Updating Veteran Rewards.

[Enkidoh]

The reason the Veteran Reward system got gutted was because it reached a point where the requirements to get the highest rewards at the time (FFVIII's Squall Leonhart's outfit from Dissidia, a highly sought-after outfit) was virtually impossible for new players just joining to attain the required rank to get, that only those who had been playing from launch were able to get it (due to the huge length of subscription time required, which especially was impossible to get if paying for subscription by credit card/debit card). So, SE greatly cut down the Veteran Reward ranks to four, and moved most of the gear and items received to the new Achievement Points system.

Accordingly, as Alestorm mentioned SE are not going to add anything new to the Veteran Rewards, as it will either go to the Mogstation/Online Store or Achievement Points. It just makes it fairer for new players.

I get that for the exclusive rewards, but the complete lack of anything non-exclusive after that is still disappointing.

As I was saying earlier, some kind of tokens or item rewards would be nice. Even just gold feathers so you can buy a couple of the expensive dyes or something.

The Achievement points thing sounded like a great idea, but they haven't updated it in forever. They should be adding new stuff a couple times an expansion, at least.

The veteran system was to help encourage players to stay subscribed in a game that was trying to recover from the catastrophe of 1.0. Between that and the days required was getting too large for the later rewards, the system served its purpose and the need to keep updating it went away.

Personally would rather see them reward crysta (the currency for the MogShop).

Need not be too much; maybe like $1/month, or something like $10 per year without pause. Something simple.

I don't care about veteran rewards just for the sake of it. The rewards for being a veteran are that you have done more things in the game than a new player because you've played longer.

I have long since run out of anything to buy with achievement points.

Sure would be nice if I could get stuff like.... pure white dye or whatnot with them, similar to how you can with the extra gold feathers from recruit a friend.

They stated a good while ago Vet rewards would go to the achievement vender and no new items would go to the veteran system. I would rather see more items go to the achievement vender, just give us some mounts/glams to spend these tokens on!

Wasn't the last time that list was updated back in early Stormblood, if not further back than that?

They definitely need to update that stuff, tons of people are sitting on so much of that currency that has no use right now. They could put some of the dyes in there, maybe not mogstation ones but ones from other sources like Firmament - for example.

You know you can just buy colored contact lenses from stores right? You don't have to see an optician.

Which is silly because people have all the stuff long ago now. City of Heroes kept theirs going the entire life of the game and you were rewarded for being a loyal subscriber....which was the whole point.
