You don't get them on the Anniversery because they can't add items into the game between Live Updates... and consitering it's only about a week from LU50 only those that started on Launchday would be getting them anyway.

Also there are 2 fireworks types one exlpodes in you hand in all directions, the other exlpodes in a circle again in your hand, this one looks like it Launches from your hand and then has multiple explosions in the sky... I think that is alot better and more ovious that you are a vet.

The other thing you got to remember is that the game is not 5 years old... so your not really a 5year vet you are a 4 year vet that has earned 5 year status, by buying expainsions... something everyone did, so if they gave titles and such out at the 4 year aniversery they would have think up a differant title and other cool stuff for the Real 5 Year vet reward(wich IMO is the one that the really cool stuff should come at)

Why are you splitting hairs? It is a reward regardless of how you want to count the time, so your constant picking at the count is meaningless.

Should people be happy with crappy rewards because you count the time differently? I don't think so, I think that GrunEQ has very valid concerns and that the rewards are in fact less than spectacular no matter how you count the time to get to them.

So you think the fireworks are better than a title? Oh please, who in their right mind goes around shooting off fireworks all the time? You use them occasionally, but a title shows at all times.

Who can even tell the difference between the fireworks, let alone know which one means what? Are you serious, no one is (ok MOST people are not) that obsessive.

So please stop minimizing other peoples comments and desires by trying to paint this as an unearned reward and simply something we should be grateful for having, we earned it one way or the other and it should be more fitting to the time involved to achieve it.

And the Vitality orb should refresh TS exp as well, I have never run out of adv vitality, but every one of my tradeskillers has been sat out for a week to regain vitality.

Bratface, while I loathe to agree with you. These vet rewards are completely lackluster.

So what? They don't have to give them.  Maybe it would be a better idea just to terminate the freebies and forget about the whole thing.

Atleast add some nice title like every other year, shouldn't be that hard to code, and it's the best way to show off that you have played this game since launch. Otherwise i'm not getting anything this year, since XP potions don't increase AA gain afaik.

Most of you guys are not even listing things you would want to see different but to just complain? I suggested to open up the EQII picutures claim again so if thats not enough then give ideas instead complaining. As to weather it will change I doubt it but at least we can try even though tomorrow it comes to all who can claim.........

Why are you splitting hairs? It is a reward regardless of how you want to count the time, so your constant picking at the count is meaningless.

My point in talking about the count is that, in one year EQ2 will have it's Five Year aniversery, if they give us stuff that is too good now, then what will they be able to give us when the real aniversery comes around... 4 year is no big deal, 5 year is.

Should people be happy with crappy rewards because you count the time differently? I don't think so, I think that GrunEQ has very valid concerns and that the rewards are in fact less than spectacular no matter how you count the time to get to them.

What is and is not crappy is a matter of Opion, I personally think titles are a crappy reward because there are so many of them and you can only show one at a time... Same with cloaks really.

So you think the fireworks are better than a title? Yes, I do. Oh please, who in their right mind goes around shooting off fireworks all the time? I don't know about all the time but I do shoot them off alot...especally when waiting for group members... when was the last time use used the last vet title... my guess about 3 months after it came out... when it stopped being special. You use them occasionally, but a title shows at all times. Yeah, but only one of them... again do you have your last vet reward title up?

Who can even tell the difference between the fireworks, let alone know which one means what? I can certanly tell the differance between a Circle exploding around your hand, and a "Startburst", and this one is going to be Multiple bursts IN THE SKY... I don't have to be OCD to tell the differance between a Circle, a Sphear, and multiple explosions above the casters head. Are you serious, no one is (ok MOST people are not) that obsessive.

So please stop minimizing other peoples comments and desires by trying to paint this as an unearned reward and simply something we should be grateful for having, we earned it one way or the other and it should be more fitting to the time involved to achieve it.

I am not minimizing anyones comments, I am mearly stating that a) I like the rewards and b) these are not the true "5 Year" rewards, those will come next year, and those IMO should be far supirior then anything that has come befor as vet rewards.

And the Vitality orb should refresh TS exp as well, I have never run out of adv vitality, but every one of my tradeskillers has been sat out for a week to regain vitality.

Here is one place we agree, there really is no (non-mechanics) reason that the orb should not replenish both Vit pools... if there is a technical limitation in the programing that is a differant issue, and one that should be over come by giving 2 orbs then.

IMHO the new rewards are fun.  The pixie on a string is very cute and actually a good light source as well without using any inventory slots at all. 

I was very disappointed that there was no new title, though.  We have been given a new title every year.  Could you please add one?

I was wondering what the title for 4 years of dedicated playing should be.

"the Certifiable"

"the Divorced"
