Aetheryte Ticket - Useless

[Rubieus]

Worst veteran reward yet at the 1 year mark and we're entitled for called it an incredibly poor choice.

Marketing loves players like you.

Worst free stuff yet. I bet you're the kind of person who gets upset that you got a black Iphone 5s for your birthday instead of a white one huh?

Missing the point?

The message was not directed towards anyone in particular, if you felt that it meant something to you than take it as it is. A statement. Regardless of whether or not vanity items are your bag. I was directing my comment to players who are upset because they didn't like their free stuff, and that they would rather have this other thing instead. It's free. Complaining only discourages more free stuff.

You may call it an incentive, or a perk but I bought it because I wanted to show my support for the game. I would pay for a years subscription because i want to show support. I paid for over a year for FFXI, never asking anything in return except for the game for which i initially paid for. Why should I be unhappy if they give me anything that is essentially, free.

Hey guys, why does no one acknowledge the Odin minion.... You know, that baller minion that is... You know... Pretty Damn special... I'm happy with that. That's my "special" item. The tickets are just extra

and a crappy extra with a slap in the face. Lets review veteran reward.

30 days : minion + fantasia
60 days: minion + fashion clothes
90 days: minion + mount
180 days: minion + barding
270 days : minion + mount
360 days: minion + 50 ticket (around 20k) <----------- this one is the worst extra of them all
450 days: minion + barding

Worst? Because of the "low" value? Maybe you're one of the people with plenty of millions of gil to waste and it's useless to you, but there are those of us that struggle to keep our gil wallet from sinking into the red.
Or is it "worst" because it's something that will eventually disappear if used while minions and barding and mounts and fashion clothes stay?

1 year of paid subscription is free. Sure thing. I would rather rewards stay the hell out of the economy entirely. That includes the security token bonus.

Great assumption and ad hominem on your part.

if you simply do DFR (all 4 of them) and do your beastmen quest that is 16 -18k/day already and you got 400 philo tome for tome mats that sell for 2k/each on my server atm, what is your problem from keep your gil away from red ?

edit: oh yeah forget to mention that I do farm TH with peister map 2 time/week with 2 map each. With 6 ppl I can get to 30k depend on how many gil drop. So that 20k free teleport is the worst according to me

If you are going to start using latin words to accentuate your arguments, start by taking a bit of time to organize your words. I never said one year of subscription is free. The gifts given to you for doing so is free, as a thank you for subscribing for this length of time. Stop feeling cheated because the item in question isn't something you feel is worth it. I will agree with you that anything that affects economy usually isn't a good thing, but for the 1.0 players who got completely obliterated by the loss of their hard work (namely, aetherytes and Van Darnus) that this little bit of something is better than nothing.



Though I am starting to wonder what the use is, people will always complain. If they gave out a fantasia potion instead of tickets, why do we only get 1? Why isn't it this or that. We want , we want, we want. It's ungrateful and embarrassing.. So I am leaving this thread behind.

To the Devs, thanks. I know you mean well, and appreciate it.

There's a difference between "the thought that counts" gift and to "tipping a waiter a penny" which is insulting.

I don't really care for any of these rewards but I can see why people are upset. When the reward is going to take up inventory space, and is essentially giving away a negligible amount of gil, then it isn't really thoughtful at all. 20k might seem like a decent sum of gil, but consider the player subscribed over 360 days. Assuming the player didn't just pay a full yearly subscription up front, and have actually played at least 180 days, then gil shouldn't be much of an issue at that point.

The tickets would have been more useful for early players to get around the world for the main story quest, but that's just my opinion on it.

SE making friends, as usual haha.


It's not that they have to give us something. In fact, give something like that it's worst that don't give anything.

Let's say that you save the life of someone, puttin yours in risk to do that. If after that he says "Thank you, really thank you", that's totally ok. If he says "Thank you, really thank you, take those 20 dollars for saving me".... Woud you think that 20 dollars are a nice extra or woud like to punch him in the face?

It's more or less the same. For one year of subscription, either give only vanity, or if is some kind of non-vanity it has to be...Decent. Or players will feel that they're being insulted.

I woud give people 1 fantasia for each 3 months. Vanity, lot's of players ask for it, and have sense to let player changue his appearence more as more time pass.
