can go back and steamroll savage raids a year later and get the mount and glam.
It never made sense in wow either.
