So it sounds like the ticketing system is useless for pick-up groups because there's no way to enforce who is able to lot said ticket once it enters the treasure pool. Killer.
What happens if you drop from the ally and pt up with the person you wish to give the ticket to? Is that the only way to ensure 100% that it goes to the right person?
Do the devs not realize people who already have the body drop from a desired NM will very likely not waste any more stones on them?
Also can't wait for all the posts complaining how people only want COR/BRD/WHM + Emp 2hand DDs only for VW when that update hits since the strategy will turn from partial zerg while looking for procs, to just full-out zerg from the start, using enfeebling items to stagger when required.

The incentive to use stones is the biggest problem, yeah. I can think of a few ways I can get people in my LS to use stones to help out the person looking for the item tickets (i.e., DKP bonuses), but this system is definitely not suited to PUGs because you generally would not join a PUG unless you wanted the item yourself.
Tickets really should just be based off the mob and not the item, I think my 30+ Lux Pugio is equal ot a Coruscanti.
Also since final Void watch doesn't use rift will the weakness items be unusable there?
Read. It's even in bold for you.
This system just seems odd to me. Why should I be rewarded with 1/3 of an item because someone in my alliance currently has it (and just got it in their box)? It would be beneficial to find as many people with the item to come with you now.
I'm not complaining; it's better than nothing. Just seems like a really odd way of rewarding players. The nyzul route makes more sense with KIs per kill to turn in for the item of your choice. Why not do the same for VW?

Initially, we were considering making tickets ex and placed in the treasure pool, but if this was implemented, people would be less likely to go back to VWs they have already have the gear from making it harder for those who have not obtained the gear yet to make groups. This way even a seasoned verteran will always have a reason to repeat VW.

Ironic that when i was young i never had enough video games but now i have too many and not enough time to play them.
And now, crawling on five arm-like appendages from that nightmare you keep having about your dead fiance and Robin Williams, here's the Voidwatch Ticket System!
Treading stone-faced from the remains of a burnt house to inform you that everyone you love died painfully in the flames rather than just peacefully passing out from smoke inhalation, it's the Voidwatch Ticket System!
Lurking in the public camping grounds near your house and often coming around to watch you pee, that's the Voidwatch Ticket System!
