Default Re: New Veteran Status - Opinions?

My suggestion is to get it after a certain time period, but also have another factor come into play if a person has not met the time criteria.

Another thing, just for thought, is to set up some sort of voting system where Veterans could click a botton on someones profile or under their avatar in the forums for example, which could either subtract the amount of time it takes that person to reach Veteran status or just to make a certain number of votes the target. It's just a random idea I thought of, but seeing how it COULD go horribly wrong (like alts voting for the main account) I'm not sure how it would work out.
I think that feature would only be allowed to a select few.

On another note, I think EVERYONE is misreading the fact of everything. Our opinions are being said as min. standards I supposed, such as what I posted. There are occasions stated above that people deserve Veteran Status.

But as a standard, everything should be involved for the average player to acquire Veteran Status. I do believe they're exceptions for those who help the community greatly without having the requirements.
