I kinda wanna open a discussion regarding event/group 'exclusive' items that have sometimes appeared.

I believe that exclusive items are fine and cool to see! However, I would say that these items should have, at the very least, obtainable or purchasable variants in the shop or through some other means.

Similar to how the portals were handled within the beta version of VRChat when they were first being released or perhaps similar to how the light sticks were handled from HoloLive's drop.

I bring this up because I am currently seeing the 'Floortal' for Furality 2026 and it's, at minimum, 270$ for the event tier required to get that cosmetic. While I am okay with those levels of payment for the event itself and whatever they entail, I personally feel that an in-game portal cosmetic or any "exclusive" in-game assets should at least have a version itself available as a purchasable variant that everyone can get with the event exclusive Furality variant version being tied to the event.

This would still keep some exclusivity for groups/events/content creators while still allowing everyone to have access, even if for a time, to a version of the cosmetic!
