IT was a sneak peek map, as advertised. You got something unique that wasn't available generally.
Everyone knew what the reward was and most people said they weren't going to spend the time on the quest, and explained why as well. I think it was clearly an informed choice to go and get the Elite item in that time and to spend whatever platinum and time you wanted to.
Im not sure STS has to give any additional bonus to those items at all. Even if they did, there would be people complaining that they chose not to complete the quest based on what the reward was advertised and a new reward bonus would be unfair as they would have done the quest if they knew in advance..
