Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

A step in the right direction, but the following makes me apprehensive.

Howdy![*]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)

Does this mean that in order to get a ticket, we will have to hold onto items we don't need or want?

For example, if I get a body piece that I will never ever use, I can't give it away, but if I put it in my mog safe then the next time I get one in my chest it will provide me with a ticket instead. However, if my inventory space is limited and I can't afford to hold onto a body piece I'm never going to use, I will simply keep tossing them as I get them and receive no benefit at all from this proposed change to the loot system.

This also fails to fix the problem of "I want to give that cool item to my friend so that they can use it".

Do you use your storage, probably not...nows a good time to make use of it.

And why would you toss something with a .05% drop rate that falls to you?

you can give your friend the ticket? sure this isn't ideal, but it is WAY fucking better than the way it works now.

The way I'm reading it right now it sounds like I have to get the first item and wait on a second to drop before I can get a ticket that can be traded. If someone's tight on inventory space they aren't going to hang onto something they don't intend to use, or they'll just send it to a mule, which puts them right back at square one of getting the drop they don't need instead of a ticket. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it, but it sounds like the new system would be an improvement, but still needs work. I just don't want to see a half-hearted effort instead of a proper follow-through.

Oy gevalt. Even if this IS the case, and Camate can speak to that better than me, all this means is.....if you are spamming Akvan hundreds of times for Heka's Kalasiris, you make room for Omphalos Bullet or Sceamol Band. If you can't afford TWO inventory spaces, at BEST you likely don't even have room for Cells and at WORST you are not removing everything from the chest and therefore forcing everyone in your ally to wait five minutes for Rift repop.
