New Veteran Status - Opinions?

[wargasm1]

I still think 3bil is not enough and 3 years is too long :P. If you ask me 20bil would be nice, but then im the one with 24bil and dont care about others .

Well personally, I havn't been active a whole lot on the forums in the 3.3 years I have been playing the game. I don't see how this would mean I'm not a "Veteran" and I havn't studied anyones progress over the 3 years I've been playing so I don't know whether 3b GTS is ideal, but from my point of view it is (Played 3 years, 4.6b GTS). So of course, from here it looks okay. However I havn't completely no-lifed this game, and I don't know whether they're trying to get at this or not. :P

EDIT: On a whole though, I think it's a good idea... Certainly gives me more incentive to post on the forums a little more, nothing wrong with getting those silent 'veterans' to indulge in wonderful discussion.

I r veteran. And It makes sense to have a certain breadth of playing to be a veteran because most of the bonuses are detailed to players anyways, not forum regs. Thus people who have been around forever don't necessarily need vet status, they are just old-timers. Besides, many of the forum regs are now mods, etc. anyways.

Hopefully I'm not missing posts


Edit: my post count actually went up lolololol

I don't like the 3B points to earn it. I think its only fair for the TRUE veterans to get the status. Ive seen people get 1.5B points in 1 day! So what 2 maybe 3 days they reach veteran stat? It's highly unlikely but i still don't like it.

My opinion: Make the veteran status for those who have been here 3+ years and get of the 3B points BS.

[IAAW]

You need both 3 years and 3 bil GTS if you've been thinking it was 3 years or 3 bil GTS. And does not mean or.

[Plan_Bsk81127]

3 yrs + under 1500 av rank to show you are truly veteran worthy of the game/site. Idk, just felt like saying something, I really dont care which way they choose to do it, I will most likely have it unless the years needed it upped. Then I will be sad. lul.

Veteran status should be 4 to 5 years member. Anyone who joined before 2006 can be considered a veteran - considering how long the website has been around for.

I make an average of 1m points per song. Someone that plays a lot play a 100 songs in a day... And that's the top, I never got there myself, I usually barely do 50 in my top...

So yeah, I've seen 500 plays in a day but I've never heard of over 1500 plays in a day... 1500 plays 2 days in a row? That's ****ing insane if you ask me. A lot of people who have been playing for months have much less than 3000 plays, do you REALLY think it can be done in 2 days? 3000 games in 2 days. Really.

If it's so easy to get, why would they take it off? Also, everyone who would have made an account early and just let it sit there would be Veteran when they come back? There are many, many inactive accounts out there.

[who_cares973]

Making 300-400m in a day is pretty easy when you're a good player. But anyone that's a good player is already a veteran. For anyone else though getting 3b is no easy task

Have it stay and monitor how many people get vet status in a month. If the number is alarmingly high raise the req. If not then leave it

[TheSaxRunner05]

Plus only one person got 1.5 billion, not "people" which implies plural, and less than 10 had a billion in a day ... it's not easy.

The trouble with only having a join date requirement is inactive accounts can be veterans while people with 5 or 6 billion points could still not qualify. I think the 3 billion mark is a little low. How about a requirement to be in the top 1,000 in overall rank (right now around 4.7 billion) to be a veteran, or 3 years?
