it's the server first. you (and I as well) can have your (our) opinion about how it was attained, but the fact is that it is the server first.

If the gms handed out a fiery avenger as a gm event award before sky was released, and after I sacrificed months of my social life staying home every weekend to be there for sky's opening... yeah, I'd be fucking pissed. I would probably have rage quit after a spectacular display of hatred to the gm staff. However, the point being that the recipient of that FA would be regarded as server first FA; I would have just been the first guy to do the quest.

GM events are legitimate occurrences in our dimension of norrath. While we may disagree with the item given out, it is the server's first; there's nothing illegitimate about it.
