Voidwatch Final Chapter

Well one of the reasons they thought this system was a compromise is what you just outlined in your post of 11:26AM above. You would have gotten tickets in that scenario. But yeah, it's a flawed system. It assumes people will use stones in repeat runs. I'd use some stones to help out LS mates in repeat runs since I accrue a lot more stones than I end up using in a week. I have gotten such items like Mekira Meikogai and Ace's Mail even though I have no use for them, but I saved them so I could get tickets for LS mates in the future. But yeah, your random PUG won't operate by the same benevolent principles, since you usually wouldn't join a PUG unless you needed the item to begin with.

EDIT: I think they also assume you would use stones for one of the other rationales you said, to sell the tickets for profit. Of course, that's like playing the 1% RNG lottery.
