Wow, you guys take this game way too seriously. The bottom line is this, if the company see's fit to allow people to keep what they got during the time their game was mis programmed, so be it. Get a grip... jealous much? Sure I wish I would have been on so I could have gotten one, but I wasn't .... so what.
I did not realize that either....that is of course what I am working towards. The lower items are BOE, so that is ok... but if the higher level items are bound when yo make them.... that will suck.
