Since we're giving out Exclusive cosmetics...
BHVR, has released the 5th anniversary crowns to be obtainable during the 7th anniversary event via a code. With the knowledge that they threw away the important thing about the crowns(i.e them being Exclusive), how about Prestige 100 gives you the Bloody portrait and legacy cosmetics(non licensed characters). It's not fair that our crowns that were Exclusive to the 5th anniversary, are easily obtained for the 7th.

I'd rather they didn't give out the 5th anniversary crowns but since they did, how about we get an actual reward for P100.

I think it's quite the mistake to keep releasing exclusive cosmetics, so I'm glad they re-released the crowns. They never should've been exclusive in the first place & should just be a recurring thing every anniversary.
I think re-releasing legacy is a step too far for a couple reasons; but the main one being that the game was relatively small back then and an initial promise was made that they would be one time rewards. I also think IF they were to re-introduce these, they should do this in a manner that's feasible & appealing to all players and not just those who play any of those 9 characters that initially had them. They could do this by releasing legacy-like skins for ALL characters (licensed included), it's probably not feasible though so I doubt they ever will.
The bloody portraits should never have been limited time, it was a terrible decision to make those exclusive. What in my opinion they should've done there is give them to everyone who had p-3 prior to the update (who got the portrait + prestige 10) and make them obtainable to everyone else at like prestige 25.
The bloody portraits are horrible in design in several ways;
- Exclusive player-side only cosmetic (nobody else can see you have it)
- Not every character has one, so if you have it enabled, it just stops halfway through the list.
- Not obtainable beyond the initial release which was somewhat short notice.
I think bringing bloody portraits back and not releasing exclusives like the crowns again going forward would be the way to go.
Also special mention to these other things that are still exclusive that shouldn't be and will probably not come back for another 10 years (or ever);
- 'Rare' rift cosmetics like Ice/Blue Trapper/Hillbilly
- Twitch Prime charms/skins
- Rift Charms
- Rift Banners
- Rift Badges
(pls bring those back in some way)

The crowns were supposed to be a one time thing as well, but BHVR went back on that and made it so putting in a code gives you all of them for free. That's why they should scrap the idea of the legacy Cosmetics being one time only Cosmetics and instead make them a P100 reward for those who put in the work to get them. As for anyone that has legacy Cosmetics currently(the 50 people who do), they get to keep them, similar to how players kept their bloody skins when the blood web changes happened.

You say they were supposed to be, but unlike with legacy skins it was never explicitly stated that they were going to be a one time thing. They are very much different, one was an expectancy and the other was a promise.
Whilst I understand to you that doesn't mean much, and I also am aware there's very few legacy players left, it still isn't a compromise that should generally be made - it reflects poorly and overall tends to break player trust.

The crowns were stated to explicitly be a exclusive cosmetic until BHVR did that during the 7th anniversary, hence why players were mad. It's not fair that we lost what made the crowns so special when legacy skins still exist as a one time only item. Both we're promises, yet one promise was broken. Plus P100 is a lot of effort.

Cosmetics are only exclusive until BHVR decides otherwise, it's not the first time they've made event cosmetics available for everyone.
That said, i'd rather they spent their time and resources on something else than on P100 rewards. Not only would cosmetics be the only thing most people would find adequete enough to be considered reward worthy, but i highly doubt it would be possible to streamline to every characters unlike bloody cosmetics which are most likely a contractually agreed upon thing.

That's why I said to do it with original characters, not licensed ones.

I also personally am not a fan of grind cosmetics, they're the most annoying type of cosmetics to unlock in video games as they're nothing but a giant waste of time through farming or grinding, worst is when it's something cool.
I'd rather have cosmetics be locked behind master challenges in the archive, would be way less obnoxious and time consuming to unlock.

Fair. They could lock them behind 100% certain Tomes.
