That seems kind of like waiting to suggest you have pot roast for dinner until after your wife has started to make lasagna.

Don't see the problem. Happens in my house all the time. The lasagna gets put in the fridge for the next day and we eat pot roast.

OK, I'll wait until the new system is in place and then I'll suggest ways to change to it. |

And then I'll read through all the subsequent posts that say it's a waste of development time to revisit something they've already finished.

Actually, I've always liked the vet badges, because it gave me a chance to see how long a player has been around. It also gives me a chance to see if the player I'm with is relatively new to the game, or has been around a long time and is either someone who never bothered to really understand the game or is acting like an imbacile ingame in order to grief others.
(Seriously, I have come across some 3-month vet players who are really on the ball when it comes to this game, and I have met 18-month vet players who don't have a single clue.)
So I'd like to keep the vet badges in some form or other.

I haven't heard if they are getting rid of the badges or not. I hope they keep them. I only heard about the rough plans for selecting the perks, and I don't see a problem with letting someone choose Samurai Armor or the Boxing outfit (for example) 4 months into the game.

I don't either. In fact I'm all for it. What I'm asking for is that if someone else doesn't mind waiting 21 months (or whatever) to get that Samurai Armor, they have the option of doing so and getting it anyway so they can spend their Paragon Points on something else.

From what I've seen, there's going to be Paragon Points and there's going to be Reward Points. Not 100% clear on how it's going to work out, but from what was said in that huge thread before I stopped reading it, it sounds like Reward Points will be what gets us the vet reward stuff.

Devs:
Please do not stop the automatic once/three months rewarding of Veteran Rewards and Badges when COH: Freedom goes live. ETA: I am not asking that you keep adding these beyond 84 or 87 months or whatever.
I believe you said that these will still be available for purchase using the Paragon Points we aquire each month, but that is not the same as earning them based soley on time spent subscribed. Since Paragon Points will be usable to purchase things other than Vet Rewards/Badges, this will penalize anyone who is below whatever the eventual Vet reward cap is.
Therefore, I would suggest that the vet reward system remain in place, exactly as it is now with the additional option of buying rewards early. That way if I want something immediately, like the Auction House remote access power, I have the option of spending Paragon Points to buy it early, but if I don't mind waiting for the 45 month Freespec, I'll still eventually get it, like all the current 45 month vets did, without having to "buy" it.
