1200 days Veteran Reward

[Mraj]

Veteran rewards were for veterans in name only to begin with. You can "pay ahead" to get desired rewards as-is to an extent.

Though I have to say, if it's true that they're ending veteran rewards...I'm apprehensive about what will follow. When I hit 1440+, do I receive a discounted sub? (/sarcasm)

I dont want anymore veteran rewards. There is NO WAY that anyone can catch up if they keep on doing them. Maybe do one more reward, and then just stop them completely. If it got to like 4 expansions worth of veteran rewards, new players would never get caught up by the end of the games lifespan. It's so unfair.

It is fair. It rewards players who were there supporting the game from the beginning of ARR. You know, veterans.

Yeah, it's for the best if they don't add anymore Veteran Rewards after this point. They can find other ways to introduce rare and interesting glamour content, of course. The issue is that 1200 days is already over 3 years, and people have reservations about waiting so long to obtain some of the more popular pieces of armor. Keeping these items within reasonable timespans would be a good idea for everyone involved, and some people may already believe that 3 years is pushing it.

In the last PLL on August 22, the next veteran reward was revealed as 1440 days and outfits of Squall. They also mentioned this will be the last veteran reward.

Sorry, but what's PLL? Can you link please? I don't remember reading anything about next one being the last one... why would they have a last one...

Lots of us have 3 years of subscription time... it's definitely doable! We've had to wait 3 years to get here too :P

I like how Rift did it. It went by money spent, could be sub or just buying things from cash shop.

As someone with a payment discount and pay for 3 months each time, I'm against this

The whole point of them is that they reward long-term players, i.e. veterans, for their loyalty to the game. It's not unfair at all. Any new player can eventually obtain them as well if they subscribe just as long. No, a new player will never catch up, but then they haven't been playing as long so haven't earned those rewards yet. This isn't a particularly new concept. Lots of MMOs offer a similar veteran reward structure.

Rift is a F2P game now though. Please don't give the devs even more incentives to expand the cash shop. We're already paying a sub.

I was curious about this too, it says I'm Rank 14 (1,200 days) and the next Rank 15 is @ 1,320 days; that would make Rank 16 @ 1,440 days.



Right now they only have up to Rank 13 listed on the site.

Maybe even that motorcycle mount that was getting all the hype not to long ago haha

Now if they did this as the final veteran reward that would be cool

"Oh nice, that's cool outfit!" ~ "Sub for seven (7) years to obtain it."
..

It'd be practically unobtainable to large amount of players as plenty of people won't stick to same game for decade or two. Might turn away some people actually, so it's nice to keep veteran reward days to somewhat "low" amount of days.

Even now I'm paying subscription even tho I'm not playing since I'm too far behind with Veteran Rewards.
