I like how the argument is all "They donated then and stuck around all that time so they deserve it"..
...when a lot of people have been here for years, even if it's "years" since 2006, they stuck around too.
And there are those who would donate now to Gaia with out expecting in return, and gladly more than 2.50.
Who does that kind of mentality only count in o3? Because a few more servers failed? There's things in 10 that annoy users now as much as problems back then, just different issues.
Imo that 2.50 Halo was far more luck than commitment, heck some of them aren't even here today ironically. And some that did join in o3 and are still here don't have one....what about them?
As for the people who "Spent all that time questing it"...then they have 200 million gold on their hands they do what they want with, it's not a waste unless the price tag is what appealed to them.
I guarantee most people wouldn't want the thing if it wasn't so expensive.
And to people who have invested in it, it's not like you were selling it anyway...according to the above argument it's all "sentimental" value, which
doesn't diminish when Gaia gives one away every year somehow.
Yeah so if everyone had it, it's not so "special because you were hear first"...but people can buy them on the MP, they weren't here first { and yeah they "work" for it...but it's getting to the point of non-existence and impossibility} According to the argument it's the commitment to Gaia, that you didn't expect anything to show for it. Seeing a Halo doesn't ever make me think o3 User, seeing your join date does. If it's all about commitment and not the item it's self, why do you even need anything to show for it.
People who have stuck it out all these year's after the Halo are just as deserving, and just as committed, and just as willing to donate.
Gaia if you can't re-release the Angelic Halo, maybe not mass but at least a few more so they don't vanish...then make some new surprise item for those of us who have stuck it out at "new Gaia". If you want to be fair.

Just an old fart complaining about item value and inflation
