One more person getting a guise doesn't make your guise less cool.

Historically the server has rarely given out guises going back for almost a decade.

A few given out a year isn't gonna change its rarity all that much with how many people come and go from playing. Not to mention Guise + Manastone are the 2 items that most players dream about winning as legacy items as they have been given for the last 10 years because there has been a history of them being given out at such events. (Not just here, but on live also.)

There were also a long list of other items (All illusions) that were given out at gm events not just candy corn, that were taken away from players because a certain staff member at one point ruled it so, and removed those items and gave all those players guises instead. Even though the items he took away were historically accurate (Unlike the candy corn) to being given out at the events those players won them.

A separate example is I won a gnome potion from a GM event for finishing 3rd(1st and 2nd were a guise.) It had 99 charges on it, and It was changed out to 5 charge because players were so upset... about a expendable item?!?

No matter what, people will have differences in seeing eye to eye on what should be given out, and for what degree of effort.

Also if there is ever a server merge with green, Legacy items were much more farmed on green then they were on blue due to popularity of project1999 during both blue and greens relative eras. Something to consider when looking at the bigger picture.

I would even consider warder loot being an option to be earned by players under the right event, rarity, and method of distribution. (Warder loot is a different can of worms completely imo) I may be one of the only people with it, still playing on blue, who would even be willing to have this conversation for it.

I'm still here, if the event was rare and hard maybe. Not for just some random repop shit.

Not sure why the legacy item prizes matter. If they merge the servers it'll be manastones and guises everywhere anyway and adding a few here and there to a 14 year old emu seems meaningless, the number of ppl who know enough to care can probably be counted on two hands and if they care at this point.. big yikes
