So let me get this straight. Bioware has rewarded us with a number of cartel coins, titles, and once only items for subscribers and veteran players since day one, but you don't think that they are rewarding us? Get a grip. Giving unique items to old school players has always been a focus of Biowares, hence why they said that once an item is removed from the game, it's gone forever.

Maybe you should look back and read dev posts before making yourself look like an idiot.

Either way, were getting off topic. This isn't about items. I just want a great event to come back. Tatooine or otherwise.

I'd be fine with different rewards...as long as the crystal isn't orange in any way, shape, or form.

Still I don't see why the same rewards couldn't be used. That would be fine too.

I think it is a shame that created content that entertained so many is shelved for eternity.

Wow whats with the name calling? All Im saying is that you yelling Ill quit makes you sound like a child. You agreed that you were acting spoiled.

My other point was that if we get the event back, same rewards or not it is a good thing. The Rakghoul Event was a good solid in game event. One and done rewards are generally given out during real world events. In game events are almost always repeated in some form or fashion.

It's not about support. If I made it sound like that then I apologize. It's a once only item. There have been events that have had items that I haven't gotten. The Nar Shadaa event last August for example, I don't have the pet.

It's about being unique. As I said, that's one of the great things about this game. If you find a look that is unique to your own, then great. It's yours. You have an armor set and color crystal that is unique to you. If the entire server starts getting black core and green color crystals then those of us who were there for the event and got the crystals, now feel like they got nothing for that time period.

I can see I'm being out numbered here. Obviously most people don't have the black and green crystals. That's fine. But in every MMO there are unique items which are no longer attainable. Many items in WoW for Transmogify for example are no longer there.

Being a supporter of the game and getting unique items is what makes MMOs awesome. Going in from the ground up and acquiring items that will never be seen again is part of playing an MMO.

I didn't agree that I'm acting spoiled. I agreed that from your perspective that I might be seen that way. That's fine, your entitled to your own perspective. But some of us like the unique items that we have acquired.

Tell ya what. Do the event again, different rewards. Make the previous rewards BoL or enable us to add to collections. That would actually be an excellent compromise. You get your uniqueness and I get the ability to give the rewards to new toons.

But you, as a completionist, probably got a Hyrotti Scrapper though right? That was originally touted as a one-of-a-kind reward that has since been whored out to every digsite in the galaxy. And that's fine. Many missed the Chevin event and can obtain the speeder another way.

This false precedent of "once-only" items is just simply not true anymore.

In the last live video thing they said that the rakgoul plague was not coming back to the galaxy, they said it has been eradicated. .
Bruce later commented that he should have realized that many people would not see the sarcasm in that comment.

We got lame color crystals that we can show off in only color because honestly, yellow and black looks absolutely terrible and no one even shows those off even if they do have them.

So yes. If having something from a once in a life time event that I don't wish to have repeated makes me spoiled.... Then I guess I am. That crystal was one of the first few good crystals that this game had to offer. Before the purple crystal, we had green and black. That color is unique and should be forever preserved. I loved the event, but this event was at a time when most people were quitting this game. Those color crystals are the only thing that show our dedication to this game, and the only digital item I'm able to cherish from a time when most people had given up on this game. You pre-ordered this game two years ago? Good for you. You got a color crystal. We have the green and black crystal because we played for two weeks when this game was dead.

So yes. I'm spoiled. I'm spoiled because I supported Bioware through the thick and thin, and I want something to show for it.
Since you felt the need to say you been playing since Beta so will I. I have been playing since Beta and saying you will quit over something like that does make you sound like a spoiled child. Where these people feel they are owed stuff just for playing is beyond me. I actually hope they do bring it back and keep the same rewards so I can see you not quit the game like you said you would.
