GT and join date are pretty much THE two stupidest ways to tell if someone's a vet lol. Either the requirements should be changed, or the title "Veteran" should be changed to something less implying of skill, like "FFR Parasite" or "Dude Who Likes Forums" or something. Or keep Veteran the way it is, and make a new title that actually describes good players, so they can have something too.

But I would say the skill requirements of vet should be lower. There's a weird unspoken consensus among disgustingly good top-tier players here that anyone who can't AAA an FMO is an amateur, but let's face it, anyone who can full combo a VC is already pretty ****ing beast tbh. I don't feel like Veteran status should be something that takes more than 90 or 100 hours to get. That's almost enough time to make flawless endgame files in a lot of RPGs. If the reason the status even exists is to recognize outstanding skill, the requirements really are bullshit.
