Entry: "The devs decided we were a disposable commodity and pop the vet program went"
Defenition: Devs didn't have the time/too busy to keep up with the amount of organization needed.
Once people realized that any 6 people could just sign up (the scrimming rules were never enforced), there was an influx of players that weren't up to the old vet standards and the general asshattery led to the elimination of the whole vet program.

My opinion is the vet icon should be something individual servers can control, done by steam ID.
In this way servers could decide who gets the vet icons. Are they the MPV guys/gals who are nice to everybody? Are they the top 10 players on the server? (which would work off whatever ranking system is used)
The debate on who deserves a vet icon will never fair if it is standardized. And giving the vet icon ability as a reward system for the individual servers will allow them to make their own systems for it.
That is what I think is the <i><b>best</b></i> solution by far to this debate.

Or use it as a second constellation icon.
Perhaps for those who donated before 2.0, and the whole mess arised.
Edit - I mean as a "These are the guys that saved me the first time I needed help, and these are the guys that saved me the second time" Not that the people who donated first time round are better than the later ones.

You could do that but for what reason? If admins want they can give players dev icons.
Based on what has been said so far, I can't see this thread being anything but people bashing the decision to remove the Vets, or bashing the PTs, and as such I'm going to lock it.
