Mithral Ticket Consolation Prizes are absolute trash. They need to be removed and replaced

Okay here's the stitch myself and my two friends purchased some sahha ticket balls for 1,000 zen and made some free ones so we had a total of 40 balls between us we held all of our rewards until we ran dry. We each had 11 mithral tickets and spammed them into 1 thing and received 11 silver tickets and some useless trade bars, which honestly is absolute bull shift. Whomever came up with this reward Should be flipping fired you are costing players hundreds of dollars in microtransactions for each set of zen needed for Sahha balls, & for what a "CHANCE" at getting an item? Why not just give us green artifacts and green & blue mounts? That way more players will be inclinded to spend and won't feel ripped off.

    Well if you don't want to spend your silver tickets on the best enchants in the game can I have them?

    Lol same as lock boxes! It's all RNG.... You want some cheese to go with that whine?

    You all are missing the point,

    The Problem is the RNG system's design it's a confounded gambling system the ratio to get an item is so low it's a borderline scam. I read recently two guys purchased 5,000 zen Each, of sahha ticket balls and won NOTHING how do you go thru 100 ticket balls and receive nothing? that's my point also I personally don't care if I get anything because frankly I KNOW I won't I've gone thru 275 dragon lockboxes with still 0 success of getting any artifact. The thing I feel sorry for and that I'm pissed about is that so many other players are litterally going through the same thing and feeling just as screwed over.No one should be put in that position to feel that way, it's just wrong.

    What's really a bummer is when it gives nothing at all. Used a bunch of balls with friends and only got a couple of mithral tickets. Turned them in and only got silvers from 1 mithral. Nothing else was rewarded. Happens often to me, not sure about the rest of you

    I get the overall frustration about RNG rewards and couldn't agree more. I wouldn't however expect to get a major reward ferom a 1,000 ZEN investment either. Purple mounts are 3,000 on the ZEN market and have a 1/200 chance to drop from lockboxes. They won't drop like candy. The lottery always profits off players that overestimate their chances and that's what happens here as well.

    The ZEN ball is indeed overpriced though. At 100 ZEN it's only marginally cheaper than an Enchanted Key, which offers more value. Should be three balls for the 100 ZEN.​​

    If no silver ticket popped up on the bottom right of screen you got yourself 5 tradebars, spend them wisely....

    This would have actually been reasonable pricing although I would say 25 ZEN per ball considering the abysmal odds. They probably would have sold a lot more balls that way and not had so much outrage over the odds.

    Would never be that low due to the HUGE amount of RP you can earn from this event. :p

    I think the consolation prize is 3 or 5 silver tickets. Personally I am happy with the silver tickets to buy enchants that are not otherwise available all the time or to buy coffer food boxes that are otherwise much more expensive. I just wish the copper tickets dropped a bit more so I could buy some fashion from the event too. I wonder if double enchants applies to turning in silver tix?

    I am not sure how we can expect the game to drop a legendary mount after spending 1000 zen, even a purple mount costs 3000 zen, if you were to do some math you could probably predict the cost of a legendary mount in zen and compare that to the cost of keys and drop rate on a lockbox and then the saaha balls.

    Personally i just go with the free ones they give me. The reward vs investement is not worth it. When i heard tenser disk from festival i knew it would be like almost impossible to get.

    I think thats what i dislike about those events, you spend hours of farming for minor stuff while the good stuff is behind the paywall AND a random chance too. I guess at least im telling myself that silver tickets give coffer stuff and enchantements, wich is not completely bad...

    The thing is just to use your common sense You should KNOW by now its a scam not worth it to buy the balls, so you are kinda to blame for having spent so much on them.
