    I have always appreciated the way that ZoS takes good care of those with special needs, and it is heartwarming to see them continuing to do so this holiday season.

    Said I wasn't gonna respond but I don't have any special needs, I actually study psychology, maybe a slight anger management problem at worst but now that I see what mindset you're coming from and confirmed my suspicions, I'll take what you have to say with a grain of salt. None of you actually care about this, you just wanted to be a part of the dogpile of sadistic folks who laugh at others misfortune and now you're upset bc my problem has been resolved and I'm no longer upset and you've gotta get that last little jab in there to feel as though you've somehow won.

    :*Spiteful!

    Regardless of the fact that you realized your mistake and tried to correct it, you did so too late, after the tickets for the day had been awarded.
    Okay, Forum Warriors! Just as Raisin said

    People have had a lot of issues with this in past events, but it hasn't been addressed.
    This is apparently a known issue, unbeknownst to me, that has yet to be resolved. Loot Distribution should be based on Character/ Account confirmation, not just "It dropped, ya snooze, ya lose!"

    Like are you serious, that is your answer to problems? This is why everything stays broken bc ppl celebrate ZoS by all means and blame the people who Name issues.

    I never looted the WB so I have no way of knowing if the tickets were ever even in there! Schrodinger's Cat!
    Therefore, I reject your arguments because this is Not a simple User Error but a distribution Design Flaw.


    The ticket triggers from KILLING the WB. That is what the system sees. Your character did damage and therefore was part of the kill for THAT WB.

    Its NOT a bug. Its Not broken. It has Nothing to do with whether or not you looted the boss. The tickets drop On the FIRST Boss you KILL. That is spelled out in the instructions.

    That is the way it is designed and it worked as it was designed. We, as players, have to take responsibility for our own characters. I've screwed up in the past on exactly this type of issue. But it was MY mistake. I'm not blaming Zos for it.

    OMG you're like personally offended that they fixed my issue? Uhhhhhh… mmmmmhhh… K? :#
    Some Issues are more easily resolved than others, that's not my fault.

    Okay, I'm done responding now, y'all are just getting ridiculous and spiteful.

    I'm happy ZoS fixed the problem and I have nothing left to say.

    This is a Good thing, sir, I'm sorry you can't accept that.

    The only spite I'm seeing is this post here that I quoted.

    you are being spiteful on purpose now. You need to let other people have a happy thing. It doesn't matter if they in your eyes deserved it or not. You don't work for ESO support, you don't know its requirements for such an issue. Its possible that there are hundreds of similar tickets that get the same treatment regardless of anything but the key issue of having missed the tickets. Its also possible the rep was just being in a giving mood.
    Being jealous and spiteful serves no purpose but to hurt people. Instead let the issue go, and go do something fun. Might put a smile back on your face instead of your current frown.

    OP took steps to avoid overflowing tickets by not looting, got scammed out of them due to an absolutely horrid daily ticket limit system, and got tickets rightfully given to them.

    Tickets should be logged when picked up, not when manifested. You could offhandedly heal someone and if they kill a rift of those random daedra right after, that can count against your tickets. You could tag an enemy, realize you’re over the ticket cap, and anyone else can kill that enemy even if you completely leave and you’re now screwed out of tickets.

    That is and will always be a terrible, unintuitive and user-hostile system. You can stop crying “lazy” when the system was designed to cut people out of tickets. I’m happy OP got the tickets they deserved to get today.

    People will seriously try to shift blame on anything.
    You heal someone and get loot, you sure do not complain then. It is 12 tickets. The person messed up period.
    Go run a quest that takes maybe 10 minutes and get more tickets, are people that feeble? In the time it took to make the post they could have run multiples of the Holiday event quests and had multiple tickets.
    Should the devs wipe your butts too when you are deep in a dungeon and your bags are full of important things that you do not want to delete and you can't loot the boss because you forgot?
    Again there are multiple posts from people and staff reminding about the 12 limit. Just take accountability and take the L.

    Its not like they are incorrect.
    ZOS is responsible for the current system where you either get the tickets on the first spawn or lose them and has kept the system, despite this causing issues for players (user error or loss due to game crashes/bugs) with pretty much every event.

    Sure, ZOS has reasons for designing a user-unfriendly system. But let's not pretend that event tickets are designed to be user-friendly.

    Not user friendly? Really?
    You can hold 12 tickets at a time. Seems ok to me.
    Most things are 5 or 10 tickets meaning that you actually have two extra slots in case you forget to cash them in. Seems ok to me.
    Those first tickets are not the only tickets you get per day, you can get more from quests and drops. Seems ok to me.

    Not user friendly would be "hey you need 10 for the cool stuff but surprise you can only hold 7".
    Maybe somewhere Sesame Street Online is looking for players?

    Unfortunately, there is no way to "fix" the issue by not claiming your loot; once you make the kill, the tickets are yours, and if you decline to pick them up then they're lost. It's great that support sent you tickets to replace the ones you lost, but there might be a limit on how many times they'll be willing to do this.

    People have been making this "I accidentally went over the limit and lost X number of tickets because of the limit" mistake since the beginning of these ticket-earning events. By now, every player-- except brand new players-- should be well aware of the limit and the importance of paying attention to how many tickets they already have before heading out to earn more, and to spend their tickets when appropriate to prevent going over the limit.

    I posted a PSA before this event to remind people to keep track of their number of tickets each day and spend them as soon as possible due to the increased risk of going over the limit. I have to check twice-- once after killing a boss, to see if I need to go spend some tickets before doing the New Life quests, otherwise I might go over the limit; and again just before I sign off so I can verify that I've got my expected number of tickets and update the tracking document I made.

    I'm not picking at anyone who makes this mistake-- I feel for you, and the reason I made my PSA wasn't to teach people how to count to 12, but to try to look out for people by warning them of the greater risk this time. I'm just pointing out that ZOS has been asked to increase, or even do away with, the 12-ticket limit since the beginning of these events, and they haven't, so it is up to each of us to pay attention.

    Really, this is no different than any situation where we can't pick up something we really want or need because our inventory is full, and when we try to free up space then either the thing is gone (like that one type of fish we were trying to catch), or some other player has swooped in and gotten it (like Kuta or Nirncrux in a node).

    I understand your complaints, but...

    That's irrelevant to the question of who's fault it is that the system is the way the system is, which is what I discussing.

    ZOS is the one who set the limit, even though higher limits would be more user friendly. Why? They want players grinding each event instead of saving tickets.
    ZOS is the one who decided you loot your tickets when they spawn or you lose them, instead of giving players multiple chances even though they know this has caused problems for players (game crashes, bosses glitching, etc.) Why? They want players to grind out or buy missed tickets.


    So sure, the OP failed to check their ticket count before they killed a boss. That seems rather obvious.
    But the reason why we've had these types of discussions about losing event tickets nearly every event is because ZOS designed event tickets that way.

    I can both acknowledge that the OP failed to meet the requirements ZOS has for getting event tickets AND acknowledge that ZOS' design for limiting and receiving event tickets is not user-friendly.

    ZOS could had made the limit of 20 and we'd still have had issues seems some players will blame them for everything if it takes away the fult to self being the reason behind things that they do wrong

    ZOS could had made the limit of 20 and we'd still have had issues seems some players will blame them for everything if it takes away the fult to self being the reason behind things that they do wrong
    Limit doesn't matter. The flaw of the current system is that user doesn't have a second chance even if it is not his fault.
    If tickets are given with the quest completion, user doesn't lose tickets when he fails to finish the quest (in case of game crash or something similar). He can just log in and talk to the quest giver again to finish the quest and gain his tickets.
    If tickets are given with the memento, it is very easy for the user to find location where he will not be logged out for at least 5 seconds to use the memento and successfully gain his tickets.
    That is not the case for tickets given in the first loot. Once user fails to get that first loot regardless of his intentions his only second chance is customer support.

    Seriously, it’s not that hard to remember to have a quick check of your inventory when you log in, and work out what you need to do, ticket-wise.

    And if tickets are rewarded for killing a boss, then its not that difficult to avoid killing one until you are ready.

    And as for remembering to loot the boss - the game is built around this mechanic; you kill boss, you loot to get reward - it’s not some huge change just for the event.

    I stand by my first response; there are many things that are Zos’s fault, but this just isn’t one of them. Take some responsibility for your actions.
