My guild made a little video montage for the RSS that Chrizmaniac will post eventually.

Man, I wish I were back in the days of June with those kinds of CE prices and mats to sell, doing Vanaduke runs, haze bombs, and having most of the market info streamlined with knowledge of weapons & armor. But no, I just had to act til Nov or Dec and changing my goals from getting all weapons and armor to UVs. When prices rose and having bought a Dusker Coat Normal Max from the wolver seller Hican(guy made a fortune I bet) to combine with my crafted shock max elemental hood and bought shadow high and shock low one. What a bad idea, should've just started with the wolvers piercing which was only a few kce more, having bought the normal max down from 12kce to 10kce :\ Well flourishes CTR VH were bought at 16kce for its rarity I guess back then, so I guess some of us lost out, and have had to spend more time grinding. Alright I'm done rambling.

Waiting for all those rage topics, if you get 1000 tickets for 1000 type of same bomb, made by all of those who will come here after update not reading prior mail.

Imagine skyrocketing CE price. If people will hoard on UV tickets they wont have to spend CR on them, more CR to buy CE! And thats what OOO loves, the bigger CE price, the more people will swipe their credit card to get some CE.

It's still a bad idea. It's not players' to decide, it's OOO.

IDK, UV tickets in boxes didn't distort the market to profoundly. Good UV items will be cheaper for a bit, thus somewhat offsetting the influx of tickets. When ce prices become too astronomical then a Promotion will fix that. Accessories (nice ones) are cheaper than ever (for the most part). So the only true victims would be people who scrape by on Ce prices, but again, that is always fixed via promotion when it is necessary. It just seems like a discount sell on UV tickets for CE. And this will cause 1000's if not 100,000's of uvs to be rolled that would normally not be rolled.

Got all my tickets =) Yay

I got the UV right on the spot from the first craft, unless...that was from the machine and didn't count for a ticket? The 2nd bomb I crafted(but haven't done so with alts cause it was too late), but I sold it. So you really do get UV tickets and not UVs on the bombs. Man I'm an idiot. Why did I assume that. I knew it was UV tickets but I didn't know if they were specifically only for crystal bombs and not any other armor or weapon. Njthug's post cleared it up. Thanks OOO, now I gotta f......buy UV tickets from Punch. And after I rolled over x50 on pulsars just to only get ASI Med. I thought they attached a UV(but that wouldn't have made sense on those that already had a UV on it). Why am I....Okay I'm screwed. Now that makes me really weep. I'm done, can't stand others taking time off their game cause they don't have to work. Those UV prices now have to drop to make up for the unclarified....man..I gotta clear my head. I better get 2/3% off from sellers if it's goign to be like that. I can't stand missing deals that I could've benefited from if other people just freaking told me more information and not kept it to themselves. Why do that? I freaking asked if there was 1 limit per star bomb, then I get confused when I get a UV from the machine from the first craft, forgetting that you guys said that tickets will be sent later. Jesus, you know how much money this will save a lot of people, both f2p and veterans? I paid $69 into this game, and this is what I get? I didn't really think they would give a UV ticket per bomb in your inventory. It's just unimaginable. Anybody can get VHs, Maxes, and UV combos now. I mean I had 10kce to splurge.

What the heck is going on?

Wow. They really did it.

Congrats, Nj and others. Clearly I made the wrong bet by assuming OOO would not do anything so absurd. -__-

This is absurd. I can't even believe it.

My first reaction was.. "is that explsoive bird crap?"

I don't know why everyone is alright with this. Okay, now that I've given this more thought, I wouldn't have profitted from a guy like myself who was in my situation. Who cares about the bomb, it's about why it's okay to think that people can just relax now and not grind KoA even if I had a bunch of tickets, I'd protest with him, nevermind, probably wouldn't believe me. Fine, have fun selling to the people that had a better chance of getting stuff on their own. I know a lot of people got a lot of tickets, both the apr players getting clear info from the game masters themselves and the f2p or ones with few alts are the only ones that get me thought. I only crafted 1 bomb. Just gotta say this over and over, those unlimited uv tickets is just illogical. I asked if there was one limit, like you know a limit they have for one item only from a coupon? No one wanted to answer clearly. Why do that? I don't think these guys deserve a cr or ce for not being straightforward or responsive. They were just talking amongst others in the zone chat, which wasn't that busy, no clues whatsoever. Just why!? Why so many tickets!?

Welcome to game economics 101 everyone, where sometimes things happen and if you happened to be at the right place and the right time you can profit. Happens all the time in any game with an economy that gets tweaked/balanced. Be happy if you were there to take advantage, QQ your eyes out if you weren't, it changes nothing.

The great thing about an economy that is primarily player driven (primarily, not completely) is that nothing really matters in the long run. When someone loses out, someone else gains. The spike that the whole UV ticket thing will cause will be a relatively small one in the big picture. The actual thing that matters are the bombs that got changed as it impacts things in the long run. You're welcomed to your own opinion if you want but Three Rings have clearly already given their reasons for making the changes they did. Their interest isn't just in pleasing customers in the short term but making a better game as a whole and thus pleasing everyone in the long term. That is why the bombs were changed.
