Nah, is easy choice. Wait till you get your hands on uber Krayt tissues / Acklay bones / whatever used for your favorite weapon / etc, and then find the best 12-pt FS weaponsmith on your server... Now decay-proof your new superweapon!
Isn't this reward for just one character per account? Thus making it impossible for cross server trades as you will not be able to get a reward on 2 servers.

Yes you could do that.

Let's say at 3 months I get myself a selfpowered harvestor. If I wanted anotherat 6 months couldn't I find a 3 month vet on another server that really wants an x-wing Miniature. I could use my 6 month reward on his server give him the x-wing, and he could make his 3 month selfpowered harvestor on my server and give it to me.

It's tied to accounts. There can't be cross server trades done.
The For the Field items can only be chosen once per account. What this means is if you choose a "self-powered harvester" you will not be able to select another self-powered harvester again even after you get another Veteran Reward choice.The For the Home and For Fun items can be chosen as many times as you want though. We will be updating the Veteran Rewards page to make this clear.
I took this to mean that FtF cannot be cross-server traded as you can only get them on one server.... however the FtH and FF items seem to be able to be cross-server traded... that's the way I read it...
No. Ok, let me try again.
The veteran rewards are all account based. So for example, you get ONE and only ONE choice at 3 months for your entire account.
The note about For the Field items means if you use your 3 month choice to get a harvester when you 6 month milestone hits, you can't pick another harvester.
Make sense?

The items are available per account which decreases the amount of cross server trades. It doesn't eliminate them. The active account is still gaining time and if they wish to forfit the next milestone for something else, they can do that. Itwon't work for all items as stated before. Some items are one time deal for that account.

Dude I have to much stuff.
A perfect example of why I feel it will be nearly impossible for people to even find someone willing to sell them a second one, nevermind enough for a full suit of armor. I dont think anyone would want to sell theirs I'm sure they would rather keep it to use, or save it untill they have somethign to use it on IE: mando helmet etc.
The hardest part for most will be deciding what to use it on. Best reward ever
bravo devs!

Okay I obviously can only talk from my own business point of view as thats the only field I know about, but... tkae the following example:
A speedcapped swordman allmost only uses Powerhammers as it is now a PH will be used up in about 14 days or less of medium playtime then the player will return to me to get a new weapon aside from this most peope dont just use their acklay PHs for grinding and ordinary pve as it is they have a few back ups. If they could however ensure that their 900+ dam PH never would get decay they wouldnt need another weapon in all their gaming time as they migth as well use the PH for grind and not only for special situations. I know some professions have multible weapons, but most have one that is the most used.
I dont know how much this would impact me and other crafters I just asks for clearifications on how its going to work cause right now the devs are only answering the same questions over and over again and leaving me to worry about this issue.
It might not be a problem at all, but I worry it will be. Try asking a DE (if you can find one) how many returnig costumers he has besides BHs in need of seeker droids. Indestructable items is something that the Devs should really consider long and hard before adding to the game, thats just my 2 cents.
This is not to say I dont appriciate them giving us new stuff, but Id like more info on this anti decay thing before I can stop worrying about the future of my gameplay.
Director of Community Relations. So how it will affect weaponsmiths is another "wait and see" question.

1) Will the 6 month reward, "Crate of any existing resource (30k)", include all resources that have ever spawned or just current ones?
2) Will the 12 month reward, "Anti decay kit for 1 item", work for Crystals/Pearls?
Thanks
1. It's any resource spawning at the time.
2. The anti-decay kit only works on weapons and items that can be insured.
for those saying it does not work on weapons. This makes me think that it stops all "battel decay" which i think is a common question so far.
dev responce please

As for your weaponsmith business you have nothing to worry about because weapons are not insureable items in the game. The anti-decay device works only on those items. If you sell armor (which is not indicated by your signature) then it will effect your business. By how much is the question. I can't comment on that until we get more clarification from the DEVS on how the anti-decay device will work. I keep posting about this because I'd like a Dev response please.

And Vash72 simul-posted with the same information.
Although I'm not sure why you're asking "dev response please", Calandryll is a dev (or designer, or lead, or something).
like u said it could be a mis-post.
if weapons are included then it makes the answer pretty simple that it would have to stop all forms of decay or there would be no point. but using this item for a weapon is probably the best use most of us can think of so to be crystal clear on it would be nice.

The request for a Dev response is not so muchfor which items, it's how will the anti-decay device work. Does it apply to any and all decay or just after death cloning decay? Although it may not be common there are ways to get full anti-decayarmor suits through lure of credits, a few alts, and a PA effort. You'll just have to browse the Trade Forums to see the requests. I know I will be able to get 2 of these from the 2 accounts that I own. I have a wookiee so that's a big part of our armor. If I can swing 1 or 2 more pieces I'll never buy armor again! I just want to say that I would rather see these rewards be no trade and available for all characters on your account.
I understand the reasoning behind the decision to go this way, but I just want to voice my opinion that it should be reversed and implimented like the luxury yacht.
Having different characters on different servers is a fun way to experience many different things the game has to offer without having to break the immersion of your character's personality.
And they each deserve to be rewarded!!
