Having tier 9 rewards cycle faster than you can earn paragon reward tokens. And the only way to ctach up is to my Paragon Points, which after so many grants you tokens.

Except it isn't. In any way shape or form. Think of it as replacing Veteran Rewards badges (fixed order of fixed rewards) with a system that grants you a choice ever month (instead of every 3) and lets you decide what order to get things in (within limits, thus the tiers).|

Although, keep it up. I love seeing people who used to complain about getting rewards they'd never use now complain about getting rewards in the exact order they choose to get them.

*Looks at screenies* Hmmm. Yes, the firey one I have seen in-game, it was really nice. [And wow, do I hate the boots that go with that set, the round toe is just awful...] But that backpiece is really nice.
The backpiece my OP was about is not shown though, its hard to describe. This strange, spiky metallic thing. Awesome.
It is true that points are not an actual currency.... except they sort of are. I also take issue with the fact that there I was cruising through the in-game store, and these pieces were completely invisible. I think they should be pictured, along with notation of what the player will need to get their hands on them. How else will people know how to work toward that goal? It had me confused as a +6 year veteran.
I am also a little concerned about the effect that "oh, you have to wait seven years to get that piece you want" will have. It won't take me seven years, but it will for new people who dont want to spend a lot of real-world money and that is sort of... not cool. Gate this and that, sure but seven years?! Sheesh.
More like 3 years. You get a reward token for every month subscribed after Freedom launches. It takes 37 to get all of the previous 8 tiers and all 3 of the new Tier 9 VIP level filled. With the one that everybody, including free players, get, and excluding any yearly tokens, which they initially said that we were going to keep getting after Freedom launched here, but later have seemed to back off from, it will take exactly 36 months of subscription without ever buying points.

I feel like the main source of your confusion stems from preconceived notions you came up with, instead of newly learned facts. Someone new to the game won't know of any other system than this one, thus no confusion.|

Additionally, doesn't pay for you to make assumptions, because as Mesmer said, just because the original Vet Reward progression took that long, doesn't mean it still takes that long.

To answer my own question it took 24 hours for me to get new tokens after paying my fake money.
How long does it normally take for the tokens to show up?
