It's different, because in the case here it is a limited item that is already circulating. HOWEVER... BOOOOOO @ the staff answer! The proper reaction could be to take it away AND replace it with something similar awesome (a different unique statue!?). And the reasoning would be, because it is circulating and limited. But it is shameful to argue like “it's 20mil laying around and this cant be“. Wtf?! Why not? First of all, values are relative. When is an item “too valuable“ for that? And second, there is absolutely no sense in that. Already, e.g. during anniv events, 10+ mil items are given out by completely RNG-like methods? Every year players get huge values for nothing!
He should keep it. This item isn't 1 of 2, someone wanted to add 2 more during 2nd anniversary so we have 4 now. What's a 5th? If it really hurts the other owners , dye the damn thing and it will be similar to 1st anny 1284/1271 mask & sandal owners getting introduced to 6th anny 1282/1268.
I'm a fan of super low numbers. These vets spent countless hours collecting these items and have a right to hold them until the server collapses in 2040. If i owned a unique and another one dropped 5 years later creating 3 I'd be a bit annoyed. The thing Is this item already has 4 and Is passed uniqueness. It's a rare. Happy Thanksgiving
His reasoning is very troubling. As @Rad says, it’s probably some old vets that are pissed. Instant wealth is created every year by RNG methods like @BlackEye says. So why does it matter that I found instant wealth? Didn’t the vets do that too when they found rares?
Oooooh... sad! is my fault! i should not told that phallic symbol stupidness. This is a family friendly shard.
