Personally, I would like to see it like this:

Elder Title Reward = Anytime before November 14th

Elder Buff Reward = Min of 300 days played (I would not mind making these two rewards earnable like vet rewards) but would up the days required to 400 and 800.) I think this would allow the rewards to stay in and not get nerfed someday because of peoples griping about 'balance'

Allow up to combat level 90 = 600 days played

Jedi Rewards (You get to pick one for every master box you have or every 100 skillpoints you have in Jedi, something like that)

and on the rank thing I was talking about full temp jedi being able to take part in FRS. Hence there rank is higher then initiate and padawan. (So those above padawan or padawans that were elegible for FRS should be seen as higher rank fitting the definition).

---

yeah that would be a nice idea

---

This is yet another good idea that rewards current veterans, and will continue rewarding future veterans.

Much better in my opinion than simply giving out a free cookie to everyone that has a jedi "Just cause".

I noticed there is alot of rewards given for the various levels as you move up. If you are full template already and are respecing to a lvl 80 jedi do all of these rewards just get placed in your inventory or are we getting shafted on that?

Also, on Vet Rewards this should be based on number of days played like the other Vet rewards. A guy that buys an account on Nov 14th and on the 15th is an elder is BS. I think it should be a min of 600 days in game.

And what of the people who only purchased the game within the past year, played from scratch and ground out a Jedi character? Are they not worthy of elder status simply because they didn't start playing the same time you did?

---

Umm...No?

Sorry but, isn't the whole point of an elder reward because...oh I dunno...maybe your an elder? They can come up with rewards for being around before the NGE, just like the CU decoration, but Veteran rewards, and Elder rewards, should remain for the Elders and Veterans. Enough of this "Anti-Elite" garbage.

In my opinion if someone wants to walk around in an elder robe or use an elder item, they should have to earn the damn thing. Simply being around as a jedi before the NGE isn't exactly earning it.

And what, pray tell, in your infinite wisdom (sarcasm intended), constitutes "earning it"?

---

Did you even care to read the thread or does hate constantly fill your mind? Read the orginal quote, oh master of wisdom.

---

Hate? I'm not the one all up in arms that people who haven't played as long as I have are getting the same rewards as me. And yes, I know what you mean by earning it. I don't agree with it because it's an elitist pr1ck mentality and ruins games like this in the long run for people who just want to enjoy a few hours playing in the Star Wars universe, flawed as it is in its implementation.

---

By that logic ADK's and the deathstar hologram have also ruined the game because they encourage elitism. Clearly they state that the person that owns them is an uber l33t dude.

Seriously, come up with a better arguement then that. Veteran rewards have been around for over a year now and people have just started countering with that crap.

Where was your anti-eliteism when the orginal veteran rewards were suggested?

Additionally, new players arn't ever getting these rewards, so by your logic your arguement should state: "No one should get these, period." And yet it dosn't, I wonder why that is?

Because a trinket or bauble does not make one elite.

And since ADKs are, for the most part, useless other than as a decoration in the new system, new people won't be bothered in not having them.

And since when does a silly hologram encourage elitism? If anything it only created an overinflated market for these so-called "veteran rewards".

The argument is that the so-called elites are stating that since they have played the game the longest, devoted a large portion of their time to playing their characters, and spending God knows how much money on the game, that they should be the only ones to have access to specific game content. My position is that this argument is flawed and wholly without merit. To state that you can't have access to specific game content simply because you haven't played the game as long as someone else is a childish attitude and counter-productive to making the game fun for as many people as possible.

I think too many people of late are forgetting that this is just a game, nothing more.

So you'd rather opt to give the veterans nothing at all then? Didn't I just predict this in an earlier post?

I didn't say that. I've never once said that veterans should not get some special kind of reward for playing the game. My position has been that everyone should have a chance at said rewards. Now if your position is that people will have that chance over time, then this whole argument has been a moot point .
