"Players had more than they could spend and didn't like losing 75% of what they earned, so now you lose 100%" is basically what the developers are saying with this new announcement.
It was nice knowing that if I could complete S2's pass in time (which after adding it up just now I realize I will not, I still need 6,249 Tix to complete it..) I would be able to keep playing every day (as I have been since release) and earn a small cushion of extra Tix going into Season 3 that I'd be able to use to possibly not worry about missing a few future tasks.
That's now gone out the window.
All the devs are doing here is punishing all players, both free and paid, and for what? Because free players had Tix leftover because they only claimed the free items? So what? All this is going to do is make people who finish the pass completely stop playing until the next season starts.
