Buying GL Tickets from the shop might be worth it

What about the crystal value of all the other stuff you would get from those refreshes?

Plus the fact that 3 refreshes per day on normal energy should be business as usual for every player.

Still, the value of those ticket purchases seems unusually good. The worst thing about it, is that it means they have gone further into monetizing GL farms, so that whole ticket thing will never ever go away now. I was really hoping they'd drop it.

They couldn't if they wanted to, regardless of weekly shipments. What about all the people that went through the ticket grind? Some of them for all 7 GLs. There's no way to make those people whole after dropping the ticket farming requirements. They could in theory reimburse an arbitrary number of crystals per GL, but then the forums would be in an uproar about "whales" getting "free" crystals.

At the very least they should fix the events so people don't lose tickets to game crashes (Looking at you JMK event...) - but I think dropping the ticket system was never an option.

They didn't give me anything to make up for when all the toons I farmed 1 shard at a time went double for people from that point on. Why would they need to give anyone anything?

Just at one point go, no ticket farming. Any future GL release, current players benefit from that too. People who did the hard yards already had all this time of owning them, where the other player didn't.

I've farmed 5 and a bit worth of tickets now and I would have zero problem with any player from right now on not having to do that. It doesn't hurt me at all. It would benefit me. Guild mates would be able to get more gp and better teams faster to earn more guild rewards.

This hazing type "I had to go through it, so do you", pass it on mentality doesn't help anyone.

But there's crystals to be sold and money to be made so it doesn't even matter.

As an analogue to accelerated shards for toons they could halve the tickets required at certain tiers for older GLs. They could do it 2/3 years after a GL is released to encourage even newer players to unlock all the GLs rather than focusing on the latest ones
