    So is it saying that people that already have the gear need to be "ticketed" so the can pass the item to the treasure pool or is it saying that tickets are drops automatically are added to the party's treasure pool?
    Can you chose to not add your ticket to the pool?

    This ticket system is fundamentally broken.

    Let's say I'm collecting tickets for a mextli harness for some reason. I'm 2/3 on tickets, and finally the harness shows up in my box. Now I'm stuck with these 2 tickets I can't give to anyone else, and they are essentially wasted. Why would you implement a system like this? Nobody wants this.

    Can't please everyone. I think the proposed system is a welcome idea. Typically when doing 4 pops of any vw mob, usually at least 1 person gets the coveted item (or already has it), I'd much rather fight Akvan a dozen times knowing it's likely that I could obtain the body piece, rather than about 50 or 60 (I've lost count) and still never gotten it.

    If everyone was walking around with all the gear from VW it wouldn't seem as special imo.

    If you think you're going to see 3 tickets hit the loot pool in 12 akvans you're out of your mind. The issue with the system is that people don't do VWNMs that they don't need items from. There's pretty much no reaosn for them to. So why would people even be in the alliance that are capable of getting tickets unless they got it earlier in the same run?

    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.

    Noone will complain because the old system is retarded. Also I beat all the lower tiers with 6 already.

    It's more than we had before, so hopefully it will work out better than we all know it will.
