Aetheryte Ticket - Useless

[RuleSigea]

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.

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.

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

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.

It doesn't matter to YOU, but some of us look forward to things like a Behemoth mount or Warrior of Light barding. They have set a standard and that is what we were expecting. We don't want anything amazing or game breaking, we just want what we have been getting all along. Some of us care about showing our commitment to the game, in game. With the complacency some people have in this thread...SE is better off not wasting time and resources on Veteran rewards, and should just give us all 1k gil and 1k GC seals every 90 days.

So you want better reward to show your commitment in game but you don't need any of the rewards?

I'm curious as to how the JP board is reacting to this as they seem to listen to them.

Are you just trolling, or did you not understand the differences between your two snippets?

I certainly don't need this caramel macchiato I made myself...but you better believe I looked forward to it.

Personally I would just like items that you got to keep rather than items that are consumed on use.

This is the only thing that bothers me with this reward, but I am thankful we get rewarded just the timing for the tickets is slightly off :3

I think this is how most of us feel. It is irritating people keep going back and forth on one extreme or another. Tangible things (mounts, minions, bardings, etc.) are much better received veteran's rewards. I wouldn't even care if it were x2 different pets, or what have you. The tickets are perishable and not something that can be shown as *my one year subscription*, and is a much better 2 month reward or something for beginners.

Maybe they have something good planned for the year anniversary and cant say anymore until it comes along, therefore making the tickets valuable again, could be good marketing

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."

SE is better off not wasting time and resources on Veteran rewards.

It's ironic that most of your post is defending the Vet Rewards to prove you are committed to the game.... and then you end with this sentence.

The game sucks as it is. I want it to get better, so I am still subscribed. I only play about 2 hours a month though, and I would hardly call it playing. They can have my money to make the game better because I WANT this game to succeed, and I'm committed to helping make that happen as much as I can bear. What I don't want is SE to waste time and resources making useless crap like this. I feel like SE is wearing the emperors new clothes and everyone is too blinded by fanboi disease to admit how mediocre the game is at this point.

Hooray, a new pet! Now I can have something else to follow me around during my 500th crystal tower run!

SE, please stop giving us parsley when are paying for a steak. Just bring the damned steak already.
