Bug or WAI...

...having to zone in order to claim multiple instances of the 36 Month Base Items?

*Arc #177826-Lights, Camera, Scream! - 3 step arc, camp horror; try out in 1st person POV - 35 Ratings/4 Stars

do you mean, why do you have to log in all of your toons to get the vet reward?

I believe this is WAI, and is not limited to the 36-month items.

It's done that way to prevent multiple copies of the items due to accidental double-clicks or lag.

You have earned the right to have a flyer as a decorative item in your base. This reward never expires, and you can claim it multiple times.
In order for me to claim it multiple times off of one toon; he/she has to zone after each claim in order to be able to claim another. If the toon doesn't zone then he can't claim a second, third or other flyer.

So, if I want to put 10 flyers into my base I end up having to zone 9 times (in/out the base) to do it.

Has it always been like this? It seems like I was able to just claim away on my 12mo Base Items (which I cannot do now).

Not always, no. AFAIK, this was done on purpose as a "fix".

Personally, I think a better way to prevent duplicates would have been to have an "are you sure?" dialog box for anything you claim. That way there would be no chance of accidental double-clicks or lag causing a problem anyway. Even a "you just claimed this reward 10 seconds ago, please wait another 20 seconds before claiming another" message would probably have been more convenient, but I'm not a Dev, so there ya go. lol
