Seeing as the the ornaments not only cost $10 but also required XP grinding for season pass ranks, it wouldn't be fair to the people that actually spent the time grinding out the ranks that season. Getting to 100 takes a few dozen hours at least.
Well, you say that, but buying the Silver necessary for an armour Ornament set costs [b]more[/b] than a Season Pass.
Not to mention, a few dozen hours is nothing.
And exclusivity is more unfair, if you ask me.
$10 + a few dozen hours is less than $15?
So you would work dozens of hours for $5?
Or since it's "nothing" to you, work dozens of hours for nothing?
Time has value to some people. If you didn't spend the time, you don't get the reward, pretty simple.
At the end of the day, it's a cosmetic ornament, and nothing is "unfair" about keeping it locked for people who didn't care to get it at the time. It has zero effect on your ability to play the game.
[spoiler]I take long breaks from the game too. I missed most of Y2 playing other games and doing other things with my life. Anything that I missed out on in that time period, I [i]chose[/i] to miss out on. And so did you. [/spoiler]
