I voted NO that they should NOT sell vet rewards. These are supposed to be FREE for being a loyal customer be the items 1 yr. vet rewards or 12 yr. vet rewards.
I would no more like to see them sell ethereals, nor dye tubs, crystal portals, mining carts etc. nor the real 12 yr. vet house teleporter tiles for 10 bucks or any amt. of money.
Selling some things that are precariously similar well, that remains to be seen and it all may not be their best move, but they have done it before with other spring collections etc. to the *rares* community too.
I do not see these new house telporter tiles, as the same as my or other customers, 12 yr. vet house teleporter tiles. *similar but not the same.*
Part of the *fun* of vet rewards is getting it as a free gift for paying them for 1 yr. or 12 yrs. of being their customers.
Part of the *fun* of the older vet rewards are in that some can not even be used till ya come of age, or being the first ones to GET these cuz you just happen to have been a loyal customer longer and so ya claim x vet reward, being like the first kid on the block to have it and others go 'oooh ahh wish I could have one' !
Then the vets sell em all off to the others anyhow flooding the markets with em and they are everywhere in due time, especially if said vet reward requires no *age* to use em by others.
These new spring collection type house teleporter tiles require *charges,* they are not the same as the 12 yr. vet tiles, close, but not the same, so in reality, in theory, on a technicality, in my opinion, they are NOT selling the 12 yr. vet reward house teleporter tiles, to customers.
IF they were selling the identical tiles ie the 12 yr. vet ones, I might be ticked off !
We all like our vet rewards, hopefully EA will never actually sell these in their identical original forms, in promos be they crystal portals, dye tubs, ethereals or any identical vet rewards for cash cuz they are meant to be *gifts* for our paying monthly loyal customer fees and our time with them. In the end though players all buy em off other players anyhow and each of the vet rewards uniqueness gets blurred over time anyhow.
*rides off from her Ankh Of Sacrafice at house a, on her once brand new first one on her block to ever ride one in UO, vet reward ethereal horse 9 yrs ago, and changes to riding her her ethereal... polar bear to step on her 12 vet house tile, to house b, to collect ore from her ore cart.* lol
