As the title reads, I want dedicated players of the game who missed Founder's edition to get a chance of unlocking these otherwise lost items.I have been playing since the 1st week of Founder's, so I have all of them. I wouldn't be mad if others would get a chance of using them, too.They should, however, be tied to a difficult task. Here are some criteria I'd recommendOne could be unlocked by completing all plants free roam regionsOne could be unlocked by completing all zombie free roam regionsOne could be unlocked by unlocking all trophies / achievementsThe "Pea of Valiance" costume should be unlocked by reaching Grandmaster 5 with every character. It would take the most time and effort and would truly show how valiant you are

These items are completely exclusive and, unlike the Prize maps now, if you missed out on the items, you do not get another opportunity to earn these costumes. Players who did not even know about the Founders’ Edition or did not have a chance to buy it then have missed out and do hot have another chance to get these items. I think it is fair to give these players another way to obtain these cosmetics.I did know about BFN since late in the first week of the Founders’ Edition, only just though, but I did not get around to downloading the game until the second week, so I missed the first item.It seems only fair that players have another way to obtain these items.Another Interesting Suggestion to add: What if you only had the chance to obtain the Founders’ items during September each year (Founders’ anniversary)? If you complete these prerequisites, you have to wait until September to claim them (from Rux), it may be weird, but it’s “tradition”.Moral of this post: Excellent idea! 👍

Why was the week one gift a boring firefighter set for Snapdragon? That should've been reserved to Pea of Valiance instead of having to wait four weeks just to get it.

@benn1nat0r I don't agree. I haven't been playing since founders, but I still don't think players who didn't play during it shouldn't get it. Their supposed to be gifts given to players that helped with issues during basically the "Beta," phase of the game. It would be unfair if people who joined midway since the game's release would get the same thing as people who helped a lot during the beta basically.

I wouldn't mind this and I got Founders on the 1st day it was available. I was also on the side of people getting Unicorn Chomper in GW2 in some fashion as I had it from maxxing my rank in GW and wouldn't have minded if other people could get it.

@Shadowphinx101 , @stukapooka & @agqwpe663oe6 I understand that some would be mad if they were made available to others.By buying the game during Founder's Edition, we were early adopters who helped to improve the game and got rewarded for it.But keep in mind: The criteria I recommend for unlocking them are very tough to meet. You have to play the game for a long time, and it will only get harder once there aren't many players left. Therefore, I think the players who play the game for this long and support the game (in my option even more than by buying during Founder's) by keeping the player base alive for a longer amount of time should also receive them.

Allow dedicated players to get the Founder's Edition rewards (Suggestion)

@benn1nat0r I'm down with it as long as you COMPLETE the free-roam regions. I'm talking the main quests, all medals, gnomes, and cosmetics. I want these to be as difficult yet reasonable as possible, and as someone who has all of them since day two, I want them to give up their lives for it.
Other than that, this is a great idea!

@benn1nat0r I don't agree at all. One of the things advertised with Founders' were the 'exclusive' rewards. How would these be exclusive if anybody could get them? I got the Peashooter skin because I played in Founders', not my fault someone else can't get them.

@Shadowphinx101 Agreed and these are just cosmetics that aren't even that great imo.

@benn1nat0r I doubt Founder's skins would help in terms of content tbh. If anything, it's gonna make the situation worse because Founders' players will feel essentially ripped of because their exclusive items aren't exclusive anymore.
