Aetheryte Ticket - Useless

[Gramul]

50s better than 1 at least.
And far more balanced than "free forever".

Still, I think they should keep these rewards aesthetic from now on.

[NamudNevets]

Should be same as One-time password bonus.

"In-Game Bonus for One-Time Password Users

As of patch 2.2, when logged into the game with a one-time password, you will have the option to designate one aetheryte of your choice as a free destination. Teleporting to your free destination will incur no gil fee. Moreover, you may change your free destination as many times as desired." So another free port slot open I think. (2 free with Vet and OTP)

Except for the fact that "Security Token" users (One-Time Password Users) ARE getting free Teleports forever.

So for $11 you can get free Teleports forever. That's a heck of a lot easier / cheaper to obtain then subscribing for 12 months. If Security token users are getting this I don't see why a one year subscription shouldn't get this either.

You get 1 free teleport destination so long as your security token password is set for that as the bonus. If you change it you lose the teleport. If you cancel the token, you lose the teleport. If you lose the token, cause its a physical item and is bound to be lost, you have to buy another one to reset your second home teleport.

The Security token is a second home teleport. Not necessarily better than the tickets as you have to use and maintain the security token. If you are bad at keeping extra items on hand, then you essentially waste more money as you already have to pay the 15/month and an additional 11 for the token. You end up costing more by the time you get to your 1 year anniversary.

They are both nice, but I can see them discontinuing the Token at some point in the future. The Second home teleport is a marketing scheme simply to get people to buy the add-on security token.

Don't even know if these will work with party teleports. You could still end up paying when you party teleport around despite having the free teleport items or having the second home teleport being selected for the group teleport.

With no Cooldown i might add

Where did you read that?

[Galactimus]

Where did you read that?

Um, it seems heavily implied that there won't be a cooldown. "..you will have the option to designate one aetheryte of your choice as a free destination. Teleporting to your free destination will incur no gil fee." You open up the Teleport menu, select your free destination, and it teleports you there for 0gil. It doesn't say "Use the Return spell." And I seriously doubt they'd give us a second Return spell with no cooldown.

It's like registering a "Favorite Destination (50% reduced cost)" only this one will be a 100% Reduced Cost.

Ah.
Yeah I don't use teleports too often so I forgot it doesn't have a cooldown unlike return. Thanks.

the app for a software token is free, there's no ploy here to sell tokens.

Didn't you know? Only millionaires can afford smartphones.

There was a thread made around launch with instructions on how to make the app work on a computer so if a smartphone or physical token is that much of a financial impossibility, there's your alternative.
