I like the realistic underground bunker house idea. Should hold as much as a large house, have no maintainence, and take up no lots.
great idea

Agreed. I think it would also be great if the bunker could have some facilities in it... but not all.
Another idea is an untradable / uncraftable / undestroyabledroid with 100 item inventory. Personally I think this would be great to have in the field and out hunting. I dont know about you, but my bags fill quickly.
The could call it the Legendary Vet -Bot
I have a feeling whatever the reward is, if there is one, will be in the next publish.

A fix for ALL current bugs?
I think a working game is a perfect 2 YEAR VET reward
Or... how 'bout a Free Year?
I would be happy withsomething like an Anti-decayVehicle kit...
lost my av-21 to npcs.... =(
Maybe we could be granted the ability to ban the player of our choice,

The problem with people today is they want something for nothing. And yes, playing the game for as long as we did IS NOTHING. Its not work even if it feels like it. Its not punishment even though it often feels like it. Its a game which, quite frankly, owes us nothing. If we get veteran rewards its because of SOE's generosity, not because we deserve them. I deserve my paycheck, and the freedoms guaranteed me by the Constitution, but I don't deserve some reward for playing a game for two years.
Recognition is nice, and I hope to hell its all veterans ever get from now on, simply because people expect too much for too little. Two years is not enough to justify anything unbalancing, no matter how slight an imbalance it might be. Heck, 20 years is too little for unbalanced reward.
If it feels like punishment, if it feels like work.....
If it quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck.....
Its called product loyalty. We've shelled out 500 bucks over the period of two years. We DESERVE something in return. Don't get all high and mighty on us. Your wrong.
You know what I expected for playing this game? not having to deal with two years of bugs, nerfs and the jedi and CU fubars.
Am I expecting something for nothing? Hell no. I WAS expecting a game that didn't drive me crazy, I WAS expecting to "live the saga" did I get either? debatable. Did I fork out the money anyways? yep. Do I deserve something of substantial value for PRODUCT LOYALTY? yes.
/rant ....*%&#@ garbage about expecting something for nothing... get off your high horse.
/rant off
PS. recognition is worthless to me, what can recognition buy me? will recognition ever save my toon's life? will recognition do anything in game other than having a stupid title in front of my name, or fricking hot wheels paint jobs on my speeder?

And, for your money ( for me with two accounts nearly 800 bucks), you got to play a game. Congrats, you got your reward.
Oh, but you want more, because you think playing a game for 2 years gives you the right to be given something in addition to all the entertainment....if you didn't like playing the game, bugs and all, you wouldn't be getting a 2 year reward, so that just doesn't float.
You deserve NOTHING. If you don't like the changes you can show it by NOT paying for this game for 2 years.
Please don't kill anything that has to do with DE's.... storage droids are one of the few things that aren't bugged and still sell (though the +20 inventory increase decreased sales of those as well).
As far as reward, agreed that it can't be anything unbalancing. ADK's and 30k resource kits and self powered harvies were all unbalancing to the game, whether you believe it or not. Nothing in the game should last forever, you shouldn't get free resources, and you shouldn't get free power for harvesters. Even the furniture was not the best idea, because Architects didn't craft them. Better idea would have been to give you asingle useschematic, and have you take it to an Architect to get it built.
Really, you should never get anything in this game for free. Every quest reward should be crafted by someone, from a schematic. Just my opinion I guess, but every time a quest gives you something free its another smack to the crafters in the game, however small it may be. Yes, you have done the quest to get it, so its technically not "free" in that regard, but you still got it without the people that are dedicated to making items, and in a game that puts (supposedly) so much interest in a crafter driven economy its central that they make more or less everything in the game in some way. Secrets of the Syren Act II was perfect in that regard, you got your reward but you had to get it crafted by someone.
Back to the topic of veteran rewards, I think a new kind of vehicle/weapon/armor/droid/whatever would be just great, provided that crafters have some role in it. Personally, I would like to get a new species to play as. Adding more content, though (like the AT-PT thats been talked about) only for veterans is not a good act to go upon. Catering to portions of the community and not the community as a whole with actual content is more of of a show of favoritism than it is giving "incentive" to those players to continue playing that long and get the reward.
Electro you are just another selfish and greedy crafter who thinks everything in game should be made by crafters. I think people have learned to ignore the greedy opinions of crefters like you. There should be multiple and creative ways for items to end up in players hands.
Anyway I would like a special armored vehicle or a huge Jabba type palace as a vet reward.

You’re one of those who say... "don't like America, then leave it". Aren’t cha. Let me turn the tables on ya:
If you don't like my opinion, then just ignore me.
How bout instead of leaving the game, I stay active, and give feedback to what is going on in the game. Perhaps I could participate in conversations on subjects that evaluate the state of the game, on how it can change, or how it should stay the same.
We never asked for the rewards, but we got them. In my opinion the whole idea of the rewards system sucks, but we have it. If I am given the option to say what I think about it, I’m gunna.
You say the 2 year vets deserve nothing. I say they do. I already gave my reason why: to sum it up:
"Product loyalty", also; we have not gotten a product that has been worth the cost to date, and we are entitled to something more.
You say is that the reward is inherent in the game play. I say I enjoyed playing this game, but I don't feel that I have my money's worth out of it. I continue playing out of product loyalty and I have hope that it will someday be the game that I think it could be. From now until then I will continue to give my 2 cents worth, and squeeze every ounce of worth out of the $15 dollars a month I give to this game. Obviously you disagree. Your wrong, but you’re entitled to your opinion.
Can you honestly tell yourself that this game is worth $800 plus two accounts? Either you value the dollar much lower than I, or you haven’t really thought through your position enough.
Since we are getting rewards no matter what, we might as well gain rewards that are worth all of the troubles we have endured through out these two years.

What would rock would be a place for 2 year vets to land their space vehicles, maybe a hanger attached to a house that would allow u to port and the such from there and display ur ship.
Man I would love this. Make my life so much easier when at my crafting house and want to go out in space to test out my new parts.

I only have 1 character thats a crafter, and he's a Droid Engineer, not like I'd get to make anything anyway. And as for being greedy, thats a joke. I don't craft to make money, or I sure as heck wouldn't be a DE, I'd be an Armorsmith or something. I sell things to help people and because I enjoy the crafting process.
I just don't like the fact that in RotW crafters in general got screwed over. Want a new weapon? Weaponsmith, whats that?! I got my weapons on Kashyyyk, and they beat the crap out of anythinga Weaponsmith makes..... and of course, I sold the rest of my loot and bought an ADK, so I'll never need another new weapon again.
This game is probably the only MMO with a very player oriented crafting economy, the only one being even close as EQII. But if more and more stuff keeps getting added that has nothing to do with crafters, then it goes down the drain and becomes nothing but another combat-only game.
You really should consider not insulting people posting opinions.
