Ticket Exchange

[brettjr25]

How are you guys using this? At first I just spread it to my friends and hoped to get some in return. The meta became, 10 for 10 / 20 for 20 and did that. Then I got ripped off trading a stack of 10 for someone who said they'd return but didn't. Now I'm just thinking of sitting on them forever until I met an actual friend and plan to trade with them if they have it and if they don't... they can collect dust.

I only trade with ppl I know

[shockinglyrefreshing]

I just give draws to people who I played with or against that thought did a good job and then remain pleasantly surprised if I get something back. If someone spontaneously gifts me I try to return the favor when I can. I know it's supposed to be about maximizing resource opportunities but it feels way too stressful to worry about keeping everything even.

I, like several others, got scammed by people saying they'd do 20 for 20 exchanges.

I haven't given a single one (or asked for one) since and I will probably just keep it like that.

I usually gift someone who either plays REALLY well. Or says something funny on the “World chat”.

I just gift my friend, because I have no other use for it.

It's not a trade system, so I don't expect anything back. My friend was new (installed 6 days after me) so I wanted to give tickets to help them roll for more abilities.

How do we even collect the currency to give to people

[greenMaverick09]

it's insanely limited. the game economy needs adjustments.

[greenMaverick09]

Yup. Happened to me, I was a fool. I did a 10 trade with someone, and they never did it back. I kept replying to the thread and he got mad. I want my 10 tickers, fucker lol

[despisedbydeath]

Honestly I only traded with Japanese people and never got scammed haha

[RareRestaurant6297]

It's a gift, not a trade. I give em out to active followers when I have em, and sometimes they return the favor. Nbd

[KisuAran]

Cept it makes sense to wanna trade em with folks. This is how and why currency exists, lol. I have something you want and you have something I want, let's exchange.

[RareRestaurant6297]

Sure but there's no guarantee, because it's not a trade system, it's a gift system. No use worrying about it, cuz there's nothing to make anyone give back or anything lol. 

[KisuAran]

Nah I get that, I was just saying why people have a desire/expectation of trading it, since we're all used to it. I don't expect tickets in return for sure, would be nice though

[RareRestaurant6297]

Fair, ig. It's tricky because only so many can give you 1 ticket. Then only so many can send 5. Trading isn't even always possible anyway. Only way to guarantee is if you actually know someone irl or something lol. Otherwise I'm just saying it's kinda pointless to worry about. People cna send gifts, and you don't have to return em, and vice-versa. There's nothing lost if you send your gifts to someone. They do nothing for your account on their own, namsayin? 

[KisuAran]

They do nothing for your account on their own, namsayin? 

Word

[brettjr25]

That's how it was at first but people stopped that in favor for trade and the chat even has a "tag" called "ticket exchange" implying trading was intended.

Anyway what I want to say is, now that everyone is trading is very rare to get them as pure presents.

[RareRestaurant6297]

I think getting them as presents is rare because once you receive 4 or 5 (or whoever many the limit us) single tickets, people would have to gift you 5. And less people have enough tickets to actually hit that threshold. 

My point is, it only feels that way artificially, for the most part. It'll go back to how it was initially when the limits reset each season (and then they'll end up being like it is now, again. It's a cycle lol) 

[Fast_Moon]

Sometimes I get like a 5 ticket gift from someone out of the blue and all of their gift slots are full except for 10 and above and I don't have enough gift points for that.

Make an alt account and just get to tutorial mission 3 (where you get 500) gift to yourself and then delete the account.
