Satisfied?Oh it hardly matters anymore honestly; now it's making it fair for everyone, not just the ones that heard of the game before launch and/or new "lucky" trial people now. What about those who have been loyal to the game since launch, but weren't able to participate in Beta? Now it's fair, and everyone can quit complaining about not having it.And yeah, I have HJB and Mobius already.

QFT.
No arguments, no semantics. Just wrong.
I never said punish them. Give them something else, I liked my little advantage, and they could have had their own instead of whine whine whine, they could have suggested something. It's not even the items, it's the principle. That if you rally enough people and *CENSORED* about something constantly, you'll get it in this game. Instead of using valuable production time to maybe think up some new items, they just rehash old crap. This same tactic was employed with various other things in the game. Interactive emotes with hostile players, /face, etc.And who said I was angry. Yeesh, you people assume too much. It IS a game after all.

As for rallying around to get something in game, look at Mave and his boxersm probably the same thing about my sparkly top... Rehashing old stuff saves time for the Dev's to think up new stuff for all of us.Like I said, It would have been cool if the first were the gold shades, oh well poop happens...

After some thought, I have to say that I'm happy that other players can now get Mobius Code and HJB.
Why, you ask? OMGWTFBBQ?!
Well I know that many of us hold these two skills as treasures acquired from times long ago. They've evolved into a vet reward but truthfully they aren't and never really were. Yes, they gave us an advantage in combat but that's really about it. And while I'm being honest I think that's the very reason many were so opposed to giving it out to everyone.
But times change. True, some of us have been here for a really long time and we feel we deserve a reward for that. To give these two items to everyone diminishes that. However, despite the fact that anyone can now get these items, we veterans must remember one thing that can never, ever change:
We've always had them. We had them before anyone else. We were given Mobius Code during a time when we had to face the Assassin head on in an epic server-crashing event that has become legendary as the last "real" live event in MxO history.
The playing field may be more even now but it can never change the experiences we had getting them our way and that's something more special to me than farming 40 sticks of gum.
So what now? Will a "true" veteran reward ever surface? Are we destined to only ever have unbuffed beta gear as a sign of lengthy service to the Matrix Online? Who knows but I can tell you that the memories of jacking in for nearly 4 years now outweigh anything else.

All of these pieces of history are in my Code archive. I can't use them in combat but they never loose stability or importance. So let the rest of the community partake in the fun we've had having these 2 skills. They certainly deserve something for their servitude as well.
Now if you don't mind, I need to go get some gum.

The female Agent suit was there already according to Rarebit, still Females only get that one suit top and sucks to them if they don't want to look like an Agent. I'd love more suits For women but unless Rarebit wants to retexture and recolour the Agent suit, we're not gettin any more.

He said the female suit as is was an impossibility so *shrug*

1) If it does, based on this evidence it will be passed round to everyone else at some point.
2) Yes, give the veterans who weren't in Beta something for their efforts, but not those things which were given to Beta players. This isn't a moan about recycled content - tha's another thing entirely. What this is, s a voice of concern over a Beta item being given to everyone else, and for no good reason (that I can perceive).
