Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

Firstly, time isn't a good indicator of activity, as anyone could make an account, gather some GTS and neglect to use it again for years, never posting in the forum. Do such people really deserve level stats and a forum title more than an active player and forum-goer?

Secondly, nothing should be an absolute requirement; especially time. Rather, as devonin suggested in another thread, activity should be measured holistically with multiple, proportionate qualifiers.

I feel like the best way to do it is holistically.

Veteran = 7 years

Minus 1 year per 1000 posts, Minus 1 year per Billion GTS

Going by his suggestion you need 7 years, and
1 year = 1 billion GTS = 1000 posts

Though I think this is a little better:
1 year = 2 billion GTS = 500 posts

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

By having post milestones as part of Veteran Status, one would only encourage worthless spamming all over the boards in an attempt to reach 1000+ posts; seems like a bad idea in the long run.

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

Except that if you do that, we ban you, and you get no status at all because you're banned.

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

I like devonin's idea. It looks like it would work well.

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

I think if anybody actually took the time to try and creatively spampost in a way that got them postcount, and spam gameplays for GTS JUST so they could get the couple little additions veterans get, then I mean...gratz? I guess?

Pretty much this lol

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

I agree with Devonin's idea. The vet status is more about the game than the forums or profile stuff. I don't know why some of you are getting irate over the terms of a vet status being too easy or being less strict. I don't see how being around for x amount of years really has anything to do with being a vet. With Devonin's idea, it gives an alternate way of obtaining it. Again, most of the veteran features are about the game itself. Not for the forum or longevity of an e-account.

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

I deserve a veteran status

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

Vet status should be timebased ONLY. Throwing gts and forum crap into it is retarded
