I hate this "limited time only" crap in games. Why not give stuff for free in events or if something else is bought, but after that let players buy it?
Answer: Because some players (are selfish) like having things that others can't get.

I have no problem with other players having the exact same (or different colours or whatever) Nvidia fairy as mine.

Answer: Exclusivity means they can charge more for it. See: Gold Clan 'mechs.

Selfish players? You sound entitled.

I want to be able to put more than one bobble head on my dashboard - then people can be jelly of all my girlfriends.

Multiple bobble heads are a great idea!

I sound entitled because I believe everyone should be treated equally and have the ability to have something I have?

how about a urbie cheerleader cockpit item

[DAYLEET]

Its been said many time since the GI release. Theres no reason to not have more cheerleader painted in different colour than the GI one. That way theres no exclusivity problem and everyone gets a cheerleader.

Man, thats so not my kind of music but that "trailer" kicked so much asses. They were really getting good at doing these and then they stopped doing them :/

The best part about those showcases was how they tried to advertise those stock builds in the most epic fashion. The Banshee one comes to the most. It had such a **** loadout, but I'll be damned if they didn't try to make it look like it was the best thing ever.

La Malinche was one of my fav trailer. At the start when hes moving toward you with his arms hanging low and torso tilted forward, looking at you... Thats the serial killer "im coming for you and you cant escape" stance.

You don't want anything to be exclusive, you think everything should be available to everybody.

So yes.

Another thing to consider is the people buying the exclusive paid over the odds on the day for it.

How many of those that bought it, and still spend money on the game ?

P.G.I has a very poor track record for making something exclusive, and then changing their mind, as trust once broken is hard to regain.

This all goes back to the Phoenix packs.

The hotrod camo was advertised as an exclusive, then a few weeks before release P.G.I suddenly got 'forgetful' and tried to say it was not so and only given free.

Unfortunately for P.G.I people took pictures and saved it before they had time to erase their deceit and alter the web page to suit them.

So when P.G.I came to the day they wanted to resell the phoenix packs the community stuck a finger up at them.

Had they not been sleaze bags they probably would have got their wish or the phoenix packs being available to all.

Since then Exclusives haven't been touched.


Nvidia dawn fairy though was a gift code item created for Nvidia though and that and the other itmes from magazines have been rewards for events.

From the polls most were just upset that they were sold those items on terms such as limited time only as well as spending x amount of money and then pgi was going to just give them away for free. If you went to a housing realtor bought a house for thousands of money then the guy behind you gets the same identical house for nothing just because he came in later than you you'd probably be upset. I don't have a problem with pgi reposing and re-texturing old items then giving the altered items for free.

Would it be possible to get the Grid Iron cheerleader cockpit item in a future event? Or at least have it in the store for a limited time? I bought the Grid Iron a day or two after that promotion ended and always wanted to get one of those.

Dunno, but be careful with double zoom.
In the Grid Iron, the cheer leader's pompoms end up looking like two hairy...Tribbles swinging from side to side.
