    The reward was clear: place top 100 and you can have this outfit if you want it and there's no other opportunity, so you need to do this now

    I wanted it, so I went through hell to get it. I wouldn't have bothered if I knew I could just kick the can down the road and not bother with the torture of ranked pvp on 280ms ping

    I played by their rules, I did what they wanted, and now they've gone back on their word and I'm annoyed about it. I didn't have to do any of that at all it seems like.
    Is it really so wrong for me to be annoyed by it?
    you can be annoyed all you want man, but in the end, i doubt anyone truly cares
    more glams for more people is universally a good thing, regardless how you slice your rants about exclusivity, prestige and whatever other reason you can come up with
    they will give "Replica" prefix to the new gear and the original gear will stay original, so you can flaunt you going through hell to get it, so all is good

    Yes. Yes you can have a wrong opinion. The absurdly overwhelming majority thinks FOMO is not good.

    It's easy for you to say when you didn't participate.
    Being made to devote your time to babysitting queues and playing high-tension sweatmatches for weeks then being told "actually we changed our mind now" is completely wrong

    You'll twist this any way you want because you want these prizes at any cost, there's no way you'll convince me that I wasn't cheated

    but you weren't cheated - the glam you have has* a "the original and authentic piece of glam you EARNED, good job soldier" tag attached to it
    the other glams will have a "made in china" tag

    is that not what you want? recognition, that you're the OG, the winner, that you worked hard for it?

    I wanted the outfit, I don't care about the "og" label. It was the only avenue to get it, so I had to
    I would've waited for a replica copy and not even bothered with that ranked hell if I could've

    Ultimate is still advertised as "buying a Ferrari" to paraphrase Yoshida. Except that ignores how it gradually becomes easier to the point UCoB and UwU are complete shells of themselves now.

    In other words, things change. Regardless, my point wasn't to refute what they said originally, but to say exactly what I did: nobody is going to have much sympathy for your preference to keep FOMO alive. Especially when you make dismissive comments like "I wouldn't have bothered if I knew I could just kick the can down the road"

    Kicking the can down the road is a couple months to maybe a year. Heck, I'll even grant you a whole expansion. Ten years is longer than the life cycle of nearly every console in existence.

    I tried doing FEAST. Didn't understand pvp enough at the time to become good at it. There's no twisting anything here. I think anybody should have Aeturna if they want it (the mount for 4+ clears of Eureka Orthos) and it shouldn't take a bare minimum of potentially 6+ hours per set just to complete one of the 4 tokens needed for it. But I stomached it and got the mount anyway.

    I'm not opposed to old Feast rewards costing Ranked currencies to purchase but you have to be.... I dunno, Gold or higher to earn them. Or be a higher rank to earn greater amounts of it faster. I'm opposed to Feast rewards being unobtainable and us being promised 3 years ago they'd come back.

    I'm opposed to the Elite Gladiator sets in WoW requiring reaching 1,800 Arena Rating score when Blizzard refuses to ban anybody for using cheating addons (literally anything giving you information you should not have, or automaton of gameplay in any capacity, there's TONS of these for WoW pvp and it's disgusting). But I'm not opposed to Gladiator sets being available for Tokens of Honor (pvp currency item) you have to do PvP -- and win -- to farm them. I'm also not opposed to every PvP Season mount being purchasable with Rating currency only earned through battles and victories at 1,000+ Rating.

    I'm not opposed at all to Destiny 2's Trial's of Osiris armor sets gaining a flared / flaming affect on the glyphs carved into them if you go Flawless (7 consecutive Match Wins in a row in weekly Ranked). The affect dims on the following week, and you lose it the week after the second if you don't go Flawless again. That's purely cosmetic. But you can get it at any time if you play hard enough for it.

    I'm opposed to the item being permanently unavailable in any capacity. So I'll reiterate: Nothing is twisted here. Your opinion is simply incorrect in the face of most people not liking FOMO.

    I'm annoyed and I do feel like I wasted my time, but in the end nothing I say will change the course of what's to come

    I'm just here as a showing that there are indeed still many around from back then and that these outfits have not just "gone missing"
    Everything comes at a cost, and what's good for you came as a loss of trust from those who feel similar as I do
