Aetheryte Ticket - Useless

[Rubieus]

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.

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.
