    Riddle me this Tinu, How exactly would this improve anything if the only thing my 6 Chakrams could turn into was another Chakram? So i can give my friend a Chakram? Unless he's been living in a hole he probably has 8 Chakram tokens himself too.

    Its not to say I'm not ecstatic about this update, Its just if its implemented wrongly, It will literally change very little to absolutely nothing.

    How often would you imagine someone with Coruscanti gets a second Coruscanti, What are the odds he's even continuing to fight Qilin after obtaining his first? I'm just trying to point out, People have the right to be skeptical, when if implemented incorrectly, this could change absolutely nothing.

    Don't mistake cautiousness for ungratefulness amongst some of these replies. True, Some people here really are just whining because they want 100% Drops, but few of us are just cautious because of the wording.

    Love the signature,

    In my previous post I touched on possiblities for this (if you hadn't read yet due to typing yours or something).

    I can see it just taking more tickets of a lesser item to get a higher item.

    Example: 20 Chakrams or 20 Headbands or 20 Mantis Eye = 1 Body


    Also I believe that tiers will be linked

    Example:

    Akvan / Kaggen / Pil's Bodies will all = the same ticket type.


    (this part I didn't really touch on) Also let's say you're spamming t6 to upgrade empys and you start getting multiplie ra/ex drops from those, considering they're all "higher" level gear you could in theorey turn those ra/ex items into lower ranking gear if you so desired.

    Example: Ogier's Surcoat x6 = Toci's Harness or whatever lower item you're after.


    These are just my thoughts on how things will work.... or how they should work... we'll see what happens eh?

    See, that was my original idea/thought too. (I posted it here in this thread somewhere...)

    That tickets may work in a "Tier" System, I.E

    Eye = Tier 1
    Belt = Tier 2
    Body = Tier 3

    And You get a "Tier 1 Ticket" for every Chakram, Only exchangeable for other Tier 1 tickets (Chakram, Gerra's Staff, Etc). Still, Without a way to exchange the lower tickets for higher tier tickets, It would change very little. I don't actually know anyone who's gotten 2 bodies. I know it happens, But quite rarely, Double for people getting Borealis or Coruscanti twice. Obtaining 6 Coruscanti Tickets, If the only way to get one was from a Owner getting a duplicate, Would be years of effort, Probably better spent spamming Qilins >_>

    Still, I say, It is in improvement, But as the rest of my previous post states, If implemented incorrectly, It'll be like going from 1%, to 1.1%. While an improvement, It'd be a lot of wasting development time and potential for something negligible in usefulness.
