1. Preventing this item from reaching NA Mabinogi is not being selfish. It's being fair. Those who put forth effort should be justly rewarded. Selfishness would be disabling the ability for other players to obtain windmill on par with our own.
It is selfish to expect or demand others go through the same effort to obtain something that you did. Someone else getting something easier does nothing to diminish you, your effort, or anything. How easy or difficult someone else has getting it has -absolutely no impact on you at all- unless you enjoy having higher WM than other people, i.e. being an arrogant or elitist prick.
Games progress over time. What was hard gets easier for a variety of reasons. The amount of damage available to a player and how soon they can get to that damage has increased dramatically. Between running a farm to get gold and purchasing upgraded gladii from other players, to better enchants, heck even the introduction of dual wield, have all made training WM easier. Going outside the example of WM, tons of other things have gotten easier too.
Get over it. A person starting out today will not be, and should not be forced to take years to get to the playing field. You spent more effort to obtain WM in your time, when it was harder. You got to enjoy using that skill during that time also. A new player had neither opportunity. The only reason to oppose making training easier would be if it also made it less fun. Considering how many players say training WM is boring, I don't see much risk of that at all.
