Voidwatch Final Chapter

[Karbuncle]

Stop holding out for the ticket system, the way they have described it to be implemented is a waste of everyone's time, including theirs.

Also this. Apparently the decided upon system would be:

You have to have 6 Tickets specific to the Item you want to get the item. Only way to Obtain Tickets is by buying them, Or getting said Item a second time.

So instead of going the Logical route, and making 1 Ticket per NM, With Different Values of how many tickets needed for what item, They went the "PANTS ON HEAD" route.

Then again, Captain Mekira here has gotten 3, So i guess He'd be 1/3rd of the way to another body in the ticket system.

Edit: Well Shoot, This was suppose to be an edit.

I can't even wear it. I got a Phasmida Belt on my first run, so the only reason I was doing Kaggen at all was for cruor + a mantis eye.

Also I'd be 1/3 of the way to another Mekira Mekiogai, since getting Mekira a 2nd time would get me a Mekira ticket, etc.

[Raksha]

I'm not holding out much hope for the ticket system personally, but if my current luck with Heka body holds, i'd probably be able to redeem one with tickets long before I get one in a chest.

[Mahoro]

Rak ;; well, once the ticket system gets implemented, I'll do what I said for you: Fill the Akvan ally entirely with people in LS who either have Heka's or need Heka's, so at least we can maximize our chances and make progression.

[Asymptotic]

That's one of the major problems with the ticket system. If I already have all the drops from a NM, why would I do it again when there are other NMs on which I could be using my voidstones/voiddust that drop things that I can either need/want, or drop items that I can sell for profit?

[Mahoro]

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.

[Asymptotic]

The thing is, I could spam Mellonia or Cherufe or something for a much better chance at a payout.

[Mahoro]

Oh I'm not saying it's a great stone:gil ratio, but I can see people with stones coming out of their asses doing it. I know some people in my LS with 200+ stones. I still think the ticket system is flawed for the reasons you said, but either way, tickets WILL enter the system. They'll just be rare.

[Karbuncle]

Problem is, how much would you be willing to pay for a Toci's Harness? Or Mekira Body? needing 6 Tickets, of which one will be entering the system about as often as a Sagasinger, their prices won't be cheap.

Would you pay 60mil for a Toci's? 30mil? The Rarity of a Ticket for a high-end Item... Its going to make any of these items incredibly hard to come by, and again. needing 6 is absolutely dumb. theres no reason for the number to be so high, Sure, Maybe for Mantis Eyes, But for a Mekira/Toci's/Coruscanti/etc to need 6 Duplicates drop to someone who already has it? Its asinine to even think thats reasonable.

At most it should be 2. I can't see why something so rare can't go on a 1 to 1 Trade basis... I don't even know. :|

Thinking about the ticket system again and its glorious fail is making me upset.

[Asymptotic]

It's even worse that people keep asking about it. Everytime someone asks about the bloody ticket system and when it's going to be implemented, i just want to reach into the computer and slap them.
