Debate--bring back limited time items

I pretty much agree with the above. It would be one thing if there were a common market where re-releasing could possibly devalue your limited time items. It has always baffled me that in a game with independent economies one person would actually be upset that another person was able to procure something in the game.
That said I don't think there is really a principled argument on the other side either. It's not "unfair" for a developer to decide that content is limited edition. It's their decision as a creator, and if that decision is wildly unpopular people will ultimately let them know by abandoning the product. I really think it ultimately amounts to their preference.
One thing I will say, it would be nice if they made their intentions known on the matter, and as a new player I hope that they decide to release it, but that is just what I want, not some normative claim of entitlement.
