Updating Veteran Rewards.

[Nejiro]

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!

Oh they did? Well that's that then.
Be nice to get more FF protag/antag glams though.

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.

Definitely this! In addition to the WYSIWYG items, I'd love to be able to buy Retainer Fantasias and loot boxes like the GC ones that include emotes and items purchased with currency such as Skybuilder scrips along with the pets and mounts. Character Fantasias would be pretty sweet since achievement points represent real-world time played = subscription time, so why not add them since they got money from us anyway. I wouldn't mind paying 500 tokens or some other reasonably large amount to keep income from Mogstation purchases flowing but take the edge off for people who rarely use them.

Even just gold feathers so you can buy a couple of the expensive dyes or something.

Yes, PLEASE!

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.

Why do things HAVE to be exclusive? We get those enough with event titles/items

I'm not sure why you're jumping at me for this. I'm not asking for exclusive things, just talking about what I think they should do instead of giving us nothing because they don't want to introduce additional exclusive things.

I'm saying they should give us non-exclusive things that also come from other sources, so it's a bonus without being unattainable any other way.

Cause I misread what you wrote. My bad on that.

Because it rewards players who would do things that normal players would not by rewarding them with unique items? /shrug

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.
