1. If you have ever pulled over on the side of the road to snipe someone in PVP…you might be a veteran player.
2. If you can not only recognize friends and foes by their names in PVP, but also remember their alliance, roster, and funny things they’ve said on the forum or LINE app… you might be a veteran player.
3. If you have ever disrupted your precious REM sleep so you could get an extra cover in a new release PVE event…you might be a veteran player (you get the theme, I’ll let you fill in the blank at the end at this point).
4. If you have posted at least a dozen screen shots of new boards against 4* Teen Jean, where there are two critical matches waiting there taunting you…
5. If you roll your eyes at the newer players that grind early in PVE and they post their 1st place status to Facebook saying, “First place, hope it keeps!” when you know darn well that you used to do the same exact thing…
6. If you have ever scoffed at someone for asking if you’re playing “Candy Crush” and you try to convince them that MPQ is not even close…
8. If you have ever actively sought out someone to hit in PVP because they said something you disagreed with on the forums…
9. If you have ever literally fallen asleep while doing your PVE clears, but you wake up and you still managed to get optimal clears...
10. If you have dumped more points in PVP than most players have earned in PVP…
11. If you have ever been tempted to request that your spouse start referring to you by your MPQ name...
12. If you remember bragging on Myspace that you finally beat Ragnarok in prologue…
13. If you have convinced yourself that it is perfectly reasonable to spend more money on an MPQ costume and tchotchke than taking your entire family out for a Shoney's meal (and still have enough to generously tip your server and go for ice cream after)...
14. If your multiple maxed out Bag-Mans are more treasured than any trophy you could ever possess in real life...
15. If you have ever faked gastrointestinal distress during a work meeting so you could reset your shield in PVP…
16. If you have ever decided to pass on that lakeside home with an early retirement, and instead go with a set of 550s so you can match three with ultimate power…
17. If you have played MPQ in a movie theater, during the actual movie…
18. If you have had a heated discussion in the "pink or purple" debate...
19. If you have a tattoo of your MPQ alliance...
20. If you look forward to red lights while driving so you can play a quick match of MPQ...
21. If you realize that getting hit in PVP is not just someone innocently playing against you in a mobile phone video game, but is actually a personal attack against you, your character, and a blatant act of disrespect which must be quickly and severely repaid in kind...
22. If you have played MPQ in the shower…
23. If you have ever taken the time to read your allies' TU requests in the in-game chat, carefully cycle through your roster to find what they asked for, and laugh as you send Bag-Man TUs instead...
24. If you can call the Swarm with a straight face…
25. If you go to Discord to tell the devs what an awesome job they’re doing, and then go to LINE to complain about what a terrible job they’re doing…
26. If you feel like James Bond when “less informed” players wonder who the next character will be, but you’ve already seen the spoiler info…
27. If you forgot that sound and animations exist in this game…
28. If you have learned a new foreign language just from PVP coordination with your allies on the LINE app...
29. If you have ever tried to impress someone by bragging about your high-level Howard and Dino, but the committee at your doctoral dissertation have no idea what you're talking about...
30. If qqq, xws, #, R, grilling, dumping are part of your daily vocabulary…
31. If you open up your phone just to stare at your hoard. Just to look at it…
32. If you have ever thought of a LINE sticker that would be a perfect response to a real-life, face to face conversation…
33. If a friend or family member busts down the bathroom door because they think that you died, but you were really just doing your PVE clears and grind for next sub…
34. If you talk to your MPQ friends more than your RL friends (not that this is a bad thing)…
35. If you have had actual nightmares about opening your hoard before it’s time…
36. If you have played enough MPQ to become an expert under the “10,000 hour rule,” and get depressed when you realize you could have mastered an instrument or new skill instead…
37. If you have ever posted on the forums about retiring, and then realize that life is bleak and miserable without MPQ so you come back "George Costanza" style a few months later, pretending that you never left…https://youtu.be/IW78swzn_****?t=66
7. If you have ever based your day around doing DPQ, PVP climb, Lightning Rounds, PVE clears, PVP hops, boss event, PVE grind, forum posts, LINE coordination, and Discord discussion, and then realize there is only another 5 or so hours left in the day...
Cactus_Jack_87 said: After reading @DAZ0273's post about "What is a 'veteran' player?", I got to brainstorming of some of the more fun and silly things that can define a veteran player. Of course, it is highly encourage to read all of these in Jeff Foxworthy’s voice, American icon and national treasure that he is. Feel free to share if you think of any more! These are in no particular order, and are only numbered so you can tag and specifically accuse people that you know have been guilty of some of these 1. If you have ever pulled over on the side of the road to snipe someone in PVP…you might be a veteran player.

If you have had actual nightmares about opening your hoard before it’s time… If you have done any (OR ALL) of these...then you MIGHT be a veteran MPQ player.

- played during sex- passed on sex to playI might be a vet... might not... but I’m for sure a full blown addict.

Greenroom said: MPQ tattoos!?!?!? Creepy Iceman would be terrifying inked on human flesh.Think my favorite is the spouse one: "Babe, just for tonight, Can you call me Stinkypete14"But my own...You might be an MPQ veteran if you played at launch, quit out of anger when the very first "required character" node appeared only to decide years later that, despite its warts, this is the perfect mobile game for you and came crawling back and poured hours and hours a day into it for over 500 days straight while thinking multiple times a day just how amazing your roster could be if youd stuck it out that whole time

Oh this is a GREAT list @cactus_Jack_87 and speaks too me so much. Maybe cause we have played together for so long.
-Why pull over? Snipe them anytime!!
-Or Discord or LINE or....yes of course.
-Or had a shield drop of 3200+ points...
-Or to do PVE clears
-And then used 5* Thanos to prove them wrong
-Oh too many times.
-Too sad but true.
-Again, too many times or in a text with somebody.
Some to add
-You have more SS of hitting people then of your family on your phone.
-You get into an ally that you do not like, get TU from them, hit them while using said TU and then sending them the SS of you hitting them with the TU they gave you.
-You know exactly when certain people will be active due to where they live and how they operate. Then you plan around that to try and snipe them.
-You have been around long enough to have somebody hate you, until they see how you truly are, then become good friends with them.
-You have a snipe event with friends and count who got the most Bag Man covers from the event.
