    Sellable tickets do not exclude giving them to friends at no cost or doing VW to help others. It allows tickets to be sold or given away even if the person gathering tickets gets the item before collecting 3 tickets. It provides an incentive for people to use voidstones even if they have the body already, and may get more participation in the event because the tickets are sellable.

    Exclusive tickets do notprevent selling the tickets to other people in the group, and do not ensure that the desired person will receive the ticket (barring the "drop party" workaround). It prevents tickets being used if the person gathering tickets gets the item again.


    Example:
    Hey, this guy is shouting for Celaeno. I have the body already, so I'll use AN to buy some 25-30k voiddusts to get a chance at 10k mirrors and 2-5k in miscellaneous drops. If I get a ticket, I'll just give it away to a complete stranger out of the goodness of my heart. Oh wait, I could just put the dust on the AH and make 30k right away. No. The person shouting will have to put a price that they will PAY FOR THE TICKETS in order to get people to join.

    Sadly now that you say it, that does seem extremely likely to happen, people making price reqs to tickets upon shout... In any case this system is all kinds of messed up, if nothing else you can have people shouting they will buy tickets now, or people shouting to sell the tickets if they drop when doing large numbers with your ls, it will not stop selling anymore than current R/EX items.

    My disappointment in myself for thinking this would help to fix my problems with VW, I was such a fool...
