They mentioned that those of us who've played since day 1 will have something to show for it in D2. Though I haven't heard anything as to what yet. An emblem seems likely, or maybe a shader would be cool.
Well they mentioned they've been "watching" all of us since we started playing... so even if you switched consoles I would hope that they could see your start date and reward you even so. I don't care about being the best PvE player or the best PvP player... but I want something that says "I've been here from the start and you'll never achieve what I have because you weren't"
A little douchy sure... but I suppose it's the destiny hipster in all of us.
its not douchy imo - if a player has played since beta that loyalty to the game should be rewarded for all the destiny nerds to see. Its a legit and apropos way of showing this.
