What do YOU think about the PL shield as a veteran reward?

[Samhayne]

I think it was pretty much the only solution left to them once they realized the storm it kicked up. I probably would have put it as a year instead of 6 months, but the concept of a veteran reward was pretty much all they had left to end the controversy. And I think it should really be termed a "longevity reward" since lots of people seem offended at applying the term "veteran". To those I say, get over yourselves. "Oh nobody's legit unless they played back when I did" just makes you look like an old man sitting in a rocking chair muttering about "kids today". Anyone who chooses to invest a significant amount of time in a game deserves to be recognized for it. In fact, you could argue that sticking around for 6 months today is much harder than it was back then when new content was dropping regularly.

Fusion is pretty perceptive.

I'm looking at making another version of the shield and stick it out at say 3 years. We'll see how that goes.
