Once In a Lifetime Finisher or Not?

If I don’t win first place in the first season will I ever get the chance to get the first place finisher reward in another season?

I know many people already expressed their concerns but I’m on a server that has no chance and risking rank 1-3 on another server is better than never having a chance at something I may never achieve. I’ve put up with the fact my server has fairweathers but I never cared until now and depending on how the reward is implemented it will ruin guilds and servers in my opinion that are on the rocks like mine.

If the permanent account rewards are achievable as season two rewards or once season two starts have another method to acquire them (which gives temp bragging rights at least and new rewards for season 2) which ANET can guarantee than I believe many communities may be saved imo.

Winners will have access to the finisher until there are new winners. At that point those people will gain access and the winners from the previous season will no longer have access to the stomp.

Think of it like this, the finisher is intended to show off who won the last season. If you don’t continue to win each and every season, you will not retain the bragging rights.

Well that was a fast reply, starting to think I missed some reading about this answer somewhere.

Does this insinuate that the finishers will always be the same every season and it’s only the other achievements that may change from time to time which in theory should be doable in any server?

It certainly insinuates it. But that is as much as I’ll say for now. Nothing is set in stone.

More temp` content.
Who is surprised?

Huh? This is not temp content. This in character with any number of rewards that are about showing off what happened recently. You will be showing off that you won the previous season, but once a new season starts everyone is back to start. Having the reward for a limited period of time is very different from temp content.
