Should old rifts be able to be bought for double the price?
I played through all of tome 1 and almost got the vial charm in the rift, but I quit the game for some reason. Now I kinda regret doing this. While some may say 'that's what you get' I feel its a bit unnecessary. Now I get the time limit, but I dislike the fact I can't do the following:
- I can't reset tome challenges - small issue but if the old rifts were able to be bought again for double the price or more then I feel it should also be said you should reset the tomes. Mostly for blood points and maybe keeping the game a bit more interesting
- I can't get the old charms - the charms are a limited time thing I get that but at the same time this is mostly an issue in regards to my next complaint
- I don't even get the option, it's a bit sad that i can't even have the option to buy old rifts or reset the tomes. It's a small change I feel, but it'd make the game have more options and honestly to me that's what matters most.
But what do you all think? I just want the community to have more options and there's only gains to be made here to both sides. also with the recent addition with silent hill I feel new players will also be somewhat discouraged by the fact they missed old rifts.

I think the idea of somehow resetting an entire tome or level in a tome so you could get more bloodpoints would be a decent idea, but resetting individual challenges would be a real cheap way to quickly earn bloodpoints especially if people are resetting only the easy ones challenges.
I think the best way to do it is to be able to reset an entire level after you've reached it's end. Then you can start back from the beginning but in order to progress back to being able to do a specific challenge you have to go through it again normally.
As for the charms and rift rewards I don't think you should be able to get them afterwards. Those are for the people who took the time and dedication to grind through the levels, and besides the stuff that appeared in the rift should eventually show up in the store at some point in the future for you to snag. We won't know when that will be though.

I should be able to buy old rifts for double or more of the original price
While that's what I meant by resetting the challenges. I mostly have an issue with what you said about the people who got the charms worked for them as it's contradictory to BHVR's plan for the cosmetics in the rift as well as the fact that no one can 'work' to get the charms for the rift if they don't even get the option to buy it. BHVR is releasing the rift cosmetics in the store after 6 month's of their respective rifts. However I do not believe this works with the charms and even then, there is no option to buy the rift at all meaning you can't EARN those charms. You can limit the rift's time all you want, make only the tome it's related to reset and only make one rift able to be worked on at a time. Regardless, there should still be the option. It punishes new players or players who play a lot but didn't either have the ability to play or buy the rifts, or those who got close but couldn't finish it due boredom or other factors like work or family. I know this may narrow it down by a lot but it's just a design flaw with the fact the rift refuses to give options to those punished despite wanting to pay.

I disagree, it doesn't punish new players it's rewarding to old players and veterans who have stuck with the game for months and years. It's not a design flaw, it's intentional.
If you have a problem with how long the grind is (like I do, the fact that the archive challenges don't take you all the way to level 70 and you have to grind even after you've finished all 4 levels is ABSOLUTELY unnecessary and needs to go) that's a separate issue that I think there's a decent amount of pushback for, but old rifts that have been closed for months now? I don't think so.
Also, I wouldn't get all bent out of shape over charms of all things in the game, unlike cosmetics, charms are laughably insignificant tiny bits and bobs that hang from your belt or hook. Most people hardly notice them, and most people hardly care about them, the only reason we have them at all is because the dev team needed to create something to pad the rift and make it look more full and worthwhile than it really is. Charms are just gimmicks and some people don't bother wearing them at all in the first place.

What? old players and veterans? the rift lasts like 3 months, that's not a long time to be called a veteran or old player. I played the game since plague came out and I could still get the rift. But I wouldn't call myself a veteran. The only qualification is that you need to pay and that you play on time. Which is the issue. You seem to have an issue with the OPTION to buy the old rifts which only rewards everyone. People who got them before can brag I guess but also get it at a lower price. However there's an issue with the 'when' mentality as a person who plays almost not at all can be 'rewarded' even if they're new when the rift comes out (so again a point against that it's a reward for veterans) but don't play. They're given the option solely because they bought something at the right time but got no rewards. The rift itself is not a reward, so when you don't get the option to buy it later on it's unfair punishment. It should really for fair sake be the same price at all times but ramping up the price after it closes is fine as at least players get the option.
Trying to remove the option to buy the old rifts is an unfair mindset and it rewards people only on whether they bought it at the right time. People only gain from being able to have options and it'd mean more money for BHVR. The only reason a player would want to keep it closed off is to brag which is honestly just toxic. To combat toxicity, give options to players, and reward those who play often and consistently while being open to those who take breaks makes the game better for anyone? How could you be against that?

I honestly hardly know how to respond to such an entitled reply. If you didn't get it at the time, it means you don't deserve it. That's not toxic, that's painstakingly clearly obvious logic, end of story.
It's a system in place that eventually becomes rewarding for veterans in the long term. I'm not thinking about now obviously, but in the future when players have amassed charms and cosmetics because of their participation in previous rifts, yes, it will be gratifying and rewarding for veterans to flaunt what they've earned.
Jesus christ.
By dealing out the rift rewards to be earned at a later date (not in the shop) you are only catering to new players or inconsistent players who were either not present at the time or were not putting the effort and time into grinding.

I think they should be just left open indefinitely with completion/unlockables done at the player's own pace.
