Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[wish12oz]

Oh cool, we're back to calling the devs out of touch with the players and the game and what they should be doing, that didnt take long. What was it... 1 day?

[Nala]

the way the phrased the original post i was kinda thinking it would be individual tickets per item /lesigh too bad i was right... even still this is a step in better direction.......

[Nynja]

hows it a waste of resources...? Isnt this better than whats available, unless you like watching your whm mule get their fourth kalarsis while youre still looking for yours? Obv its not what was expected, with the misleading "item of your choice". But seriously, anyone stunned by actually having to own the R-E item to get a ticket should go back to grade 1 english:

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)

how the hell do you misinterpret that as "If you get a r-e item, you can pull a ticket instead of the r-e item" ?!?!?!?! jesus christ, no wonder SE ignores you guys

having said that, I think 5-6 might be a bit high...thats pretty much 5-6 VERY RARE bodies falling to people who already own it...no? how many tocis harnesses are created daily? Mekiroagis? PIl and Kaggen are pretty heavily spammed

Simplicity is never the strongest suit from FFXI developers. It's like they have no clue when it comes to keep things simple and easy. By simply making the body pieces require more tickets will solve a lot of problem. Also if you get a duplicate of the body piece, you receive more tickets in return, easy, simple - but no, everything has to be so damn complicated. Also they are very desperate to stretch the contents so thin with very little efforts. I was going to buy FFXIII-2 but then again this and the nerf on beast master reminded me to not support SE effort on any type of the products. Thanks for making me a believer!!

Everybody wants an "Easy" button. Sit in Jeuno chatting and being handed all teh gilz.

Its not exactly that lol.

They making it so Blue and red are capped at start of fight so you dont need to proc-- thats wonderful makes for faster killing.

They said they dont like us Spamming temps so instead AoE will do alot less damage to everyone cept for main target-- again thats wonderful makes for less time recovering and faster killing.

Now they give us tickets to sell/trade but only if we already have the item-- Sounds nice.

But now I'm going to have to spam VWNMs that the only strat is throw the DDs on and kill as fast as you can, Procs dont matter anymore so why hunt for all of them, just Max DD and afew whms and after Another 200 of the same mob you dont have your item but people are selling tickets for it for 10 mil a pop. so just spend about 40 mil and you can get your item you worked so hard for

I think the main issues with this are:

1) We only have so much inventory, if we get an item we're after theres no incentive to continue spamming the same one over and over. So no tickets into circulation.

2) We get an item we'll never use and it gets shipped to a mule (Due to only having so much inventory) and the next time said item drops we'll be stuck with it again and end up just /tossing it for the inventory space.

The only ones I really see people spamming much of PAST recieving an item they're after is T3 Zilarts (HMP Pouches) as well as T6 for Rift----- items.

Personally, I like the idea of a VW storage NPC and trading duplicates to it will give you your ticket, that way you aren't blowing inventory on items you're never going to use. The tickets can then be muled/given to a friend/sold/used.

jesus fkn christ, you have FOUR HUNDRED AND EIGHTY available inventory slots on your character, on top of porter moogles, on top of being able to mule your incomplete AF3 seals and +2 items. Theres NO WAY youre maxing out unless youre not using whats available to you at all, and to top it off, YOU HAVE FOUR JOBS!!!!!!

[Hextitan]

So you need to own at least one of the item before you can turn the next drop into a Ticket? So essentially I'd need to own one Coruscanti before I could turn the next one into a Ticket to give to an LS mate?

Is that right? Because that's retarded. That's an inventory nightmare.

It's amazing how you can take a good idea and completely ruin it, for no logical reason.

He might have four jobs but a lot of people have plenty more. Let's not start going Tsuki in here and nuking in Maleficus with 50 slots on Red mage. It's a legitimate general complaint, especially for the more perfectionist types.

Yep I called it. No surprise here, il just ignore logwatch and wait for nyzule or legion.
