New Veteran Status - Opinions?

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

I'm not arguing & saying take away my veteran status, but how did I get it? I have 18.6bil score & 2.94 years. So technically I wouldn't qualify because I don't have 3 years right?

I think supporters from before this change stayed blue. I could be wrong.

Everyone is trying to redevelopment the system rather than just give an opinion and advice. We are not in charge of changing or abolishing it. I think everyone forgets that.

In any case, I still stick with just making every aspect of FFR a factor. Any other way to obtain the status is determined by an Admin.

Vet status get

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

Dunno if this was mentioned before or not, but right now it's you have to get either 3 years or 3 billion points, I think it should be both or only 3 billion points.

Other than that, whoever gets it deserves it.

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

I like devonin's idea on the 7 years = veteran ; 1 year = GTS/posts.

But I think it would be easier if there were a BUNCH of factors that could contribute, like say there's a point-based scale where you would need 1000 to become veteran. There could be factors such as:

Every 1 billion GTS = 100 points
Every 1000 forum posts = 150 points
Every 6 months on the site = 150 points
Every 5000 FFR Games played = 150 points
Every token (skill/reg) = 15 points
Maybe something for profile votes or MP games

I think it should be a high points goal with a ton of possibilities. This way, the amount of work is more equal. If someone plays the game a ton and doesn't go on the forums, they could rely on the game metrics of the point scale and they wouldn't have to go whore posts in the forums. If someone's more social and on the forums, they could obtain Veteran Status by racking up points with posts/profiles and wouldn't have to play the game if they don't want.

Subtracting from 7 years just seems odd to me, but the concept is great.

Oh, and additional rewards for people who rock the forums and the game

^This...

Wait, I thought the requirement was to get both 3 billion points and 3 years.

What are the "distinguishing" features of Vet Status? I never had a subby before (although I wish I did)

View other people's levelranks, beta level reader, beta version of the game (which is meh), view token level ranks, subscriber forum, ability to change custom title, credit transfer log, ability to flag inappropriate profiles, amongst other things...

If this is the case, what benefit would Forum Veterans get? I agree there should be a forum veteran status, but with different features than the features Game Veterans get.

Idk... my two cents.

EDIT: With different requirements and stuff, I think there should be two statuses: Game and Forum

Game Vet Features:
Basically current subby

Forum Vet Features:
Maybe different color font, more smileys or emoticons, colored names, etc.? Idk...

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

people do not deserve prizes and rewards for being part of the community. i appreciate the gesture of the administration looking to give a few more privileges to people who are more involved in the community, but you guys are getting carried away. just leave it at what it is.

This is actually demeaning subs. So it's more towards a replacement at the moment. I don't know how and if subs will work in the future but this is a replacement, not something added. /your opinion

Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

All of you that think there should be an absolute time requirement must be trolling. Just look at Leonid, or VanillaMnm; don't they deserve Veteran status? I hate repeating myself but... this thread. =u=

Adding time to a holistic scale would still allow inactive accounts to get Vet. The difference is it would take them a lot more of the same inactivity. And if such people were to decide to play the game or navigate the forums, etc, they'd speed up the process. I'll just put Dev's idea on the front again.

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

Maybe with a bit of tweaking. I think I'm fairly active in the forums, but I only have 138 posts. Suggesting 500 as more of a compromise than a final value. Though it really won't matter to me so long as I can play the game more for Vet.
