Veteran rewards Rank 8

In this thread,

people are acting like a framed portrait of Hildibrand isn't sublimely wonderful.

I hope the two-year reward is a full-scale statue of Godbert for your company house...

...or private room.

The picture doesn't seem appropriate. Furnishings made sense to give out in XI because you got a free room to decorate. Unless they let us redecorate our inn rooms or give out personal housing for free it's kinda crappy to give people things they might not even be able to use.

That. I wouldn't put it so bluntly, but the point is valid - I'm not very sure what to think of the assumption that by that time we all will have a private room (note the amount of energy/time needed to get to where you can buy one) or a personal house to put it in. Some might not even be able to play more than 6-10 hours a week.

Not to mention that Hildibrand...well, let's just say he's pretty much a divisive character. People either love him or hate him, from what I've seen, there's no real middle ground. His portrait should be more appropriate to be earned (maybe crafted?) in his questline, I think; for veteran reward, if going with a portrait, I feel Louisoix would be a better choice. (Or something similar: maybe a replica of his staff, the one that hangs in the Waking Sands.)

We have no clue of the price on personal housing and you can make 300k pretty near just hammering through Main Story on the way to 50 if you want an FC room. Honestly I think the small personal homes will likely be not much more than a personal room. Perhaps getting the picture would be a motivator to work towards a place to hang it. Just because you have to work a little to use something doesn't equate to NOT being able to use it at all. That would be true if Personal Housing/FC Room were cash shop items. Would be shitty to hand something to everyone that requires content you have to buy from a cash shop since some people literally can't spend anymore on a game then they are.

Well on my server it is currently something that I cannot use, as all the ward areas are taken. So yeah.

A minion and a painting? Seems pretty cool to me, they didn't have to give us anything!

[Defteros]

omg I can finally have Hildy in my room, I love it!

If expecting something special after 1 year sub, it is maybe for the 2 years subs. All the rest are in-between rewards and I enjoy them as they are.
Then, just remember none of those rewards are something we got any special rights to get or deserve by law, they are gifts.
I will never blame who gives me a gift. It is insane doing so

I'm not impressed with the current veteran rewards. Some of them are nice but overall I feel they can give better and cooler rewards without breaking the in game content.

Most games don't give you gifts like this. You should be more concerned about longevity and content design rather than free hand outs xD.

If you are going to do things, do them right..

Play the game > Do the Content > Get better stuff.

...Quite simple.
