Also, to clarify the original post; each piece of gear will have their own ticket (and I've amended the original post for clarity). I've also seen questions about "will this apply to Heavy Metal Plates, too?" and the answer is no, this is currently planned for equipment pieces only.
I speak for virtually everyone when I say this is a HUGE disappointment, and thank you SE for lifting us up a little, only to turn around and crush what little hope you had just built up. This isn't directed at camate, since I know he's just the messenger, but I feel that SE has really lost touch with the playerbase and their own game as a whole. With so many VW drops, MOST of these tickets will just end up getting tossed due to inventory issues anyway. Honestly, development in creating 200-300 new "tickets" is just a complete waste of time that could be spent on something useful... wait, I shouldnt have said that... MORE NERFS INCOMING!
