By the way, /ah works too. I ended up binding the Auction House Anywhere™ to my Y key with

Code:
/bind y "ah"
What a weird feeling I get when I'm selling and buying various things in the middle of the RWZ. I feel like I'm cheating when I use this ability!

I almost think the current Vet Award system has outlived the idea of just being open-ended forever. I don't know what alternative there is for this at this point, I just the think something different should be done to avoid this ever worsening situation.
Add a life-time subscription option for some odd 4 Year+ payment plan and award users that purchase life-time subscriptions with up-to-date veteran rewards.

Simple.

They could also tie the veteran rewards into the highly speculative CoH2 that seems to pop up as a topic every so often...

I don't think lifetime subscriptions are going to happen at this late date. Certainly not unless they overhaul the game to a free to play, micro-transaction model, and I for one would not look forward to that.

I think a better alternative would be to revamp the VR system so that each time someone gets a veteran reward, they can choose which reward they want to get. Long term vets will always have more total rewards than newbies, but no one would have to wait more than 3 months to get any particular shiny.
