edited July 2016 in General Discussion
So there's a new raffle event ongoing and the rewards seem to be pretty good. Acquiring a lot of the raffle tickets involves tons of fashion as well as dyes.

However though most of those fashion items majority of us already have not to mention the dyes, that have been on sale since 4th of July and lot of us have already stocked up on.
So my question was whether previously purchased raffle required fashion and dyes count towards the event, or do we have to repurchase all of that again. Also a clarification on whether > ALL < the items need to be purchased trough the boutique or some of them can be from other players and/or auction house would be greatly appreciated.

    It sounds like per the announcement, if you bought the items during the promotional raffle period from Raffle 06/29/16 to 07/27/16 you should qualify. If you had items purchased from players before the announcement or if you bought the specific themed items during a sale that happened before this I'm not sure if it's truly tracking it, but best to ask from the horse's mouth so as not to spread misinformation around. @thenamesdomino or @orinj could perhaps clear this one up? :3

    You're correct. Items have to be "new" items that have been purchased during this promo period, and they need to be purchased from the Boutique; specifically, as Paulina stated, because of tracking.

    Sorry we didn't make this clear in the blog post.

    @orinj - please tell me that these prizes are per server and not for the entire game...for the amount of tickets that will be in there now that a few packs generate 10 tickets apiece, this is gonna be crazy numbers

    Also, with the packs being included at 10 tickets, if you buy a 100 bulk pack for 36 gold or whatever it is, will that get you 1,000 tickets, or is it only on single pack purchases?

    hey @orinj in the news post the galactic trooper fashion is listed as a themed item, yet it has so far not been in the boutique for purchase during this promo period. i really do want to buy this fashion so can you let us know if it will be added to the boutique during the promo period?

    It might have expired last week. I'll ask the team to check. Thanks.

    Re: Per Server
    Not per server, sorry. Though, that is something we might be consider in the future. Thanks for the feedback.

    Re: Packs
    If each pack is worth 10, buying 10x will net you 100 tickets.

    The Stormtrooper was only there for one, maybe two weeks. IT's been gone since at least the end of june, if not before.

    Hi there. I checked with the team and it looks like it was a limited to early July. I'm not sure when they plan to bring it back. My guess would be Halloween to coincide with costumes and such. Thanks.
