I like them bringing back past promos. This is in-between content updates, and we're able to collect from a promo that only has a small handful of items laying around.

Some people may have really wanted these items, and now they can get them at an affordable cost. I wouldn't be upset if surge came back as well since it's got an interesting color scheme to it as well.

I don't see how bringing back old promotions with a new twist is hurting anyone's fashion. If anything, it's promoting the fashion. All it means is that merchants who were sitting on these items sat on them too long to sell them for a terribly high cost, which is the risk they take. Three Rings/Grey Havens has already proven in the past to bring back old promos that were desirable, so this isn't the first time they've done something like this.

If I want to be able to look like I rolled around in month old pea soup, then I should be able to. Hunter came and went, but now that it's back, other people that weren't around then will have a shot at something cosmetic that they weren't there the first round of. Even people that were there now get another shot to widen their collection. This is a good direction; there's enough soup for everyone now.

There's zero wrongdoing in re-releasing things alongside adding new bits and pieces to it. If people are worried that their shiny thing is now less shiny because it's slightly easier to get, they need to reevaluate their stance on things.

Don't be mad at the soup, it did nothing wrong.

Except it's more like if AAA once offered a free green paintjob for purchasing a membership, and so you went and bought one and had your bog-standard Corolla painted over. And then they put away the green paint for a while but did the same thing again in other colors, and in the meantime there were comparative decades--decades during which people gouged other people for all that they could get for these green Corollas and Camries and Accords and Five Hundreds, gouged them to high heaven at price points reaching past actual Rolls-Royces, just because AAA didn't feel like doing the green again.

And then AAA decided that was daft and dug up the green paint and started selling it outright.

Hunter items are not sports cars; they were never "luxury goods". There was none of the connotations or unspoken promises or--y'know--actual production value which are the selling points of something like a Rolls-Royce. Over time, they might have gained status as artefacts and curiosities--snapshots of the times, for collectors and enthusiasts. But as vehicles of conspicuous consumption? They're just green Corollas.

"Isn't that a large part of their business scheme, what with the super-duper-rare items and the low odds? It's a good philosophy to have I do truly think so, but it doesn't seem to be the one that prevails in our little mmo society."

You have a point, but I was saying that when referring to base recolor costumes, not the flashy models like Storm or whatever. The former is basically what Hunter is, so if people are upset over their specific recolor being non-elite anymore, they're being a bit petty.

I'm kind of glad that SK is breaking that elitism, because all it was founded on was recolors they never released again. Whereas before the transition, they didn't want to re-release as it would destroy the market value of the ones already in play. Liking this version better than the last.
