Bring back Event Armor Sets

Back in the day, we used to get Event gear with non-expiring stats that was very useful for new characters, especially on reboot.

Today, we sort of see this with the Frozen set, given to every burning character, however it's basically a gimped version of stuff like the Override set.
I think people think of burning mostly for the free level ups, but this free good gear really helps a lot in gearing up new characters.

This matters especially on reboot where you can't just buy all your gear. You don't realize how much time it takes for a solo player to get some starting armor that isn't god awful until you train someone up without burning these days, and I believe lack of easily obtainable good armor is a major factor in why many players just opt to only make new characters during burning events.

I bet if stuff like yearly anniversary item sets came back, then people would be a lot more willing to get into the game as they'd be able to try many different classes in the span of a single event and build up their legion in the process instead of just the usual 2 burnings per event (2 tera and 3 normal for non-reboot).

I started reboot during the override event and I've got like 15 or so characters geared up with the override set and leveled to 150 and I'm really not the type to just train up a ton of characters in a short period of time normally (still sitting at like 6500 legion to this day), so it's clear as day to me that it helped a lot in getting started on a new server.

The best part about that set in particular was you could also use it very early on (lv 30) and it scaled up as you got stronger up to lv 100, where the whole set is a good deal better than frozen set.
