Throughout the VAST majority of this game there has nearly alwayway been a differential based on when you played and what you might have done to earn what, which was going to be exclusive.
That is one the the things that used to drive me,
that was why I didn't "go to any other game".
And what's this so called "right reason" in the eyes of...you? I've said twice it isn't even remotely about self-gain. As for your stance on exclusivity, I strongly disagree.
Uh, nope, not even a little bit. Different items are meant to represent various things. Founder's was created to represent founding players, CoP was to recognize those who hit the first elite cap, Tourney Shield, Over Achiever helm, Volconut, etc. Those vanities had a story attached to each of them. They were something players had to actually work hard to earn through various means, and not just sit in town and buy. Countless items played the role of showing off your wealth, not every item needs to. There's much more to PL than just gold. Having a lot of gold grants you several privileges as is, it shouldn't get you everything.And please not this undeserved crap again. Don't you think someone who has worked hard to earn 50M deserves to be able to buy a founders?
Lol, huh? Countless games have exclusive and limited items. Pre-order incentives, limited collector's editions, exclusive releases of the game, limited holiday items/DLC, various events. I have no idea what you're talking about there. Also, how do exclusive vanity helms and items that aren't even viable in PvP inhibit anyone from being "the best"? You mean to tell me Johnnythebear can't be the best bear in PL because he doesn't have a CoP on his head and a Tourney Shield in hand? I'll also ignore the fact you may actually be suggesting pay-to-win is a better practice than having exclusive/limited items.Go to any other game. There's no discrimination based on when you joined. You have every chance to be the best, whether it's by playing too much or paying too much.
if cinco was truly loco he would re-release EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
NEW IGN RAGGADORR | I LOVE MYSTICALDREAM
But what's the point when the new players cant literally get anything lol? I think this update made a majority of ppl happy and you can now always work towards something. I know a lot of people that had exclusive cap vanities and founders that actually cashed in hard with their items. I think this is a way better scenario than people being stuck with same lame stuff for ages. I mean if u started in 76 cap which was a while a go.. u had never the ability to get even a 3pc, foxes and rhinos never saw them from the day they were released. This way everyone can get a piece of the cake and work towards something.
Even if you got a cop back in sewers cap? Whats the point of having same stuff in a game that isn't really moving anywhere, there's no more huge updates like there used to be, it's just a fact. If sts were planning to continue adding huge updates like proper designed caps and adding new vanities I'm pretty sure they would never have done free trade. Adding free trade and 999m gold cap just encourages people to play more. Just imagine if they never did free trade, lets say they just extended gold cap, do you really think the game would be as lively as it is right now. NO. And games are all about player experience, which obviously got a lot better after the update.
So you mean discovering the game early enough to get a Founder's helm is hard work? Then you have no idea. Some vanities can be meant for special purposes, but what does this have to do with a Valentine's Event? Having gold doesn't grant access to everything. You can't get a Tourney Shield, a Volconut or a Founder if the owner does not want to sell. Valentines on the other hand is a recurring event. There will be all sorts of new Valentines based gear.
Basically you want to own an item that was made in 2010 and say in 2017 that "I have this item. I joined before you, so I'm better than you". You shouldn't deny it. And Sue outright said it. If you do the same kind of discrimination with skin color, it's called racism, and I hope you don't support that as well.
Honestly that is the reason we're all here, you're absolutely correct Ghost. And it's also the reason for new players not being here. And if you think STS is going to keep updating for the same people year after year, well tough luck KingFu.
Other games have exclusive items. But a person who doesn't have them isn't shunned away. Besides, there's always the option of trading with real money in other games, which isn't an option in PL, thus the idea of making all items tradeable.

You put words in ppls mouths and twist what they say. When he said hard work it was specifically mentioning other items in a separate sentence.
Yes it does now, minus human faces.
Hey, there's a good idea, new items.
Again twisting things and putting words in ppls mouths- No one said they were "better than you".
To compare this to racism is disingenuous and hyperbolic to say the least, you couldn't be more wrong.
"shunned", really? Lol ppl need to take responsibility for their own perceptions and grow some thick skin before they go on line
Oh please. We all have our own perceptions. Wrong is such a vague and relative term. You're as wrong as I am.
It may not be you, but you know that most of the community that still plays started a long time ago, and you know that a lot of people openly belittle new players.
What matters is experience. If you joined on the release date and never played since then, you would automatically have a founders. Did you deserve it? I don't think so.
I don't care if some people want exclusive items. It doesn't matter to me. But what does matter is the fact that people declare themselves better than others solely for owning some of these vanities, and as I mentioned, you may not be one of these people.
There's no point of me arguing any more. We got off on the wrong foot. I didn't mean to point you out in particular, but you cannot deny that the majority of the community has this mindset.
If things keep going like this, it doesn't matter how many updates PL gets, because as long as the player base doesn't increase, PL will remain a dead game.
Come on they can't win this
Re-releasing old items? Old players mad because exclusivity
Releasing wholly new items? New players mad because equality
Release altered items? Everyone mad because recolor
Release any items? PvPers mad because rebalance
At this point I'd be happy if there'd be any event with maybe something to farm and something to buy

I should say that I'm not actually mad at anything anymore (I was). I'm happy to see a surge in activity whatever does that at this point. I play devils advocate or take to either side if I think I can get ppl thinking differently.
Sue's response was pretty spot on, but I'll also add:
Wow, you're totally right. I entirely forgot about premium elixirs and Humania faces, silly me.Having gold doesn't grant access to everything.
Only there are several owners who do. Each of those examples I've seen in cs and know current sellers for. Name even one active item there isn't/hasn't been a seller for. Otherwise it's just yet another irrelevant hypothetical.You can't get a Tourney Shield, a Volconut or a Founder if the owner does not want to sell.
If only I had gone over my reasoning in a previous post. Heh. Anyways, you're right, this is so much worse than "I have this item. I'm richer than you, so I'm better than you."Basically you want to own an item that was made in 2010 and say in 2017 that "I have this item. I joined before you, so I'm better than you". You shouldn't deny it.
Now that is a valid and intelligent point, sir. Well done.
I can cherry-pick too. You're clearly more fixated on attempting to twist my words and go off on a tangent than you are to construct a coherent counterargument, so oh well. I'll take my support of racism elsewhere.
Alright everyone let's just take it easy
