Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

This change SE proposed is not enough. I want drops to be 100% and ideally have the NM fights as optional.

Lols I agree people want things too easy, I guess I just want people to realize its not gonna be lets turn my gorgets into corscantis is why I replied to this thread not to mention even if they can no word that we'll be seeing these changes in december i'm betting at the earliest.

lol^

Anyway, I know it's not likely but I see people talking about the fact that you most likely won't be able to trade "up" on items. There is always the possibility that X number of lower tickets could be converted into higher ranking gear say you get like 20 chakram's or something then you'd be eligible for turning in for a harness, I don't think they're gonna make it as easy as oh hey heres 6 chakrams I can get a harness now, though it's my guess that the bodies for all 3 T3 jeuno will be on the same ticket and getting a duplicate of any of the three will help out towards one of the others etc. Chakarm = lolAkvanheadband = Mantis Eye? something like that,

Can it please be a KEY ITEM my inventory issues drive me insane as it is with all the silly abyssea seals I love the idea anything is better than what it is today but having to hold multiple items in our limited storage space already has me as a sad panda...

Riddle me this Tinu, How exactly would this improve anything if the only thing my 6 Chakrams could turn into was another Chakram? So i can give my friend a Chakram? Unless he's been living in a hole he probably has 8 Chakram tokens himself too.

Its not to say I'm not ecstatic about this update, Its just if its implemented wrongly, It will literally change very little to absolutely nothing.

How often would you imagine someone with Coruscanti gets a second Coruscanti, What are the odds he's even continuing to fight Qilin after obtaining his first? I'm just trying to point out, People have the right to be skeptical, when if implemented incorrectly, this could change absolutely nothing.

Don't mistake cautiousness for ungratefulness amongst some of these replies. True, Some people here really are just whining because they want 100% Drops, but few of us are just cautious because of the wording.

• In the event that a rare/ex item drops to you when you already possess the item, it will be possible to exchange that item for a ticket (name pending)
• Once you obtain a certain amount of these tickets, it will be possible to exchange them for a rare/ex item of your choice.
  *There will be different types of tickets for different items and you will need to collect the respective ticket for the item you would like.
  *The required number of tickets is still being looked into and there is a possibility of change, but currently we estimate it to be about 5~6.
• Tickets will be tradable and sellable.

Just as a clarification, you can only get a tickets by exchanging something you already have? So this ticket exchange will happen at the chest? Or can you trade any unwanted item to an NPC to receive tickets?

Eg. Lets say you get the body from Hahava, but wanted the body from Celano, would you be able to trade that first Hahava body in, or would you have to wait to get a 2nd?

Love the signature,

In my previous post I touched on possiblities for this (if you hadn't read yet due to typing yours or something).

I can see it just taking more tickets of a lesser item to get a higher item.

Example: 20 Chakrams or 20 Headbands or 20 Mantis Eye = 1 Body


Also I believe that tiers will be linked

Example:

Akvan / Kaggen / Pil's Bodies will all = the same ticket type.


(this part I didn't really touch on) Also let's say you're spamming t6 to upgrade empys and you start getting multiplie ra/ex drops from those, considering they're all "higher" level gear you could in theorey turn those ra/ex items into lower ranking gear if you so desired.

Example: Ogier's Surcoat x6 = Toci's Harness or whatever lower item you're after.


These are just my thoughts on how things will work.... or how they should work... we'll see what happens eh?

Storage NPC for Voidwatch items that isn't a porter moogle and when trading a duplicate you get the ticket? Yes, Please! Inventory is already hurting, most the stuff I get that I don't want gets shipped off to a mule I'd never actually havei t laying around to get a duplicate of.

See, that was my original idea/thought too. (I posted it here in this thread somewhere...)

That tickets may work in a "Tier" System, I.E

Eye = Tier 1
Belt = Tier 2
Body = Tier 3

And You get a "Tier 1 Ticket" for every Chakram, Only exchangeable for other Tier 1 tickets (Chakram, Gerra's Staff, Etc). Still, Without a way to exchange the lower tickets for higher tier tickets, It would change very little. I don't actually know anyone who's gotten 2 bodies. I know it happens, But quite rarely, Double for people getting Borealis or Coruscanti twice. Obtaining 6 Coruscanti Tickets, If the only way to get one was from a Owner getting a duplicate, Would be years of effort, Probably better spent spamming Qilins >_>

Still, I say, It is in improvement, But as the rest of my previous post states, If implemented incorrectly, It'll be like going from 1%, to 1.1%. While an improvement, It'd be a lot of wasting development time and potential for something negligible in usefulness.

I pretty much think they're going to have it be a tiered system like you say. I wonder how much this helps, as you would only get tickets if you have the item in your possession already, and it sounds like you'd need multiples to get the item you want.
