    stop complaining. You collect at your own risk, use your common sense. Many other mmo rpg's have the same element, it's just a part of many games in that genre. The lb vanities is a prime example, now if the dev's released the lb vanities again then rant all you want, you collect at your own risk. All collectors should have thought have the idea of the items returning again, but no they don't want to be faced with whats possible.

    Well said. I agree that a few things shouldn't be rereleased, like lb vanities that were extremely hard to acquire. But legendary items like dark watch swords, tsunami blades, you used to be able to buy those for 200k. There's zero legitimately good reason why stuff like that shouldn't be rereleased. Personally, I hope that the Nordr jewel staffs come back next. That's one of the best looking staffs ever made, it would be lit if those were made into vanities. STS has the opportunity to revitalize the vanity market with events like this. Hopefully there will be more to come.

    Comparing 200k to like 2013-2014 is very wrong, 200k held a different valeu then it does today cause ya know inflation, if we were to compare it like that heralic, was like a common thing way back in the day and held way less valeu, should we compare it like that too? Doesnr make sence but yea i wasnt talking about the gold valeu of it all. You were

    Also in my opnion its very wrong to think the only way to be a collector is to collect lb vanitys.. like what thats such an unrealistic thing to even do, the old legendary gear held an unique status and not everything should have limited edition tag in their description and even if they do theres an chance sts will just release it anyway.. did we all forget that they released the spider queen bow twice..? They can on a whim decide what to release and what not and that makes every 'collectable' that isnt atleast forerunner valeu at risk.. so something has to be considerd of extreme valeu to be considerd a collectable but the mid/high tier collectables like the tsunami blades/depraved are just be tossed aside? Also this clearly indicates that sts will probably release all the old gears as vanity expect for the top end.. then whats even the point of startinf to collect if u need like 50m+ as a starting point

    I think he means that there is and was no safety net for collectors items. Sts didnt say they will never release them again while the description of lb items is saying that it is only obtainable in that specific lb, why would people run 2 weeks for an it otherwise.
    I would rather keep collectors stuff unreleased but he is right imo. Collector items have always had a risk to get rereleased in some way while lb items got announced as one time opportunity.

    Problem being only thing to expect to be collectable now are lb vanitys according to that logic and sts making an clear biased torwards 'expensive collectables' if you're gonna make collectables in a vanity then go all in or dont do it at all, allowing the really expensive collectables to stay the same while the other part gets screwed over.. and we dont even know what they consider super expensive could be anything. How it all stands now i have no idea what part of collection is basiscly dead and what survives. They could atleast have added some kind of recolor to it, collectables hold their uniqueness and we get a vanity in the same style win win

    Honestly, and ive said it a few times before, if you really want something unique with a very small chance to ever have it being brought back: get a leaderboard vanity set. And not talking about the old golems because i wouldnt be surprised if they came back, but the new ones.
    I honestly dont see these coming back as they were never tradable in the first place.
    Its really sad to see old gear being brought back but its also refreshing.
    Ive always been someone to shout first come first serve but if an item completely dies out its just a shame.
    StS knows best what to do, and be happy this is all they brought back,i can name a dozen worse options.

    They recolored them already, I wouldn’t be surprised if they go the extra mile to be quite frankly with you.

    Collecting pixels, lol.
    I’m rubber and you’re glue, what bounces off me, sticks on you..
    Stop assuming my posts are emotional. I don’t care that much.
