I'm not a new player, but I have been unable to get my hands on these parts for years at this point because every time the events have rolled around, I have been unable to play the game, now one actually happened at a time when I would have been able to play, and they decided to not put the items in the shop. I spent time grinding tokens for this in advance because I was excited to finally, after literal years of trying, I was going to have a shot at getting my hands on these weapons, only for it to be blocked again.
I really wish that event items would be made permanently available, or events would roll on a constant cycle already so I wouldn't have to spend over three years missing these pieces of kit. I am glad to know the event is coming back again soon, but that doesn't make this any less of a colossal disappointment.
