It seems I’m the one with a hot take here I guess. Still, I think it’s obvious that there’s a huge difference between some mined stone going to all your characters and a piece of potentially missable craftable gear doing so. Let’s compare it to something a little more like what it is: Twitch Drops. They are both effectively missable content, craftable, but in this case at least the Bestial Regalia is a BIS for certain mixed builds.

Fast forward: Just because I decide to try a different server in a year means I’m not entitled to an unlockable recipe even though I took part in a limited time event a year ago? Again, while not 1 to 1 comparable, Twitch Drops act the same way in terms of a timed event effectively being attended.

If anything, I hope you’re onto something here since I assume there will be no other change.
