Petition to have run 2's ticket release changed!

[SHAFT]

I propose this;

Simu releases all 100 tickets at 9 am on a Saturday, with enough notice to their customers so people can take time off work and plan accordingly.

Premium gets a 2 minute head start. Basic sales open at 9:02.

I don't want suggestions or ideas, just sign if you agree. This is how it should be done.

[SHAFT]

Even if you got a ticket, you gotta agree this is better.

[Tsk Tsk]

Might want to change the year on the flyer :/

[Berean]

I like it shaft

I said no suggestions! Hehe, I did this as a joke but it'd be interesting to see how many people sign off.

[drunksolo]

That's just a return to the de facto premium only for limited events.

[senorgordoburro]

Shaft for Dictator!

[Shimeria]

I would sign it

[Tgo01]

If you can get Whirlin's bow to sign up for this then I'll be all over it too.

[SHAFT]

Whirlin's bow is out being a whore right now. It'll be home around 3 am

[Ausek]

But I work every saturday morning from 7-3, no chance to get it off...sad panda.

[Slit-eye]

There's always a chance to get it off. Wait. What? What were we talking about?

I'd sign this, Shaft.

[vprmn123]

Pay virilneus to get you a ticket. With this format it's a guaranteed thing. He's one of the most respectable people we have in gs.

[Tgo01]

Shaft are you ignoring my private messages? :(

What have I done Shaft? I can change! I CAN CHANGE!

[SHAFT]

Are you high? I don't have any pm's from you

[Tgo01]

I sent you one yesterday. Okay so I exaggerated about there being multiple messages.

This is my perfect scenario, except I'd pick noon. When I have to do similar things I always do noon, that gives west coasters time to wake up.

[SHAFT]

Well, 9 am pst, so noon for you

[SHAFT]

This is it??? While I appreciate the people who have rallied to this cause, we can't get more people to sign off on this?

Do it for your country! Do it for love! Do it for money, I don't care!

Viva la revolucion!

[everan]

Here's my belated signature, and for goodness sake, let's get these other tickets sold sooner rather than later so that I can get my complaining and misery all done at one time instead of dragging it on all the way through the fall if I don't win a lottery spot.

[BriarFox]

Yes, I'd sign this petition. You should just make it an open poll. It'll be easier for people to sign.

[DCSL]

I'd sign.

[Fallen]

I don't care when the time is, just that all 100 tickets are put up at once. Let's get this shit OVER with.

[Arctal]

I'd sign it.

[SHAFT]

It's too late. We're doing this old school style!

I need more! Viva la revolucion!

[Jarvan]

i'd sign it of course.

They won't do it though.

[Manamethis]

Although I agree and would sign the petition. I don't think it's going to matter in the big picture. They made their decision and they're going to force us to accept it.

[SHAFT]

It doesn't matter jarvan. It's about sending a message.

[Draccash]

Signed

Fuck off PK! You're off my Christmas list.

Solomon will say no just to piss you all off.

Just because he single handedly saved Gemstone, doesn't mean he's respectable... and certainly doesn't mean he's one of the MOST respectable.

[SHAFT]

This is the Internet so you're entitled to your opinion, but what I was trying to say was you can put your account in his hands and you have nothing to worry about. Not to mention there is a strong possbility he'll get you a ticket. I'm not talking about his attitude or his political beliefs.

[Narthsin]

People are going to bitch and moan no matter how tickets are released. For each 'signature' you get there's likely 3 people who don't give a shit, 5 who aren't planning to attend anyway, and 1-2 who can't make the timeframe you picked.

Lets all sign this instead!

Sorry, a bit late to the party, but I'll sign!

[Drew]

This is worse than the current system.

[SHAFT]

This is worse than the current system.

Who's side are you and PK really on huh? Don't ruin this for me dicks!

[Androidpk]

Not on your side, at least not on this topic. I would have been ok with increasing the amount of tickets sold in total or the blocks of tickets sold. I don't agree with the tickets being sold for X amount of time before basic membership can get a shot though. Make it one block of 75 sold for premium only, then open it up to 25 for basic.

[SHAFT]

It doesn't matter. I have whirlin's bow on my side. We can't be stopped!

Duel wielding old style katanas trumps fusion bow every time.

Hm. No. Nope. Not at all, even a little.

[Androidpk]

Hm. No. Nope. Not at all, even a little.

You act as if you have a say in the matter.

[BriarFox]

Well, what you think in your head is private and potentially unassailable territory. Objectively, however, a fusion bow and ranged are far more effective than TWC falchions.

[Fallen]

Aren't falchions pretty slow for TWC?

[BriarFox]

Yes, 8 second combined base RT, though it can be offset with a sufficient AGIDEX bonus.

[Androidpk]

Fusion bows are a dime a dozen and the RT isn't so bad for a hasted elf. I swing in 2 seconds.

And aimed longbow shots to the eye happen in 1 second.

[Donquix]

Funny how an easily aimable weapon style with inherently less hard round time and basically free 10x enchants that also ignores parry defense seems to be superior than like...everything.

But....bows are for sissies. So there.

[Androidpk]

Who cares about effectiveness, this is GS where flash and style trump all.

[Methais]

The flaw with this petition is that most people seem to be under the impression that the premium perk everyone is foaming at the mouth over is for exclusive access to pay events, as opposed to being able to buy tickets earlier than basic subscribers.


-- Advanced Ticket Sales!
Premium members enjoy the first pick at event tickets when they go on sale, giving you an advantage for the events with limited amounts of tickets!

Advanced Ticket Sales != exclusive ticket sales.

Premium had access to all 100 tickets, with exclusive access to 50 of them.

I fail to see what the problem is.

[BriarFox]

I actually don't care about the premium/prime distinction much. I just want tickets released all at once, not in four small batches.

[bremerial]

Ditto.
Although the delay has had one notable side effect. I was getting caught up in the hype and felt like someone in the middle of a rushing crowd being dragged along. That feeling has totally dissipated now that goodness.

[Tyronebiggums]

I'll sign this for some rocks
