I agree with frid there are multiple items in this game that were a sign of weath atleast on my server it's white coven white lugh broom of doom and darkflame not really the oldest players cause a lot of people couldn't get back then
The reason the items existed were because of old players. They had the tough choice of wether to keep the items or not. Because of how meaningful the items were, a good amount did keep them, some did sell however. Some of the people, though, cared enough to keep these items. They were usually the ones in need of gold too(at least from my experience), so it really showed a lot about how much they liked them. Others kept old items as investments, but this was less so.
The value on old items can only go up, as it can only get older therefore rarer. Yes an item can stay steady too, but there's no situation it should go down(provided it's not valued for it's stats). So keeping old items is logical, and is a good reward for those who play.
Then this comes along...
Now let me give you an example. I bought darkflame pants for 950k in 2013. That was a pretty good deal for lugh prices because it never sells. I was offered 2m in 2014. Well this is the oldest armor in the game right? So it can only go up, so there was no risk in keeping it too, so I held onto it. Because there's no way they could bring back event stuff, especially the first event..... Right....? Hahaha no. So this hits and I had to fast sell it for 500k(and I was lucky I got that), because the value was falling like a rock. That and it was meaningless to me as a collector now because it was no longer ultra rare(or meaningful of Halloween 2011 because anyone could get it). It's just a terrible version of solstice now.
Now me being me it doesn't affect me and I don't really care about my loss. But that kinda money is a lot to other people, and even if they don't care they lost it I care they lost it because it was done in an unjust way.
And a broom of doom is worth a lot more then dark flame is... Even if it's a rarer drop, if it drops at all then it's not event anymore(because it's not temporary), and it's instantly called on that and drops a huge chunk in price and isn't iconic of it's event anymore.
It's just against all logic and reasoning to bring it back, and I'm shocked it actually happened.
