Vet = someone whose been around and knows how the game works. Usually considered Closed Beta Testers.

They're talking about being closed beta vets. |

im not sure what a vet is... i was playing when it was still closed beta and i still use only advanced suits or militia suits... so only like 4mil sp is actually put to use... some people consider vet as proto. i consider vet as being able to adapt to any changes CCP makes. us EVE pilots have been doing it for years. why cant the dusties? |

I think the thing that defines a vet is their love of all creatures, great and small. At least the good vets. Otherwise it is just some guy or gal with a job. Not a calling. |

adapting is one thing relearning mechanics from scratch is totaly different ... i was a g.o.w beta tester for 2 and 3 and the beta to finished product mechanicaly was damn near identical (gears of war technicaly is a distant cousin to this game to those who dont know ) they didnt change that much in the first few patches of that game not as much as dust has thrown at us the hammer burst felt like a hammer burst the lancer felt like a lancer from beta to release they did tweak the spread of the gnasher and the dps but that was needed , dust ccp took too drastic of nerfing and took a little too far in the skill rebuild as in it wasnt broke there was no need to fix just add to it .. my personal opinion |

lol. mr. serious
anyways. if you like i said. if you play eve for some amount of time (or for mr. serious, do your time in the military) then you will learn that there is always a vet. there was always someone before you with more experience. so a "vet" is a dynamic thing based on perspective. i am a vet to some but i dont consider myself one because alpha testers are vets to me... |

Actually, the correct definition of the word doesn't restrict its use to military applications, and it's perfectly valid to call someone with a significant amount of experience in any specific environment where others have much less experience a veteran.
You can be a veteran veterinarian when you've been working with animals for 30 years. |

You can be a veteran veterinarian when you've been working with animals for 30 years. That only works because veterinarians already have veterin as part of their name. But vegetarians get no such quarter.

As stated previously and within the context of this game:
Vet = typically someone from the closed beta days of this game who have witnessed/played each new patch.
Over time, quite a few have developed a considerable sense of entitlement with this game, claiming that it should be a certain way. I'm not excluding myself from this, but I don't consider myself to be as extreme as others. My old character is "The Polish Hammer", but I shortened it because I thought the "The" was silly. |

I've been digging ditches and laying pipe for over fifteen years. Does that make me a vet, or just a dumbass who should have finished college?  |

Well, it makes you a veteran in that job, so yeah.
I'd define a vet as anyone who was around for closed beta. |

Veteran
1. a person who has had long service or experience in an occupation, office, or the like: a veteran of the police force; a veteran of many sports competitions.
2. a person who has served in a military force, especially one who has fought in a war: a Vietnam veteran.
Sounds like what you are implying is actually the secondary meaning and the meaning of veteran on dust is more correct. No offense to those enlisted, just sayin'.  |

A veteran is not defined. He is made from the battlefield. (closed beta) And then approved by the ladies.  |

Simple answer, right there. I would add that seeing the direction by having been in multiple builds brings knowledge that also validates the "vet" tag |
