I remember. It was epic, and I don't recall anybody telling us that we weren't "good enough to get our hands on it".
I know it hurt you to see people with items that you wanted, but the fact is that no one in this world owes you anything.

That's not gatekeeping, that's putting in the time, money, and the work. No one has a say in how the rewards are managed.
Love & Loyalty...I can't speak on it. I wasn't there.
