Aetheryte Ticket - Useless

[acheronnos]

I'm really upset and disappointed on SE, when they plan to give these kind of reward to people thats paid their game for 1 year, i do believe a lot of people really disappointed with the reward same as me, for me there is no point of getting those 50 tickets free teleports its just useless for me, i just wants SE to give people thats paid their game for 1 year with something much better something to show I love this game and i paid 1 year

50 free teleports and a sweet lil Odin minion? I'm down. no Q.Q from me!

I think it's a fine reward but perhaps it should have been swapped with another one since 360 days is quite a milestone, for example the Fantasia would have been a better choice for a 360 day and the tickets for 30 day, but I understand they probably wanted new players to have the Fantasia option sooner so I can respect that. But yes, as a perk it's nice, as a 360 day perk a little underwhelming

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 not that 50 free teleports is a bad reward. It's just a bad 1 year reward. It would be all kinds of amazing as the 1 month reward however, as it's new players who will benefit the most, not old ones.

MurakumoMillennium got more or less of what I was getting at. There's an appropriate gift for certain situations/milestones.
In your analogy, would the good Samaritan really care for the 20 dollars, most likely not. It isn't like they would have the intention of planning to save someone for the monetary reward. They would most likely decline the reward all together. In a way they might find it even belittling a bit even from the offer, the one giving the reward is saying the risk they took is only worth a meal.

It'll be more like going to a friend's housewarming party and presenting said friend with a 10-day commuters train ticket, when they already have a house, a car, and is in financially secured position.
Sure they can use it to save some money, but the gift doesn't fit the situation.

Reminds me of the Parks and Recreation "Ann & Chris" episode, where the gang give Chris a pile of garbage for his farewell gift, and Chris politely accepts it.

To confirm what many of you have read only through Twitter, the 360-day Veteran Reward will grant users fifty (50) consumable Aetheryte Tickets and is optionally used as an item within one's inventory bag when teleporting.

Also, which 17 forum members actually liked that post?!!!

This is a horrible indicator that the devs are quickly becoming out of touch with their own game and community. I don't know who thought that 50 free Aether ports was a good reward for 1 year vets, but show him the door, nao!

Sorry we dont support minorities here that includes pet collectors mount collecters hardcore anything that at the very least 99% of the games playerbase wont use should be scrapped see thousands of other threads to see this is what most of the community agrees on.

The fact that this comment got likes lol


In all seriousness...Like someone said before...you can't base all the complaints on the Forums "most of the community" Because when I'm in game, everyone's always like "Yay mounts" and "Yay free stuff" Then I come to the forums and it's a bunch of nay sayers and complainers.

And that's when it dawned, - there are three types of people on the forums:

The first type accounts for all the complainers, nay sayers, and trolls who just either like to start problems or complain because they want everything NOW or don't like the game, so they come here to tell everyone about it for some reason.The second type are people who love the game, and are here to check for any new Dev posts that might give them some information that isn't in the news portion of the main site or the Dev blog. Because they enjoy the game so much, they want every bit of information they can get. Unfortunately some of these people get tangled up in the hate posts and probably get forum suspensions if they bite back at the trolls. Which I recommend not doing...

The third type are people who are at work and can't play right now and just want to see what's going on or what kind of nonsense is happening in the forum this time.

I fall under the second and third types

But I try my hardest to stay away from the nonsense and just stick to the dev posts. People are just so incredibly rude here - especially to the Dev and community teams of Square Enix. They're human beings, the poor guys (and girls) have to read every message here for moderation...and it must be so very exhausting. So show some respect...to SE and to other players. We're supposed to all be friendly here. Why shouldn't we be? We enjoy games, we enjoy the Final Fantasy franchise, and/or we enjoy MMOs. So for what reason does everyone need to be disrespectful to one another?

If you have some "negative" feedback for the game, then bring it to the support center. Don't bring it here.

I liked that post. Because you have to be kidding me if you think it's useless with our Security Token free teleport. The free teleport works on ONE specified location. It's basically reintroducing the second home point we got used to in 1.0. These free tickets will give you free 50 teleports ANYWHERE you want to go. What's wrong with that? That's not useless! I'll be using them when I need to go somewhere fast but it's across the continent so it's more expensive than the other teleports that are closer.

most of the game is instanced. most people don't have to randomly go places.

50 teleports is less than 20k for most people which you can earn in less than a week of dailies.

the last set of rewards gave 1 minion and 1 mount, this set is 1 minion and expendable items that are not the equivalent of a 5th of a tribal mount.

it is quantifiably worse than the previous set of rewards and there isn't even a sentimental value you can attach to these items cause they are perishable.

Anyone who's complaining about free things are the spoiled children in life... Its free. It's a nice reward. And if you idiots keep it up they just won't give you anything. And honestly, as much as I appreciate them giving us things for being subbed, I hope they take them all away. Why? Because then maybe you people crying will realize not to look a gift horse in the mouth.

I totally agree. All you people, you heard me. You are spoiled children. What should you get for your one year subscription? A spanking! That's right!
Teach all you young-ins that expect to get something for free! My papa always used to say: "If you want something for free, I got my belt right here and I can spank ALL night!"

I think they should do what you said and "take them all away". You log in one day, *BOOM* all your items have been confiscated! And you are locked in a dark room, on a chair facing the corner while wearing a "dunce" cap. The next whole year of playing the game, you'll have to play it just like that! If you dare to stop subscribing to the game, guess what? Police come to your house and make you sit in the corner of your room in real life.... Oh yea, That's what you all deserve!

Be prepared, SE is on to your shenanigans! Operation "Dunce cap" is coming. It is coming very very soon!
