[dev1002] CE/Veteran Title Request

[Kailea_Nagisa]

I, being a player from Alpha, would say no to special treatment, yeah I bought the CE on day one, yeah I tested Alpha and Beta, and yeah I played off and on since release because of so many issues. Do I want a special title or treatment? no -.-

[Meleena]

I've been here since Alpha version and I only lost the first month the game came out (september 2011).
The only thing I want from the development team is to never delete my character or take away my items or money.
If that never happens then I am ok with anything really.

[Nixius]

Just throwing my opinion in the mix, I personally don't like things that are completely unobtainable for others/myself.

I'm a bit of a collector and although I can't get on as often as I like, I'd like to think I always have a shot at getting everything. I don't mind it being much more difficult to obtain for whatever reason, but always like knowing there's a possibility - so this sort of goes against that.

I believe people already got items for buying CE, so having a title is the same as wearing the item.

I also think that the whole 'vet' idea is somewhat misguided, I mean, you could get a suggestion such as this every patch saying "I endured the last patch, I would like a title for it".

I know that takes it a bit out of context given that the mechanics have been so radically changed/fixed over the past year or so, but the idea still rings through I think!

Also, say someone buys the game at 2.0 launch and plays for 6 years, would they never be a 'veteran'?

I don't mind titles in favour of long play time, months played in a row etc, but this idea in particular I am against. \^^/

Thanks for your opinion.

The titles represent something that you still can never obtain regardless of if the titles exist or not.

It is a time and place where many of you never existed. When Eorzea was ripe with so many opposites compared to its current state.

Alot of us love that we survived that. That's not a crime.

That's the funny part about all the ppl posting here under the pretense that their lack of support in this matter even amounts to anything.

No one really cares.

This thread has been a good example of the type of mass hysteria that ensues when dormant jealousy inside the very inner human core of us all occasionally awakens.

I believe The Common Ground here, is that SE needs to give us an unlockable Achievement based on playtime.

FFXI somewhat had it via being able to see total time played with an in-game text command.

All players who have devoted time to this game should have more reward than just a item thats useful up to lvl 10 when the majority of us have been maxed for awhile.

I'll change my OP to suggest:

A system where all players can earn Achievements and Titled based on their total playtime.

It will be a multi-tiered system awarding various titled to those who meet each requirement just like most Achievements we have now.

This way, everyone will be able to achieve the same title. It will just take some longers than others. But both parties get recognition.

this could easily be cheated by people who never log out

CE release, never an inactive player. Keep the gold star and put the time torwards something better.

@OP, If you had to survive it you imply you were not enjoying it. What kind of person plays a game they don't enjoy? Jealous of what? Your need to feel special? Don't waist developer time requesting a monument to your ego.

Edit, the below is much more sensible

[Kailea_Nagisa]

sooooo you basically want rewards for doing nothing?.....other then being "older"

[Babydoll]

Yoshi stated before that we would get some kind of "reward" on our character that "You can tell from just looking at the character" that we participated in this special story line. I think that's kinda cool. (I been around since Alpha but remade my account buncha times..oh well.)

Although the playtime achievement sounds nice. Hrm..Aion have rewards like this..(or more) each month or so..they give out a reward, the longer you stay the more cool stuff you get (Like special wings, really cool items and stuff as a thank you for people who have stuck by all this time) I used to look forward to it. I doubt SE would implement something like that (From my experiences with FFXI...but you never know?)

Doing nothing? Don't speak on things for which you have no understanding.

I've "done something" everyday I've logged into FFXIV since Sep 21 2010. You call that doing nothing?

Your petty insults fail. Try better next time when you have a bit more wit and cunning to actually construct a proper insult :3

This community is so endearing lol
