New Veteran Status - Opinions?

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

Veteran status only belongs to the pros. People who DO have over 3 billion total score. People that have ACTUALLY been around for the 3 years.
It sounds like a good idea, except if people just try to find loop holes to get to it. Ruins the fun. Not good, no.

I've been here for 3 years, and counting, and I'm not saying I deserve it.
Definitely not.

Elitism is retarded.

Well then. If it is "retarded", may I ask you explain your reasoning behind this?

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

What does time mean at all for this? So what if you visited this a couple years ago and joined. How does that determine you're a veteran? How does time have to do with anything about the features of being a veteran? May it be a restriction, yes. Should there be other means to obtain it? Of course. Devonin's idea is a median between all fields. If someone can mash out 4-7 billion points, they're obviously putting effort and work into it. Time = nothing. Just sits there and grows. How can you measure anything by that? The post thing I kinda disagree with but the forums are a major part of this site.

Also, to kind of fit with the time idea, I think skill tokens/regular tokens should be a part of the elite status, to prove you've actually spent the time to do those, and spent time on the account, instead of just allowing the account to remain stationary.

This all depends on what you guys see as a Veteran. Everyone has their own opinions but overall, isn't a Veteran good overall at something (FFR in this case)?

So I guess it should include everything. Time doesn't seem so necessary. There should be another rank, something like Family for time (joking). As for Veteran, AAAs, FCs, songs played, score gained etc... Should all count towards Veteran.

Even something like a total accumulated amount of credits should be accounted for and a certain MP rank (maybe). At least this way a True Veteran has had to be all over the site to be considered a Veteran.

In this case, I don't qualify for Veteran.

*edit* Dev's holistic idea is definitely the best for this, in my opinion.

I believe this is why there was a suggestion that forum posts be a part of the equation. It's a shame that 'active time in prochat/mp/vchat/forum' isn't recorded.

I agree with this. A Veteran is only someone who is actually taking part is all aspects of the website. Even though credits is iffy because they come and go, and people can just lend people credits if they wanted.

If they could find a way to incorporate forum posts into the veteran equation it would make more sense to me, because shouldn't a veteran member be someone who contributes to the community and not just someone who has been around and has lots of points?

Define contributing to the community. Do you mean such as, making songs and stepfiles for the game?

[Zageron]

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

There are so many aspects that should be brought into the equation... Having songs in the game, having a stepfile in the game, time, active time, posts, total score, average score?, what the community thinks of you,...... so many things just can't be calculated.

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

Right but it shouldn't be a popularity contest or some exclusive internet club. I just thought that people who contribute more should find it slightly easier to earn vet status.
