Well that sucks donkey nards! Been using all my vet AAs for over a year now and they decide that now they need to restrict them! I just don't get these so called "fixes".

It's particularly heinous against veterans who play the TLP cycle since most TLPs wind down before veteran rewards are even available. Less and less rewards for being an EQ veteran these days.

these kinds of unnecessary changes started with moving golden idols from classic to luclin, and show no signs of stopping.

Being an EQ veteran nowadays means that you have calluses on your southernmost aperture.

Back in my day, EQ veterans didn't need handouts.

OK EQ Boomer

Great change out of era abilities don't belong on TLP

OP salty for no reason

Sweet a great reason to cancel my accounts. Thanks for the update.

accumulating years towards vet rewards was one of the few reasons i kept some of my alt accounts active. guess i dont need to do that any longer at least.

I just dont get this change. GoD was explicitly chosen as the time to add vet rewards in way back during Fippy.

its looking more and more like Mangler will be my last hurrah on EQ. just alot of small changes that do nothing but detract from the fun of the game

Already a thread about this, doesn't need yet another.
