Guild Wars 2

A “Claim Ticket” should be able to claim a weapon 1 for 1. A “Claim Ticket” should not be a currency you have to save 3-7 of to purchase items with.

As if they weren’t hard enough to get already, yeesh. The rate things go up in “price” by using claim tickets as a currency instead of a claim ticket is ridiculous given how rarely you get scraps or tickets in chests to begin with.

Well, if they did chance it to work like this, they would decrease the drop-rate for Tickets quite massively anyway, so it would most likely take around the same time/money to get them anyway.

They do need to earn money after all.

Discouraging people from buying keys… my gut tells me that’s not their best source of revenue, especially when people might be getting close to something right before it gets bumped up 5x in price…

I don’t have numbers to go on regarding how many keys they sell but I imagine the people that are buying them aren’t necessarily doing it with the stakes in mind, just using up gems or not worried about what they get or just following a weekly spending routine.

& that they need to earn money from these keys is more reason to make them more valuable. The house always wins in this scenario, even when the player hits the jackpot… they don’t lose money when their customers win. It’s all profit.

I got spoiled by getting a ticket and didn’t realize what it was until I looked it up. Now all I can think about is getting the Aether pistol. Of course, the past 6-7 chests I’ve actually gotten keys for (through story and a few on map completion), I didn’t even get 1 scrap. I’m NEVER going to get the 5 tickets I need, mainly because they’re just too rare and the chests I have opened only drop elixirs and boosters anymore. Sometimes I just wish I hadn’t even gotten the one I have.

Except it’s too expensive, or I would.
