/unsigned. costume pieces should just be unlocked anyways. never tied into vet rewards. hence why there haven't been anymore introduced that way.
/unsign as well
The only unlock I think should be a Vet is capes at level 1.
I'm not sure about the ones you earn from game play. I would love to see the invention costume bits veted though.
I am naturally against unlockable costumes in general, so any change that puts them in my costume editor at creation immediately gains favour with me.
That said, I'm still more in favour of global unlocks.

/unsigned because I'd rather have Global Unlocks than this. (Essentially, unlocking a costume piece on one character unlocks the costume piece for all of them.)
If global unlocks (and removal of locking mechanics) were not on the table would this be acceptable?

If I have to choose between having to unlock costumes on every character and there being a high veteran reward that unlocks them, I prefer the reward. It's better than nothing.|

*edit*
And even with your link, I still barely find them. They're hidden amidst something like 20 stickes in a forum I almost never visit. What was wrong with having a copy at the top of every forum?

Here's a way to create a few more Veteran Reward badges: give longterm players a chance to get unlockable costume bits at level 1. Said unlockable costume bits include:
-The Vanguard Armor set, with or without the weapon options
-Winter Event goodies like the Stocking Cap, Furry Gloves & Boots, and Earmuffs.
-Valentines' costume parts like the Toga, Laurel, Sandals, and the Hearts pattern (hey, the Wedding Pack gives us Hearts Plus from the get-go, why not the original?)
-Weapons that are unlocked via defeat badges (with some exceptions)
I know these are some pretty drastic rewards, but if these were implemented they'd go to people who have been playing (and *paying*) for 7+ YEARS. If anyone's earned the right to skip the grind of earning these purely cosmetic pieces, it's them.
There's room for negotiation, of course. Some things like the Nictus Sword from Romulus should still be earned the old fashioned way, and it's possible we could add craftable costume parts to the list above. I want to open the floor to everyone and see what should and shouldn't be made available to the real diehards (Hey, that could be one of the badge names, Diehard...)
