Aetheryte Ticket - Useless

[Mychael]

Most people in this thread aren't asking for "more valuable" rewards in terms of gil value or bonuses, but just a "LOOK AT ME I'VE PAID FOR A YEAR" item.

I want all my free things to be the best thing in the world.

Crowns, mounts, and other vanity items are all the "best," right? Because they have no impact on the economy and provide no bonus to players besides feeling good about themselves?

When I subscribed to this service, I did so under the impression that I would get more than I subscribed for.

Contrary to popular belief, an in-game item is not in fact a part of the game you're subscribing to. It is equivalent to real-life money, therefore:

If anything, the 730 day reward better be the game going completely free to play. Thank you.

Try to read threads before you fail to troll them?

People shouldnt be able to go 'look at me i've paid for a year.' but instead 'look at me i've PLAYED for a year.'

Until they fix the way the veteran rewards work, noone should complain about the aetheryte ticket.

If you really care about showing your commitment to the game you don't need any of the rewards. Show it with your attitude toward the community, help people around, show off your gear and accomplishment, there are many of way to show your commitment.

I don't need any rewards, and I do show my commitment...I join as healer to random Titan HMs if the person is shouting nicely enough, I answer questions on how to obtain or unlock something, if someone is dieing I will heal them, if someone is dead I will raise them ; however, none of that has anything to do with this specific reward.

The people paying 6 months at a time are more than likely the ones who are actually going to play that length of time and continue to play. So in this case Payed = Played

You are ignoring people who sign up for six month runs and use only a month of it; I personally know 8 people who did just that. You should perhaps say, "So in my case Payed = Played."

Yeah, well, when I get my perk for still having the FFXIV (1.0) Beta installed on a computer, let me know. TL;DR, these rewards aren't for being a veteran, but for keeping a continuous subscription; that's definitely not going to change.
