Veteran rank 14

Whatever happened to veteran rank 14?, it was overdue and now it seems to have been put back another 90 days, why?

I heard they weren't doing veteran rewards anymore :(

They said rank 14 would be the last, but never mentioned what is it or when we will get it.

Well, where is squall outfit they showed ? No a reward ? Maybe event ? a glam to craft ? A glam to buy ? So mysterious...

That's a bit much, I think. If the only reason you're subscribed is to get something that a new player won't be able to get for four years, I don't know what to tell you. At this point veteran rewards are less an incentive to stay subscribed than an exclusionary club for people to lord over new players.

I have no idea how they might change the system, but perhaps a system where every X days you get to pick an item from a master list of rewards. That way they can keep making more, new players have a hope of getting them, and everyone has a reason to stay subscribed. Win-win-win!

The JP playerbase has a deep hatred for the veteran rewards.

A few months ago, there was a thread asking for any bilingual players to check out what was being discussed in other sections of the forums, particularly the JP side since the actual Devs can jump into conversations there whenever.

The two busiest and most liked threads at the time in the JP general were complaining about GC restrictions for PVP (lol) and how unfair the Veteran system is to players that don't stay consistently subscribed or are newer.

/shrug

If it is true that they said "We will no longer be doing this because new players won't be able to ever get these items." or some variation. Then I say "Ha! What hypocritical trite!"
If you will indulge me a moment. PVP Seasonal Rewards, White Raven Earrings. Dalamud Earrings. Minions from Sound tracks/ Real life merchandise. New players will never get these. Hell I'm not a new player and I won't get them >.> /rant.

I sorta understand it, would be cool if they gave us phantasias or something after rank 14 as a little bonus instead.
