I know the masks are cool, and are a part of a very long period in the storyline, but other than being able to say "Z0MG I r teh assassin" people make way too big of a deal out of it. (although I did see one guy on Recursion who created the perfect Joker outfit with the green hair, purple suit and the mask to complete the white faced look.)
Do I wish I could have one, sure who wouldn't even if it did just take up space, but those that got them in the event have the free will to do with them as they please, even if that means recycling it. I think part of the reason they havn't had any other super special items like the mask since is because all of the pointless bickering that came about because of it.
The only solution I see is to get the test server back up (even if they don't have all the fun activities they had on it for CR2.0 testing) so then every one can beg one of the remaining people to re-copy their character to distribute masks to everyone.
Yay for opinions
