    Why would they make tickets sellable is beyond me. Should be turn in tickets from your own personal chests, do them enough and you can buy your own loot. ie if you got 6 gorgets you would have 6 tickets you can exchange for loot. Having the tickets be sellable would defeat the purpose of the personal loot system.

    Um, Probably because They're also trying to solve the "I got this Item, But my friend needs it" issue.

    Now if you get an Item your friend needs, and you already own, You can give them the ticket. Is the concept.

    They're not so much "Making it sellable" as they are making it Trade-able. Sellable is just a side effect of that in my eyes :X

    How is getting something that you can sell from your personal loot box not getting personal loot?

    I think you are looking at it the wrong way. Sell is just a fancy term for trading for currency. All currency is, (both game and real) is a standardized bartering system. You trade an item you have multiple of or don't want for currency which in turn is traded for the item you desire. (without having to go through Zelda style trade sequences) So, you are getting personal loot you are just converting it into a form which can be used to obtain other items. In the end currency doesn't really have a purpose (it does you no good in currency form) its not until you buy (trade) a second time that something of value is obtained. Item -> ticket -> currency -> Ticket or other item the player deems to have value.
