I get both sides, but I also think you're missing an extremely obvious point:
A lot of you didn't even like these godlikes when they were brand new.
For instance, Tobias had a Last Prayer, he thought it was dumb and trash or what ever, and got rid of it. Hell, a large chunk of you hated the last prayer when it was new. Calling it 'bland' and 'awful', etc.
These items are 'special' and 'sought after' mainly because they are this rare. Otherwise if the crates still were on the shop, they would turn into pretty much any other godlike, which have kinda turned into 'no one really cares too much anymore'. You can argue against that, but those facts really do speak for themselves. People want what they can't have.
Just think to yourself, if these godlikes were as common as the others, would people care as much? Probably not. It's not like they are best-in-slot godlikes or anything.
Now I don't agree with them NEVER being obtainable again, but I do agree with keeping them sought after, and using that drive as a new type of sink/goal for people.
I do have plans to re-introduce some of these, but in a way that keeps them rare, but makes it actually 'possible' to obtain them.
Those of you that think these being re-added will break the economy are probably over thinking it, simply because these items aren't traded currently at all, so worst case it drops the prices of a few existing godlikes, and drops the prices of the 'expired' ones. Eventually re-balancing out.
Pretty sure he means it gives players that were here during those times a sense of pride/achievement to obtain it. It also grants additional incentives to play during limited time events, in hopes of achieving one of the 'limited time' godlikes.

Quote:How are they suppose to pick up these guns off the ground when people that have them either don't play or don't use them?
Having a godlike isn't a "benefit" for playing years on this server. You don't get a guaranteed godlike for playing so time is literally an invalid argument. Even the people that were here for an event don't have the godlike. Just because someone didn't get lucky for a single event doens't mean they should be shut out of ever getting it again.
I mean you weren't here for enhanced crate 2, by your logic doesn't that mean you shouldn't have the esoteric?
