Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

Simplicity is never the strongest suit from FFXI developers. It's like they have no clue when it comes to keep things simple and easy. By simply making the body pieces require more tickets will solve a lot of problem. Also if you get a duplicate of the body piece, you receive more tickets in return, easy, simple - but no, everything has to be so damn complicated. Also they are very desperate to stretch the contents so thin with very little efforts. I was going to buy FFXIII-2 but then again this and the nerf on beast master reminded me to not support SE effort on any type of the products. Thanks for making me a believer!!

I think the main issues with this are:

1) We only have so much inventory, if we get an item we're after theres no incentive to continue spamming the same one over and over. So no tickets into circulation.

2) We get an item we'll never use and it gets shipped to a mule (Due to only having so much inventory) and the next time said item drops we'll be stuck with it again and end up just /tossing it for the inventory space.

The only ones I really see people spamming much of PAST recieving an item they're after is T3 Zilarts (HMP Pouches) as well as T6 for Rift----- items.

Personally, I like the idea of a VW storage NPC and trading duplicates to it will give you your ticket, that way you aren't blowing inventory on items you're never going to use. The tickets can then be muled/given to a friend/sold/used.

jesus fkn christ, you have FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY available inventory slots on your character, on top of porter moogles, on top of being able to mule your incomplete AF3 seals and +2 items. Theres NO WAY youre maxing out unless youre not using whats available to you at all, and to top it off, YOU HAVE FOUR JOBS!!!!!!

He might have four jobs but a lot of people have plenty more. Let's not start going Tsuki in here and nuking in Maleficus with 50 slots on Red mage. It's a legitimate general complaint, especially for the more perfectionist types.

Thanks, Those are just the jobs worth mentioning, I do indeed have more than 4 jobs, though on those 4 jobs, MNK PLD WHM and BLM. They all 4 have A LOT of situational gear, paladin especially. And no I don't nuke in Maleficous so I have staves, enfeeb sets, idle gear, aspir/drain sets, etc. and that's not even getting into my WHM gear. Sure, I only FOCUS on four of my jobs but I also have Ninja and Dancer geared as well (not near to the level of those other four) but 480 is nothing if you are going to take your jobs SERIOUSLY. Yes, I have some spare room around, but not much, and I'm leveling a few more jobs yet, and I'm posting concearns based on EVERYONE AS A WHOLE.

So you need to own at least one of the item before you can turn the next drop into a Ticket? So essentially I'd need to own one Coruscanti before I could turn the next one into a Ticket to give to an LS mate?

Is that right? Because that's retarded. That's an inventory nightmare.

It's amazing how you can take a good idea and completely ruin it, for no logical reason.

Yep I called it. No surprise here, il just ignore logwatch and wait for nyzule or legion.

480 isn't a lot. Especially if you have several well geared jobs.

For the sake of argument let's say 480 is enough. There is still no reason to choke your inventory with one of each drop that you don't want, when SE could easily make that one drop = one Ticket. It makes zero sense the way they're setting it up.

tickets will probably be mulable as well, seeing as how you can mule AF3+1/2 items

I don't think I ever "misunderstood" the system. I knew they weren't planning to hand over the items. I think the system is fine and is certainly better then what we have. What does concern me is by making one ticket per item its basically condeming any player to x2 off all VW drops they ever acquire. Unmulable, Undroppable, Unstorable (if they ever do) otherwise players can't take advantage of the ticket system. I'm glad that even an unlucky person can get the harder to get items. (they drop more then people seem to think, unfortunatly never to those in need) But, I frankly terrified what this implys for my already suffering inventory (I have several R/X VW drops that ill never toss do to the shear fear of never seeing it again, more importantly I've resorted to a mule to store it due to the volume of drops x1-3 for nearly every VWNM. Not only will I have to move it all back but, ill also have to maintain the ticket space too. more or less -2 inventory per if i plan to make use of the system.)
