An advantage the old mist system had was that it kept you coming back every day. Even if you didn't have time to play, you'd at least want to get on and pump those 100 mist into making ten mist bombs and see if you could get any UVs this time.
That incentive is gone, so I don't feel the need to log on at any particular day, but I could!,
- Daily ticket would be bound, of course.
- Daily ticket could expire after one or two days, if you think that's necessary.
- Daily tickets could be a 2UV ticket after a week of logins and a 3UV ticket after a month.
- You could be extra sleazy and have daily tickets be claimed in Kozma's shop, so the user gets exposed to all the deals there.
- Another option is to award them from prestige mission. Prestige has been around for quite a long time and I think its obvious that the additional incentives to earn prestige Nick promised back then are never coming.
First concern is that less crowns might end up getting sunk as a result of this. This isn't a major concern given that most the freebies will be landing in the hands of someone who's never touched punch in their life, however.
Second concern is that you might have a bunch of accounts to farm this with. Any unbound weapon you have can be passed between them, even if the tickets can't be. Making them prestige awards at least helps partially circumvent this, but not completely, and it would start conflicting with the prior point since new players won't be getting so many anymore. If technical finesse is on the table though, then the tickets could be made to work on only bound items as a precaution against account farming. Or, they bind whatever you apply them to, same thing.
