The only person who reported a bug here is me.
You're suggesting that my account may not qualify for the trophy. If it doesn't qualify, it should not have received the trophy -- but it did.
On the other hand, if it does qualify, I should have been able to get the trophy with any level 50 toon on the account -- but I couldn't. I had to try twelve or fifteen toons on three servers to get it a single time.
Either way, this is a bug.
Here's another aspect of the bug which I didn't bother mentioning earlier.
When most of this account's toons ask for the trophy, the Census Overseer tells them that they've already received their reward. They were told this on all three servers before I managed to get the trophy a single time on Ywain. On two servers where the account has not received the trophy, they are still being told this.
Regardless of whether the account qualifies, that's a bug.

Mythic said in writing that the account doesn't need a five-year stretch but rather its active periods have to add up to five years. Here are their exact words. Note the last sentence:
Mythic wrote:-- Players who have accounts which have been active for 5 years are eligible to receive two new trophies as rewards to our veteran players.
-- Players should visit the Census Overseer, in their capital city, just outside the throne room, to find out if they are eligible.
-- Note: Your account does not need to be active for 5 years consecutively, but 5 years accumulatively to be eligible.
Source: Patch Notes: version 1.90By the way, I'm pretty sure my account has been open for more than ten years "accumulatively." Which is pretty disturbing -- I wasted more than $15 x 120 months = $1800 dollars on this silly game. And that's just one of my accounts!
