Guild Wars 2

Add 1g/ticket to vendor for all I care, I don’t want to waste my time doing those annoying mini games and I couldn’t care any less about meta achievements.
Even 1g for 1 ticket would be better than wasting 15 minutes running sprint for 5 tickets.

If you are willing to pay that much for tickets, you can always buy mats on the TP and then boxes at Cliffs for tokens (and a “small” chance on a rare… :P).

What/Which boxes?

There are some vendors at the bery beginning of Laberynthine Cliffs that trade them for materials.
