While admittedly a lot of the old events were not the most exciting thing, a few of them were pretty fun. The original FFXI crossover with Shantoto was great, and it was a one time thing never to return. Sure you can buy the event items on the cash shop, but maybe they should at the very least consider some sort of cash shop item that grants you an item that unlocks the quest chain for you to do instead of ignoring the old content entirely.
