Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[Greatguardian]

I hope they'll realize 5-6 tickets basically means 5-6 bodies will be loading to the same people is pretty high, and probably never made use of, and will be adjusted to something like 2-4. I mean, hey sure, for the stuff like sceamol, fajin...where you generally wind up with 1 every 15 kills, they'll eventually make their rounds at 5-6 tickets. There wont be much use for tickets on what will really matter though at 5-6. Once people get their body, they generally dont do the fight anymore, unless its a mule lol

This is the biggest issue with all of this.

@Rune, no, you get 1 ticket per item after you own it. You just don't get a Heka's just by trading a single ticket to an NPC. They were talking about requiring 5-6 tickets to obtain each item.

This system seems to benefit VWNM LS's or larger LS's the most. People won't generally do the fight anymore in PUG's if they get a body, but WILL do repeats in LS events. I am already advising the people in my LS to keep all desirable ra/ex drops. People don't seem to mind taking an inventory hit since we are only talking about 10-15 truly desirable ra/ex items in VW. And since the bodies/glowy weapons are so rare, people would keep those ANYWAY. Who would throw a Toci's away even if they mostly had mage jobs? I know melee who got Heka's who just throw it on their mannequin because it's like a rare trophy. It's like winning a mog lottery at this rate :P

The fact that they're requiring 5-6 thrown out bodies to generate a single new body is pretty bloody ridiculous.

When they said "Oh, 5-6 tickets" I sat here thinking "Oh hey, that's cool. If I get like 10-15 Mantis Eyes or 5-10 Sceamol Bands I can turn them a body." But this? Destroy 6 bodies in order to generate one? Absolute horseshit. Does not help a thing.

So this really does mean you have to be lucky enough to re-obtain 5-6 more of an item you already have to get the ticket? If so this is a waste of time, please don't bother Square lol Upon reading this I thought maybe they would make being able to transfer lower tier items up to the point you can obtain a high teir one which would of been great.

This is a silly, stupid idea. I appreciate they are tryign to meet us halfway but really this does almost nothing for the real issue people have. The problem was never getting low tier drops which this would fix, the issue was getting high tier drops and nobdoy is going to do enough of a certain nm to get the top tier drop slip (5! duplicate HQ knives/bodies). Getting 2 or maybe 3 is a possibility but 5-6? wow, clueless.

What the hell? Are you dumb? You own X item, it loads in your chest, you get X ticket. How the heck are you understanding that you have to get 5-6 heka's to finally get a heka's ticket?

Part, of this system is in the design to help make players do it again, if for no reason then ticket sales. (which wont go for cheap) They don't like players showing favoritism with voidwatch, and perhaps they think the 1-5m pay-off will make people redo some VW.

[Greatguardian]

1% Drop rate on a 2-3M ticket would only be 20-30k/run on average. And who would pay more than 20M for a VW body?

Voiddust costs more than that so the price would have to be higher and considering that the people making tickets are doing so for gil there would be a significant markup to make it worth doing compared to even old fashioned farming.

[Mahoro]

I don't really think people would affirmatively do this for money. But it WILL be an extra bonus when you and/or your mule are helping out on the fight for friends/LS mates.

There will absolutely be a secondary market for these tickets. Assuming a 20M price tag for the rarest bodies, and the assumption that you will need 5-6 tickets, I assume each Toci/Heka/Mekira ticket will go for 3-4 mill.

Should be nothing for all you hardcore Dyna farmers who complain about ADL runs since it sacrifices your 2-4 mill each run ^^

People acting like their LS mate will be giving these things away LOL. They might sell to the LS at a discount but few will give away Mils of gil. In before "My friends give me stuff for free" welcome to the exception not the rule.

Depends on your friends. I give sh!t to my friends all the time, and they give me their sh!t in return. It's called you karma, you help people and eventually when your in a tight spot they'll help you. Also means you need to have decent character judgement to spot the arseholes who never pay their dues.
