    The development team has been well aware of all of your frustrations when you friend hears you receive an item that they have been after for some time, but you are unable to pass it to them and have no choice but to toss it.

    They have been looking into adjustments to the reward system extremely carefully to preserve the benefit of each person receiving a personal reward when participating, instead of having to lot against others. As a result, they are thinking about implementing the below type of system.

    • 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.


    The development team feels that this will not destroy the meaning of having personal rewards, and though the drop rate balance will not be changed, even if you continue to have bad luck obtaining the item you wish, by collecting the tickets from your friends you will eventually be able to obtain the item.

    Since there are a lot of rewards items, meaning a large amount of tickets to be created, we will start off by looking into implementing the hard to get items first. Please understand that it will take some time before this is all implemented.

    This is a GREAT idea! This will make voidwatch considerably less discouraging for a lot of people.

    Just one thing: Sometimes people do not want the particular item at all, but someone else in the group does. I'd rather just have the ticket rather than have to take the item and have it rot in my inventory so that I can obtain tickets in the future.
