Don't talk about making armor unless you've done it post-CU.. Armor takes a ton of resources now and 3 or 4 different factory runs before final output. Armor is well worth the price people are paying, it's a pain in the ass to collect the resources and then filter them all into the different factory runs required. Try it for yourself and you'll see..
Well thank you I have made armor. They dont take much resources, you have to consider people can havest much much more resources than before with scout/ranger. I use my friends armorsmith alt to make armor the guild and yes from layers and core to apperance. It takes time but if you are dedicated then you can make a crap load of money for very very little effort. It just takes time. Its like an investment, you invest a little time effort and money now and you can get great rewards later.
I disagree with you when you say it takes very very little effort. Unless your friend has unlimited stacks of every resource he needs I can understand. I've been waiting for 2 months for a single resource to spawn, much less with good stats. Making armor does takelittle effort. Making highest quality armor takes a lot of time and energy.
SometimesI have to ask myself that very question.

That'll pacify them while we try to fix bugs that have been outstanding for weeks or months, introduce new bugs (including regression bugs) fixed months ago, and screw several professions all at once!"
It's easy to read their marketing strategy. Most of their customers don't last beyond 12-15 months. That's why the gifts are so plentiful and useful right up to the 12-month mark. Starting at the 15-month mark, they're geegaws.
The 2 year veteran reward says just one thing to me...
"What? You're still here?"

Lets see how you feel when YOU reach the 2 year mark, IF you make it that long.
Mox ShehalisYou completly misunderstood,
Idont think the players of this game asked for vetran rewards but it was a verry nice and fun idea and something to look forward to when your playing.When a dev makes false promises and get's your hopes up for no nothing don't you think people are allowed to complain.This is a real life compagnie and offcourse it's for a game but nonetheless its a compagnie.so when like a dishwasher compagnie says hej you get a free television with this dishwasher you buy it only to find out you only geta box of left over chineese food.Then i think you may complain and that companie done a false job.The dev shouldn't start a tread taking up customers time to take their input on something to just NOT listen to them that's jus poo
they could give us 1 credit and we would still play ... you guys are addicted to this game just like me for some strange reason.
P.S.
Dont tell the devs this lol
SOE thx this vet reward is realy cool muhahaha

If I want to make armor on his charecter I have to provide the resources, I spent time gathering them, little effort just using vendor search. Crafting is fun for me, I don't think of it as a chore or as something I have to do but something I do for fun to get out of combat for a little.
No, I think I understand why they did this. Most likely they weren't ready for accounts to turn 2 years old or they have seen how stuff gets sold in the game. Could you image how much AT-PTs would get sold for?
Also I don't see why people are complaining. Year 1 they cave out crapy C-3po models, who really likes him.

I agree I believe they should make all vet rewards non tradeable. They are YOUR rewards after all. They might implement the AT-PT or bunker house in later in the game as maybe a future vet reward but they were just ideas.
"Additional reward ideas for 24 months and beyond can be found here - - post your own ideas too! "
At the very least it should have been "rewardS" not "rewarD". I would have rather seen some unique clothing instead of more holos.
