Ignited, I agree with much of what you said. I hardly ever hear of anyone whining in-game or elsewhere about 71 elites. Some people see my old vanities and such and ask where I got them and say they hope they'll have the chance one day to get something like them, but that's the end of it. They don't carry on and they don't demand STS bring them back. We are no longer in the 70s as far as character caps go. You now have the elite rings and the new special elite items, some of which are pretty OP. Who knows, maybe one day STS will boost the cap to 81, 85, etc. and some of those items will be discontinued. For Golem, would you still feel the same then? Would you advocate that newer players get what you worked hard to get during the 80 cap campaign? The others are right, there has to be some kind of division amongst players so everyone doesn't look the same and doesn't have the same stuff. Maybe you should ask yourself what is the REAL reason you want black drag and 71 elites brought back. Is it because you think they look "cool?" Because aside from the procs like the EWT gives, what's the point of actually playing with them in the higher dungeons? Are appearances that important, or should practicality weigh in? Even if black drag was returned to the game, I can guarantee ability to craft a 3pc and combine with that black drag ring would not be restored, so if that's a reason you wanted it, it shouldn't be. In any event, for a game that was not supposed to be updated again, Cinco sure has gone out of his way to ensure that he gives us new content and some events. So, why not be happy with what they've done thus far, rather than continually asking for more more more? There might be one day in the future when they implement another limited-time event with a special dragon/dragon set as a bonus, who knows! You know, we just had a Halloween Event where players could get new re-colored vanities and purchase permanent costumes. Guess what?! The newer players coming in won't have that stuff, and even if STS recycles the events next year, the items likely won't be exactly the same. So there ya' go - you have something that can set you apart from the new players!
