People seem to forget that a lot of modders make items for their characters alone, so that they are unique in almost every aspect. Their face, hair, clothing, weapons, etc... all designed and created to allow them to be completely different from anyone elses characters. Creating something and then handing it out to the masses means that creation loses some of what made it special. It can be something amazingly popular and extremely well made, but it'll never have that 'uniqueness' it once had. The fact that a lot of modders share what they create is a secondary benefit that people gain from. Yes, there are modders out there who create things purely for other people to download and enjoy but there's a great many who don't. They make it because THEY want it personally, not because they think you or anyone else - might. If something isn't available to the community, there's no point complaining about it. If the modder ever decides to share their previously withheld creations at some point in the future, that is their choice. As is keeping it to themselves. Modders have no mandate stating they must share their works, they do so because they want to, not because they are obligated to. So instead of people having a round of complaints about the stuff you don't get to play with, be thankful for what you do get. Just my thoughts on the matter. I might sound like a child on this matter but after literally 5+ hours of trying just to get the hat to work only to have it fail dramatically and to know lots of people (They were giving it out before and stopped, same for the one other exact-same model mod) are sitting with it just kinda irks me. I understand wanting to have it be unique and special but that doesn't mean I have to like it. It's annoying. On the off hand, nothing is unique about Red Mage artifact armor, it's ripped directly from FFXI. Just my unhappy thoughts. >_>
