Golden Gach Tickets: A new way to obtain AP Resets

To add to what Krauser said,
The idea behind the suggestion was definitely not to stomp out the need for Vote NX AP Resets; if you saw the reactions to the price reduction earlier, it was mostly negative. The point is that you should still rely on it, but that you could get some extra resets to alleviate the cost of the hundreds of thousands of vote NX you'll need to finish your wash; that there was some way to find a bit more if you actually played with your character and put effort into it (Instead of just slashing the cost in the cash shop and basically giving 100Ks of NX to washers)

 

Well, first, It's much less exciting.
Also because a 1:1 exchange of Hunting tickets for AP Resets would probably be way too many tickets. If you're unlucky you can get 0 tickets during your night, but sometimes you'll get 3 within one hour. As I mentioned earlier, even if it would be multiple tickets for a AP Reset, It's the kind of thing that, for a player, just feels bad in general. It's not nearly as satisfactory than to trade the rarer coupon for a AP reset.

 

I think that this suggestion is definitely more geared towards people who are actively hunting/grinding; questing doesn't seem like the best source of Hunting tickets in general; I wouldn't really expect a character in the process of being HP washed to be aiming for the top of the questing ladderboards

 

I do believe that, balance-wise, making Hunting tickets at their current drop rate a 1:1 exchange for AP resets might be way too much and let people farm them too easily, which is why I suggested this second type of ticket.

 

Although AP Resets were originally intended to fix mistakes and things of the sort as you say, the loophole was found, and was kept in the game by Neckson for a very, very long time since they realized they could just get easy money from the more dedicated players. In the end, even though it was not as widely available as it is right now, washing was part of the original/nostalgic MS, so I doubt just taking it away/removing it is going to be considered. It would require some major changes to be done to damage or HP formulas so that players may survive bosses like HT at a level that isn't ridiculous, which is not something I think the server's staff intends to do.

To get hunting tickets, you need time and dedication in the first place. You need to be actively training/grinding. Adding some small buffs to the ways of obtaining resets (As we've already seen with the Anniversary's Cody quest, or the new trade in for 60 pearls from the summer event) is a fine (and respectful way to the older players who spent ridiculous amount of times on their washes) way to do this.

Yeah, an increase in price is proooobably not happening, since it's contrary to what like 98% of the players here want (Seems people either want it to be kept as is, get a reduction in price or have a new way to get tickets introduced). Instead of having the server's veterans up in arms about the staff making it too easy for the newer players and etc... You'd have all the newer players saying the veterans had an easy ride to wash their characters. That would blow up pretty quick
I'm not sure what you mean in the last line, but people have to somehow grind (or get leeched) if you want to reach bossing levels anyway, so you're bound to get tickets one way or another. Having 70-80 INT doesn't make a character completely useless until It's washed out, y'know.
