Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

How many people would seriously consider buying tickets at significantly higher prices though? Price rises, fewer people buy, you have tickets in circulation but they're not selling, prices drop.

Gil may be easy to come by these days but I have better things to do than throw it at an item I may not even complete.

Even so it's still unreasonable to expect the tickets to effectively net negative gil in profit and I hadn't even mentioned the 100k a stack Rubicund prices per run in the off chance GG had already calculated that in. As is stands there is no motivation to participate for a body ticket even at 2~3 mil a ticket simply because a better use of time would be do just about anything else down to farming geodes. Even worse is that the system SE gave us is so mind bogglingly retarded that it actually encourages people whom might have helped for the lesser drops to just buy a cheap ticket instead since a little voiddust can probably pay for the items.
To expect the prices to get lower relies on an expectation of human stupidity and as dumb as other players can be they still have the intelligence to go do better stuff when the inequity is pointed out.
Plus is doing a fight with the people trying to make gil that are too stupid to realize they're losing gil participating even if they get the "drop" really something you'd trust?
