Guild Wars 2

Hi, Just checked the DreamThistle skins upon clicking my Black Lion Claim ticket in my inventory. It says that it costs 3 tickets per weapon. On Wiki doesnt it say that its only 1 ticket and on top of that isnt there a sale as well ?

They were 1 ticket for the first two weeks like the others but went up to 5 after that. I am guessing 3 tickets is the sale price.

Which is outrageous. Claim tickets shouldn’t be treated as currency. Claim tickets represent something that’s already yours and you just need to present your ticket to pick it up. Making them a currency is ridiculous, imho.

Wish they were like the pact victory token claim stub you get for clearing story mode.

Oniyui, you just described how they work. Present the ticket(s), get the item. Right now you can present fewer tickets. They’re called “claim tickets” but that doesn’t mean they have to fit a narrow definition of the term. Heck “slab of red meat” = pork, beef, mutton, or anything else that wouldn’t count as “slab of poultry,” which is moa, chicken, and so on.

Like undead raptor meat.
Hmm … they should change those to “aged” slab of poultry.

Of course they don’t have to fit the narrow definition of what a ticket is, it’s a fantasy world. However, in the real world, a singular ticket gives the holder a certain right, be that claiming an item or entering a theater. You don’t collect tickets to get into a theater, you collect a currency that you can then exchange for a singular ticket. Purchasing multiple tickets grants you that many rights, such as buying 5 theater tickets gets 5 people in. 5 claim tickets, if they worked like actual tickets, would allow you to pick up 5 weapon skins. Instead, they basically work like printed money.

Actually, there are a lot of amusement parks, carnivals, arcades and things that use tickets as currency. Dave and Busters for example.

ah yes… prize tickets and redemption tickets.

edit: I believe in some small mining towns workers were paid in company tickets as well, sadly.

Still… ah forget it.
