for myself, I don't need anything flashy or unique... just a little sumpin' that says I was here for that .. know what I mean?
I don't know......
I mean, online games are for business and business is for profit.
And having accounts active for years upon years upon years brings good revenues.
Meaning, that high end veteran rewards can be yet another good reason for players to keep their accounts active and so bring revenues to the companies that own them so that eventually these players can also get those cool and juicy high end veteran rewards.
But of course, at least as I see it, in order to be a reason to contribute good enough to keep an account active, high end veteran rewards should be meaningfull and not simply eye candy or decorative.
That's at least how I see it.
