360 Day Veteran Reward - Aetheryte Ticket

[SLeonhart]

You are paying for a sub for access, not the vet rewards. The deal you are referring to is a free addon such as rims to the car or some other package(vet rewards), and paying full MSRP would be equivalent to paying the full price on the sub.

Right, ok, let's run with your car analogy.

You've just bought a new car and you're told you've come at a good time because there's a special offer on and you're going to get some "free", "special" alloy wheels as an extra at no additional cost. They bring the wheels out - They suck. They're awful and you'd rather have the original trims.

As a customer purchasing a car - Are you genuinely saying you wouldn't ask for an alternative set of alloy wheels - if the ones on offer were (in your opinion), terrible? Or would it just be terribly rude to refuse the awful alloys, because they're "free"?

It seems to me that we have a split between the savvy consumers amongst us and the "let's just get what we're given" lot.

Not really my analogy, but let's run with it... Then don't use the tickets and discard them? I guess it would be more pertinent to tell SE to keep their tickets and you will stick to just the minion? Sure you can ask, but the whole point of the special offer is the crap wheels. Sure you can decline the wheels(special offer), but to think that you deserve better wheels is asinine. At the same time, this isn't all inclusive, you might ask and they say we have these other wheels. But the special offer is a specific set of wheels. It's not rude to refuse the wheels. It's rude to say this isn't good enough for me bring forth better wheels.

EDIT: To reiterate, my stance on these tickets is that it is an odd choice for a vet reward for 360 days. Of course there are other things it could be, but it's free, and comes with the access I am paying for. I pay to play a game, not for some rewards that I may very likely never use more than a couple times. Honestly, I will probably use the 50 free tickets more than I ever use any other vet reward. Definitely not wearing the swimsuit. The fantasia, not needed. If I could sell it I would. I would probably give it away if I could. Don't find the Ahriman mount that awesome. YMMV of course.

PS ahhh, post limits. A nice 360 reward is the removal of post limits lmao
