Playtime rewards

Some kind of loyalty reward would be nice, I remember they use to have some but moved em all to the achievement vendor in old gridania.

Maybe one based off how many times u subbed or some other time based thing.

It'd be nice to see someone with a reward like that and be all like, that guy right there is an ancient, he's been around and seen some stuff, or you get the reward and be all like YEAH YEAH.

There's a difference between allowing and incentivizing. You can stand around showing off your glamour. You can stand around doing diddly squat. That doesn't mean that there should be a system that actively encourages everyone to AFK. As stated, that would put a huge strain on the servers if nobody ever logged off to get gil. You have some players who will just AFK in game for whatever reason even when they aren't around, but plenty (I'd even argue most) don't. They just log out when they aren't playing.

But OP's idea would pretty much encourage everyone to just leave the game open 24/7 if it's not a resource issue. And yeah, that would be hard on the servers.

I don't think gil is the most enticing or appropriate reward.
I think this idea would be more effective if they kept giving players glamour items as veteran rewards.
