Okay, so, this is... the third or so thread? Yeah, so, basically, the suggestion is remove tickets.
Tickets are without a doubt the most cancerous thing that are in this game at the current moment in time. Those people that work hard to get genuine upgrades? RIP, that effort is wasted. People that want to work their way to the top? RIP - you can use a coupon and immediately become the peak of power right there and then. So, let me just explain a few things why I think these are toxic, along with some counter arguments...
POINT: "It's temporary! It's not like you're going to keep that stuff permanently or anything, right? It doesn't matter!"
COUNTER: Okay, so, you're basically saying that being a god for even two days is fine? Being literally the peak of the cap? +12 tickets were bullshit enough, everyone hoarded them for budokai and got easy high upgraded gear for the weekend, making their chances of victory all the higher than the regular players... Don't even get me STARTED on +15, +15 is an entirely new demon altogether. Not only are you literally reaching maximum defense/power output (basically), it lasts for FIFTEEN DAYS. Do you have any idea how much is possible in fifteen days? CC150 would be /demolished/ by people with these tickets.
POINT: "Rare/Legendary items give better stats in both ways! You can't use coupons on those."
COUNTER: ...And? Your point is basically saying, "yo, you can't become the literal peak of the peak of the GAME with these", but you seem to forget.... +15 is what we're talking about here. If you can honestly tell me, that if you had the option between, oh, idk, a 28 FOC rare glove that was +12/+13 (being generous here, most people don't get lucky enough to get that far at all) or a 24/26(not sure of the exact stat) FOC excellent glove... BUT +15 instantly - you'd pick the 28 FOC - then you're inefficient as hell and downright stupid IMO. +15 gives the biggest stat boost of all the upgrades, with reason. It's the peak of what you can achieve.
POINT: "Cashers are just mad that f2p people can get a chance now!!!!!11"
COUNTER: Yeah, okay, a guaranteed chance of +15, instantly, as compared to a rather low chance of actual +15, even with the u70 stones that people have stockpiled... sure. You seem to underestimate the power of a coupon - there is no chance of failure. No breaking. It succeeds, always, and will always last fifteen days. That's overpowered if I've never seen it before.
POINT: "Oh, but they're being removed from the shop already!!!!!"
COUNTER:
This alone is a counter in itself. People that stockpile these things are going to have a huge advantage over everyone else, both in PVP and PVE, both in the fact that they can instantly start to trash anyone that doesn't have +15 in PVP, and storm CCBD150 in the first day and get all the auras and other shit, basically putting everyone else at a permanent disadvantage. Not to mention you can share honey between people - this fact means that people that want a friend to get super OP gear ready for the 70 cap - well - hey - rest in peace balance, goodbye game.

Now let me just make my suggestion itself clear; no, I'm not just saying to remove the tickets from the event manager NPC. I'm saying remove them from the game altogether. Anyone that gets them, shouldn't have them. It's too much power. Downgrade it to +12, shorten the duration as well, or just remove them altogether because honestly, +12 at level 70 is already ridiculous enough.
This isn't healthy for the game at all.
tl;dr:
REMOVE THE u70 +15 TICKETS, BOTH FROM THE EVENT MANAGER - AND FROM THE GAME - PERIOD. THEY ARE TOO STRONG.
