What is a Maplestory Veteran?

Why do people call themselves "Maplestory Veterans?"

I don't remember fighting any wars.
How do I become one?
Is it considered Stolen Valor if I anvil a Mark of the Beta and wear it around?

[quote=thomas1985]Maplestory veterans: those who went through the hardships of early ms.

Where the only way to "buy yourself into the game" was by buying AP resets to HP wash. Where resources like mesos, good gear, scrolls etc. were scarce. Where it took dedication, time and teamwork to beat bosses and gain levels rather than relying on the amount of nx you're willing to purchase (plus all new ways to get good exp and extra exp boosts).[/quote]

So I have 5 years under my belt, I played briefly before Big Bang, and I have more experience/knowledge/playtime with/about/in the game than 90% of what you call maple vets... I still have my Dragon Glasses from when Evan was brand new. I remember training at Jesters and lower ascent. I remember training at MP3 at of 100, i did Dragon Rider when it was brand new, does that not make me a Veteran?

Ps: training to 250 still takes dedication and time, not teamwork so much, even with the new methods of training, and it while spending nx makes it easier, it doesn't take away from those who don't/won't/can't spend money on nx.
There were Always ways to buy yourself into the game, gachapon, scissors, meso sacks, (which were event nx) MTS, drop/exp coupons, hammers, Maple Life coupons to skip 30 lbs on a new character, slot expansions, not very impactful, but they still did!

The real veterans of the game are the ones who just sit around and afk because they've seen it all,sometimes talk with people, but no bossing/you have to let all of your godly equips just sit in your inv forever. Everybody else is just an average player.

I consider myself a veteran player because I used to have a lot of friends and waste a lot of time together but now everything changed when the fire nation attack.

Veteran: a person who has had long experience in a particular field.
Not restricted to the military. You can be a veteran golfer if you golf a lot and you can be a veteran mapler if you play Maplestory a lot.
Considering who you are, it's safe to say that you're already a veteran and that this thread isn't entirely serious.

It's just people making up labels to seem "cool" that they played Maple back in 2005 or whatever.
