High Hrothgar Wraith, Loyal Dwarven Sphere and Mask of Cheerful Slaughter. Any chances that the players who came after the transition of the game to buy to play will be able to get it at least sometime Zenimax? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom. I do not think that these and any other collectible items should be exclusive only for some specific people. It is very crushing and stifling, to have absolutely no way to get it at least somehow at least sometime. There were limited shares with crown boxes gifts, as an example in one such one could get a white griffin pet, which could then be received as a reward in one of the future seasons of the boxes. In addition, as far as I understand, now your policy is such that it doesn't matter when you come to the ESO, you can get a bunch of bonuses for just a modest amount of money. I mean, it is certainly very generous to give new players the opportunity to purchase a game with five major additions (chapters) at once for the price of hardly one or two. In this regard I cannot understand why the long-standing rewards for the pay to play subscription of the game are still unique and not attainable for more players especially through the Crown Store.

✭This actually came up in a stream a few weeks ago, and both Gina and Jessica were pretty staunch on keeping them as legacy rewards, along with the Senche Mount and the Monkey from the Beta.
What's odd is that the Wraith and Dwarven Sphere haven't had "alternate" versions ever released. The Monkey was reskinned as a Jester's Festival Pet, the Senche has had a handful of similar-ish looking recolors, and the Mask of Cheerful Slaughter has a pretty close approximation with the Jester's Costume.
But the Wraith and Sphere Models and Animations have NEVER been reused.Edited by B0SSzombie on August 6, 2021 3:10PM3 -

I almost forgot that I had to create a new account, since at one time I could not remember the data from the beta account. You gave me another reason to be sad, thank you. D;1 -
Lady_Sleepless✭✭✭✭✭I hope they never come back. The point of them is that they are exclusive for those that were subbed for that first year. leave it as that.5 -

✭✭Played since launch. Subbed since launch. I have them, and I hope other people will get a chance to have them too.
I despise timed exclusivity.11 -

✭I have them too, I really couldn't care less if they were brought back for people who started playing later to get. The idea of "exclusive content" based on how long someone has played a game or having been lucky enough to have played at a particular time is the weirdest flex ever.[The Beauty of Tamriel] My collection of ESO screenshots

prof-dracko✭✭✭✭✭I think there should be "anniversary rewards" that you get every year you've been playing. That way the old things are always technically available, and the true vets will still get something exclusive to show off with.
At the very least some more accessible reskins, so other people can have some kind of ice wraith or sphere.4 -

People have been asking for reskins of those Pets at least since I joined ESO, myself included.
I even dug up a post I made almost exactly 3 years ago about it!

Sadly i've missed the "Dragon rise event". It was not for lack of interest but because i had to change home. I wish zos will give us a way to purchase those missed items.0 -

Like Psijic Villa, which was reward for Summerfall event, and then returned 2 times (iirc) in the store?
Or like Grim Harvester costume, which was reward for Dragonrise event, and was released in the store this month?
Or maybe like the rarest pure RNG mounts from older crate seasons, which can now be bought with gems (or even unlocked for free with Seals) as soon as their seasons return?
Or maybe like Clouded Senche Leopard mount and matching pet which were given away for free during Elsweyr Reveal stream (iirc)? I'm sure that all people who spent their crowns and gems on those mounts before it, were surprised
I myself wasted 200 gems cause of it. They both were returned as Legendary rewards in Storm Atronach crates literally few months before their free giveaway on Twitch 
Cosmetic exclusivity will never be a thing in ESO. Maybe only for some time, before items become available again (and nobody can now if they will return on fair terms, or on unfair terms). So never say never - the game is constantly changing, and one day every cosmetic item might return. Including those loyalty rewards.
Honestly, I don't see how people who still choose to subscribe nowadays, are less deserving to have those loyalty rewards...
It's not like their money have less value now. When the game is Buy2Play, a player really wishes to support the game by deciding to subscribe.
However, I would also like if those rewards would be recolors now - modern subscribers could get fiery Wraith, Steel/Ebony Dwarven Sphere and White/Black tiger. For the white/black Tiger with more fur on the body, I would be interested in subscribing again
But only with more fur!
