Guild Wars 2

What if you could trade the tons of candy you have in your inventory for jade weapon tickets? This may have already been talked about but I thought I would start something that may get noticed and acted upon. I would be totally willing to trade like 2,000 candies for a single ticket. This would greatly help the problem of people not getting tickets from the chests. Please consider making this happen.

After spending way too much gold and time getting thousands of chests and only getting one ticket, I feel like this would be a good solution.

While that is a nice thought I think the price would have to be much more. I think trading the Zhaitaffy for the 100 Jorbreakers to get the holo wings ended up being 100,000 Zhaitaffy. So for a ticket it would probably be 1,000,000.

2,000 Zhaitaffy really isn’t that much and pretty easy to obtain.

I think it’s clear ArenaNet doesn’t want your “ideas”.
They want you to have a hard time getting a ticket from the regular coffers so that you might buy rich coffers.

I would agree if this was the beginning of the event. However halfway through this would be a slap in the face to us who opened 5,000 (!) coffers for our tickets.
I just hope after the Aetherblade event RNG boxes stop being a thing.

2k zhaitaffy for a ticket? Those cost less then 5Copper on the TP right now, so that would be less than 2 gold for a ticket? Some how I don’t see this happening any time soon, now maybe 200k….

Yeah, but if the candy could buy you ticket skins, they would go up in price on the TP, it’d end up being more like 5-ish gold, I bet.

I would have farmed for those Jorbreakers for a ticket lol, but as people say ANet does actually have to make money somehow.

Lol OP, really you would be willing to give up 2,000 candy for a ticket? Shouldnt it be two at least for that much candy?

On the more serious side, the current RNG box is close to good, last missing detail is each dragon coffer having a jade splinter and 10,000 buy you a ticket. Each rich dragon coffer would have like 500 – 1,000 jade splinters. That way, both people that spend time or spend money have a guaranteed ticket at the end of the rainbow if they dont get lucky, but its gonna need a high amount of time/gold/dollars.

I agree with your idea Mastruq, but would you really want another currency; dungeon tokens, fractal relics, pristine relics, karma, laurels, commendations, gold, and badges.

The OP is right some kind of candy conversion would be nice, just I’d be willing to trade 10x the amount of candy the OP is talking about for 1 skin. 20k candy (20 jorbreakers) actually sounds pretty reasonable vs the 2k candy giveaway being suggested.

Obviously at this point there isn’t going to be a candy conversion as it wouldn’t be fair to those that bought coffers etc, just maybe something we can hope for in the future.

You already have another currency then, the jorbreakers. And I agree they could implement it more clever – in my suggestion the jade splinters are for the ticket only and nothing else. If you want overlap with other items (Jorbreaker do buy something else after all) then you could use that, sure.

And you are also right that the suggestion is for future RNG boxes, the ship on this has sailed since people blew money on the bad odds. If this incarnation is any indication they are slowly improving the RNG box for the western market though.
