I ran across an article from 2013 today that was an interview from a dev where they said that they planned to change the way that vet rewards work. She said that they planned to make it so that anyone can use a reward once obtained. Such as if I bought an ethereal mount statue from a vendor I could ride it even if my account was brand new. I have noticed that I am able to use any of the dye tubs at crafters but I don't remember if there ever was an age restriction on dye tubs. Can anyone tell me if this change was ever actually implemented?
I had to make a new account when I started playing again a few months ago and lost out on all my old vet rewards. If I can use them I might pick up a few off of UoStock.
