I’ve spent the last 2 hours grinding Hammerfell with pistol whip and I’m bored as anything.

With the event handing out 20 tickets at a time I’ve easily gotten several thousand to get through, yet the only decent way to burn them is Hammerfell, and even that’s way too much.

Patch in a way to use them up quicker and in a more interesting way.

Allow us to double down our tickets, to get double the reward. Allow us to double down on our double down, etc. Alternatively, just add an option to repeat your last gambit setup and boss choice to one of the NPCs so we don’t need to menu spam between every run.

One thing I can suggest for you is to spend those 20 tickets that come in from a gold bb immediately after the gold reward appears. There is almost never any lineups in a gold bb pavilion and you will have those tickets spent before the next donation wait is over.

If you let too many accumulate you will most certainly face repetitive strain and be bored to tears. Now, since you have so many built up I can only suggest you try to spend as many as you can in-between golds. I used this method to burn through 1000 tickets while still receiving all gold/silver rewards.

At least this year it isn’t the classist way to stay economically competitive during the event.

Paying more tickets to get more rewards is exactly what the gambits do. So pick a few gambits, and perhaps mix up some gauntlet bosses. (Doobroosh and Ragemaw are rather easy too.)

I’m already running on max gambits, did you even read the post?

There needs to be a way to burn through them faster at the rate they’re given at gold level.

Drop squeamish, it is not worth it.

+20% reward for +100% time to kill. Already done.

The time to burn through tickets is still ridiculous. An option to increase risk/cost to reduce time should be added, or it’s just an ordeal rather than a challenge.

What’s your rate of ticket burn? I think I am at one of the fastest I’ve observed from other players. Including the time to select the next gambits and get ported into the ring it takes me a total of 30s from start of one to start of the next with no waiting on cooldowns (I do all gambits except squeamish so 12 tickets per minute).

It takes me a 21mins to burn through a stack of gauntlet tickets assuming no one else is at the ring (which is a guarantee if you do it inside a gold bb pavilion).
