Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

[Hextitan]

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!!!!!!

480 isn't a lot. Especially if you have several well geared jobs.

For the sake of argument let's say 480 is enough. There is still no reason to choke your inventory with one of each drop that you don't want, when SE could easily make that one drop = one Ticket. It makes zero sense the way they're setting it up.

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 don't think I ever "misunderstood" the system. I knew they weren't planning to hand over the items. I think the system is fine and is certainly better then what we have. What does concern me is by making one ticket per item its basically condeming any player to x2 off all VW drops they ever acquire. Unmulable, Undroppable, Unstorable (if they ever do) otherwise players can't take advantage of the ticket system. I'm glad that even an unlucky person can get the harder to get items. (they drop more then people seem to think, unfortunatly never to those in need) But, I frankly terrified what this implys for my already suffering inventory (I have several R/X VW drops that ill never toss do to the shear fear of never seeing it again, more importantly I've resorted to a mule to store it due to the volume of drops x1-3 for nearly every VWNM. Not only will I have to move it all back but, ill also have to maintain the ticket space too. more or less -2 inventory per if i plan to make use of the system.)

tickets will probably be mulable as well, seeing as how you can mule AF3+1/2 items

Hey guys, Nynja doesn't have inventory issues.

Thanks, Those are just the jobs worth mentioning, I do indeed have more than 4 jobs, though on those 4 jobs, MNK PLD WHM and BLM. They all 4 have A LOT of situational gear, paladin especially. And no I don't nuke in Maleficous so I have staves, enfeeb sets, idle gear, aspir/drain sets, etc. and that's not even getting into my WHM gear. Sure, I only FOCUS on four of my jobs but I also have Ninja and Dancer geared as well (not near to the level of those other four) but 480 is nothing if you are going to take your jobs SERIOUSLY. Yes, I have some spare room around, but not much, and I'm leveling a few more jobs yet, and I'm posting concearns based on EVERYONE AS A WHOLE.

80/80 safe
64/74 storage
80/80 locker
78/80 satchel
71/80 sack
68/80 inventory

I dont store relic-1, I havent muled off WoE coins, unfinished AF3+1 papers or AF3+2 stones. I do take advantage of porter moogles. I regularly play THF BLU RNG NIN PLD...umad?


seriously, the complaint of "wah I cant waste 5 inventory to hold onto some exceptionally rare gear that I wont use" (I'm sorry, how narrow does your job selection have to be if you have 0 use for mekira/toci/heka's?) is dumb, really, really, dumb.

OK, you enjoy spending a half an hour muling/portering/npcing/moogling every time you job change. Congratulations. Most people don't. You have two options. You are the lame who doesn't gear his jobs well, or you are the lame who spends forever changing gear. Which one do you want to be?

I vote for a 3rd option: where they make less situational / useless crap for people to carry, and add more inventory while their at it.

Takes you a half hour to pull gear off a porter moogle? You doing it wrong son

Not sure what I'd be mad about, you're the one losing your @#@% about people with full inventory. You also seem to believe that there are only 5 pieces of gear that drop from VW that people are clamoring for. In order to be able to help anyone get drops via tickets, you'd have to hold onto a hell of a lot more than 5 items (most of which you'd have no use for). The proposed system is pretty horrible from design standpoint. It's embarrassingly clunky, not streamlined, and does very little to address the horrible loot system of VW.
