Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

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

And? If it's everybody(the majority) wants easy mode that we should get easy mode, if everyone wants gear that shoots glitter our of our asses then we should get that. that's how it works(or at least should), lets not forget here the dev team works for us.

I like a hardy challenge myself, but this so much.

The Dev team seems infinitely more concerned with maintaining what they consider to be the integrity of the game than whether or not the players actually have fun playing it. This is probably the single biggest design mistake they've been rolling with for all this time. The MMO market has evolved, people don't need to put up with that shit any more.

Difficulty? I'm all for that. Give me difficulty. Tedium is not difficulty. Shitty 0.5% drop rates are not difficulty. They are annoyances. Spend more time making your game interesting and fun to play and less time worrying about how horrible it would be if someone actually obtained the items you designed in a reasonable timeframe.

You just gave somebody an idea for the glow effect of equipment obtained from the highest tier of Voidwatch.

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.

Unacceptable.

definitely unacceptable

I'm saying most of those 100 pieces of r/e gear wouldn't be worth holding on to for the chance at getting a ticket because no one want's a genesis shield ticket and the ones that are worth holding on to won't be dropped by most people anyway. At least not by people who have enough jobs leveled to be concerned with inventory. It might be moderately annoying but it's worth the trouble to have a shot at a Toci's slip that you could probably sell for 10mil. I just don't feel like it's that big of a deal.

I completely agree with this. I have not counted the exact number of r/ex drops in VW (the first chapter had very few), but only a handful are items that people actually want these days. Who the hell would get a Sceamol Band ticket? A Houyi's Gorget ticket? I would venture to say there are only 15-20 drops people care about enough to spam a VWNM. This system, while not exactly what we wanted, still gives you quite the benefit for retaining those items, because you can get a ticket for something like Toci's that you can give to your LS mates or sell for 10 mill.

In any event, I expect them to make these easier to store so you aren't wasting inventory slots.

My head is exploding with these idiotic changes so is this how the devs intend on killing this game with illogical idiotic choices with the pretense at balance????

I'm actually delighted by SE's proposal, but I dont like the idea of bazaaring tickets. I have seen enough ppl RMT their way into good gear and would be just as happy if VW loot was immune to that practice!

And for the record, The porter moogle is a giant pain in the ass. Anyone who says that a system of 10+ tickets with specific gear limitations being traded to a moogle who is not in you mog house (probably not even in the same zone as your HP) is convenient or fast is a flat out liar. But that's neither here nor there.

So again: Let me get this straight.... you have lots of space, but you want to have less? Why?

So the porter moogle is a hinderance and a pain in the ass. Congratulations, you're the first person who dislikes the porter moogles.

Some people just cant be pleased. I bet if your girlfriend (LOL, ok if you had a girlfriend) said she wants to invite one of her lady friends over for a 3some, you'd be disgusted because you'd have to bother taking care of 2 girls instead of one and its just too much effort.
