Being that this event was for the 3rd Year Anniversary. The prizes should of been amazing! If it was just some normal one month event, then it was great. Just that it is very disappointing for what it represented. 20 prizes of actually 2600+ tickets. Should of been 20 green inferno magics, lol. (Sure GreenGene would of loved that). Nice pin for logging in, nice colors etc. What no triple credits for the day, only comes once in 3 years lol.
For a normal event for a month it is great idea. Like keys and crates. Figured when staff traded the winners they would of removed that ticket number from them as well, so then they could use the same tickets again for a drawing, give others more chances to win more tickets etc. Maybe do a drawing each month at the end for say 50 rare new pins made. Just another thing for people to collect/trade etc at a chance to get the rare pin of the month. Guess could just keep making new color tickets for each month etc. Gold tickets will still hold value since they display there numbers when you wear them. So im sure players will be trying to get certain numbers to wear in a row etc to mean something.
Lots im sure missed the quests. Then sits and keys its all luck. At least the quests are a sure thing but only to those that can be here for them. Playing JC or FW for a certain score amount to get a ticket would be nice. At least then people know its a sure thing if they put some work into it. JC could be 125k total score for 1 ticket, thats about 30mins of game play for 1 ticket. Or push it to 250k for 1 hour ur guaranteed a ticket. One thing it would also get people online at more hours then just quest or host events. Other ways were said by others, like random ticket from npc etc.
Trading of the tickets should be there, other wise you will lose that don't want to gamble etc. Same goes for SITS, they should be trade-able again. Lots don't have the time to ride forever and rather trade for them, and use them there self as it is a gamble. Same goes for pirate keys, those shouldn't expire and should be trade-able. That way it brings back more trading and more interest etc. Think about the new players, someone that has time but has no items, they could hoard SITS, KEYS or TICKETS and trade/sell them and get almost any item they could want. It's the players choice to spend 40k per ticket etc, since it comes down to a gamble like buying a lotto ticket in real life. Of course the odds are much better here for what you pay for the ticket, lol.
Enough said.....
