[dev1007] Voidwatch: Obtaining Spoils

[Sappho]

I have a simple solution that will work to solve the most violently discussed problem.

Solution -
Remove the "Ex" from the "Rare/Ex" drops in VW.

Tada!

[Tsukino_Kaji]

They should remove the EX from everything. The idea of nontradable items is a stupid and lazy way to artificialy inflate the "difficulty" of a game.

It would be nice if we could get confirmation as to whether they have started working on the ticket system yet. I say this because if they haven't started working on it, then they should allow the community more time to talk them out of implementing it. They need to fix the spoils issue pronto, but I don't want them to waste resources on implementing something that flat out isn't going to help. In the interest of saving everyone's time, they just need to allow the transferring of items from personal chests to the treasure pool.

I know the devs have stated that they don't want to go this route, but the truth of the matter is that it's the simplest and best answer. The ticket system is needlessly convoluted and just plain isn't good enough. There's a whole community of players who participate in the content the devs have made, every minute of every day. Listening to us would be wise as, in this case, we understand the issue and the solution better than you do.

P.S.

Increase the drop rate of Heavy Metal Plates 10-100 fold. You're pissing off your customers.

Ya plates are stingy, and people are still trying to get 120+ for them. F that.

I haven't been selling them for 120 since they were 150. I hate bazaaring things. SE doesn't need to make them more obtainable, that'snot the problem here. They need to get off their assess and put them on the AH, there's no reason not too.

Yeah >.< except they would never be in stock haha. I basically gave up on metals. Selling all mine for 120 haha. I bought all for 110 and below so...

You know what sucks about plates. For a guy actually actively collecting them, I can spam a VWNM for 8 fight's and see maybe 1 or 2. But the guy next to me who keeps selling them to me after every fight end's up getting 5 to 6 of them. It's as if the system know you want them and just sit's back and taunt's you about not getting them by handing them off to the next guy who could care less. I can't tell you how many time's this has happen to me spamming Kaggen or Qilin.

[Tsukino_Kaji]

Wat sucks is that petrifacts are now taking up the top slot drop space lowering plates even more...

[Karbuncle]

Me and 3 other people in my group just got 3x Crystal Petrifact from a box lol... add another 0/4 on Toci's harness though.

What really grinds my gears, is the fact that when people get the plates, they are either keeping them for their jobs that they (i guarentee will never finish and eventually sell) need, or they sell for 120+ and people are stupid enough to buy them for that much because they aren't willing to wait for people to lower the price. It's like when people get gil, they automatically think that if they don't spend it, that there will never be anymore heavy metals. If people just held out on buying plates until they saw them for 105 or below, people would eventually start selling for around 100k again, because they need the gil. I have almost 350 metals, and I have never bought 120+ I bought like 10 at 110k. It's just dumb to buy for 120+ and cause other to ultimately have to pay that much too.
