Aetheryte Ticket - Useless

[RuleSigea]

I think the heart of the argument here isn't the fact that we are getting something for free, but that what we are getting can not be used to show others our commitment to the game. When someone is walking around with a behemoth minion then you know that the person has the CE. A Cait Sith minion shows a person who pre-ordered the game and so on. I feel that all other vanity rewards (minions, mounts, barding) provide variety and personalization to individuals and the world. Giving us a few free teleports that will either sit in inventory or disappear over time compared to the visual rewards we have been getting is a let down in my opinion. The reward for using a security token didn't help this sentiment either.

I actually never wanted that.
I wanted to win Babémoth from the Behemoth fight.

First of all, you can already obtain multiple vanity items from defeating behemoth, so I don't know what your point is.

All my example was showing is that all rewards to this point have been something tangible, and at what would appear to be a milestone of the game to many, comes a relatively inexpensive consumable with no tangible value. The inconsistency alone is enough to make people say "huh?!"

Oh it's nothing big. I'm just offhandedly saying I would have rather won it than bought it.

That's fine, but it completely avoids the point I brought up, which is every veteran reward thus far has been vanity and ultimately permanent. I guess the greater question everyone is dieing to know is...Why?

Why ask why, they could just give you nothing. I just dont get people these days. lol

Did you read nothing else i wrote? I'm not asking why in an ungrateful way. I appreciate anything. I'm asking why the sudden switch for a 360 day reward, then right back to the normal vanity item rewards for 450 days. You mock and laugh as if everyone on this forum is stupid or greedy. We are (or I am) simply questioning an anomaly.

I think the intention was to be something special and different.
They just misjudged the value we would have on it. Also, the Software Token promo being a better reward throws a wrench in the works. Really they should have stuck with the vanity.
