even though I made my account in season one and I missed out on a lot of skins, I still don't like seeing skins come back for newer players, and as far as the whole transferring thing players will do that, only to transfer back

But it does makes sense to give players in those countries the opportunity to buy skins that they never could have got even if they were following the game as far back as season one due to the game not really being available in their area.

From a business point of view, you can say it's not fair to Old users to release them, and it's not fair to the Turkish serve to NOT release them.

If there's money in it, and a moral dilemma, they will go with the money every time :P

I don't see why they should re-release them at all, even on a new server. Anyone who's been playing for a long time and has some old skins is going to get a server transfer. Anyone who doesn't have an old account to transfer wouldn't have those skins anyway.

For example, Jai is probably going to play on OCE due to the lower ping, but she has an old account on NA. If she had some awesome legacy skins, she could get a transfer and keep them. If a random person in australia who never played the game before makes a new account, they shouldn't get access to legacy skins.

However, as Duff said, if people are going to pay twice for a server transfer AND buy skins, I'm sure Riot will happily allow them.

But truly, limited skins are limited for a reason. I'd totally hate it when Bewitching Nidalee goes on sale again D:

IKR, I love being the only one I've ever seen using Bewitching Nidalee

I'm more angry about this than I should be, but like Mowen said those skins are for saying "I've been playing for this long", or "I was playing at X time", etc

I don't have Snow Bunny Nidalee because I wasn't playing at the time. Why should someone else be able to have Snow Bunny Nidalee when he wasn't at the time.

The rest of this post was going to be pretty much what PsiGuard just said, so I won't finish it.

It would be unfair for the turkish guys, because they never even had a chance to buy the skins. I would hate it if my dark candy fiddle would go on slae again, but if people buy 2 transfers, they seem to really want the skin ... lik REALLY and then i dont mind it. Buf if everybody would suddenly have the skins i would be kinda pissed D:

Even though I would love to get some specific limited edition skins myself,
I don't think it's fair to the people who actually got them when they got released.
I mean, come on, they're limited edition for a reason..

Limited edition skins, in my opinion, should never be re-released ever,
No matter the circumstance, since I can see why people would feel like getting ****ed over by riot,
When they see their skins are back on sale again anyways..

^^ Exactly after more thinking who cares if the other servers don't get them big deal lets keep them limited edition,

Or what if they made it to where the account transfer didn't let you buy the skins so players here couldn't get them

I just think they shouldn't be for resale period anywhere

If they didn't have the chance to get Snowbunny Nidalee then they didn't play during its release. I didn't play during its release either and I'd like to have it at the same price as they do. The people there that knew of LoL before the new servers created accounts on other servers. That's one of the reasons we have account transfers. So if I was a Turkish person and I created my account on EUW in 2011, before the new servers but after Bewitching Nidalee and got an account transfer in 2013 I can have Snow Bunny Nidalee available whereas if I was a Canadian that created his account at the same time I can't have the skin? Unless I want to live on the Turkish server or buy double transfers? And like the whole reason I bought skins like Bewitching Nidalee is because I thought they'd be completely unavailable after I bought them. If they're not completely unavailable why did I buy them? And I use the skins mentioned as examples.

Limited edition should never be sold anywhere else. Just make another limited edition maybe even something special with those countries/realms in mind.
