What the heck is going on with the price of tickets? They're up over 3 gold per now O.O Is there a ticket shortage or something? D:

I just saw some guy in town begging for tickets. Maybe people are just getting lazier, don't want to play the games. Or it could be simple AI.

It's probably those ducks. Everyone wants them, but they cost tickets, so everyone is using ticket, thus causing a shortage.

X3 I don't know whether to laugh at that or not... it's funny and sad all at the same time. Ticket prices so high, we've got poor Gaians begging in the streets for them D:

I play games, but even at that, tickets are the biggest b*tch to get. I'm sure AI is going on to some degree as well rolleyes

sweatdrop AI? Do you mean artificial intelligence by that, or is that another one of those Gaia terms that I haven't learned yet?

xd It's a market term for Artificial Inflation. Gaians (mostly market based guilds) get together and buy all of the lowest priced of an item or items, then re-sells them at a higher price.

Ahh... ok... I haven't heard that one before. I knew artificial inflation, but hadn't heard it as AI yet.

I think it's because they're not easy to get. There are only two ticket games, cards is down half of the time domokun and slots doesn't pay out well. Also, with more people playing pinball, and getting more gold and items from jigsaws and word bump, I just don't think they are spending much time on the ticket games, so supply might be short.

It's because Cards randomly gives you "Error 64" something. It's bad for me since I have a job on Casino Players For You. gonk

I have been wantign to play cards for a week now, but it won't let me play...It says it can't load my information and then just quits on me. I think everyone is having problems with it. that is why no one has any tickets.

Ah... well if some people can't even get into cards and slots, that would explain why tickets have gone from over 100 pages, down to 30-40 something.

Are the ducks really that popular?
