Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

So nice to see a company having to merge with other companies every 10 years or so because they run the brands into the ground.

Whiteknight all you want to when you are left with a game thayt stops getting new content you will have to blame SE or will you follow Tanaka that blame the players for not seeing his great vision.

Terrible !

The only reason I have an issue with this is if you want to help someone else obtain an item, it requires that you keep an unwanted item in your inventory/storage/whatever, taking up space, in order to obtain the exchange tickets.

We should be able to just pass on ever obtaining the item at all and be able to take the ticket instead.

Hey everyone.

I followed up with the development team to get an answer as to whether or not you need to already possess the rare/ex item to obtain a ticket. They said that you will in fact need to have the item in your possession and they are not planning to make it so you can give a ticket to someone else when you could obtain the actual item.

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!

This hasn't even been implemented yet and people are complaining. I've never seen a bunch of people on a forum in all my Internet days with such a jive. They didn't have to change a thing and people would still keep playing it. Why? XI is still better than 99% of MMOs.

Sometimes I feel like the boards are a bad idea completely. The vast majority of people, at least on my server, avoid this forum because of all the negativity posted by a dozen or so same people. This vast majority also does not share the same views at all. This same group whined hard about the new WS, but it turned out the new WS were mostly pretty good and better than what's already there...

I think this system will just cause inventory issues for whoever is lucky (or unlucky?) enough to always get body drops such that they're constantly dropping them. Especially since it seems it will be 1 type of card per item. I've personally never gotten a VW body to drop, even a crappy one I'd never use, but I only do VW 3 days out of the week.

I won't complain about this change since it likely will never affect me, but it seems horribly over complicated for what miniscule benefit it gives.

Anewie, plz don't b too harsh on them ^^ They just dont c Tanaka-sans vision for our FFXI. plz every1 just give some time n u will realize how great this game is and will b ^^

I blame this anger on poor communication and overactive imaginations. People thought they were getting a pizza based on the shape of the box and when they opened it there was a frizbee inside. Nothing wrong with frizbees as long you weren't already salivating over the thought of a pizza.

The only downside I see to this is that if someone only want's faijin boots or something similar they can just buy them now instead of participating in the fights but at least the Coru and Toci spammers can sell the lower tier items that they get bombarded with while not getting what they want. MORE CONSOLATION PRIZES!!!

Oh well, Theres always a chance the may re-evaluate it.

Conversation? not in my thread

They're listening, They just need a little more of a push. I'm not asking to be handed the items, But a realistic goal could be nice...
