as we all know is kabam converting a company based problem to our/player problem, well knowing that it is bad for us. But they don't have any idea how to make it work good for both sides...if they had, they just made it directly.
Let's just look on an other example:
you are at home and your friends are here. your best friend is in your only toilet. and you need to go to toilet very quick...now you have a problem...how you're gonna solve this? in our case it goes like that: you go to your neighbors front door and put a brown pile directly in front of it, well knowing that it is not a good thing! and NOT knowing how to clean it afterwards, but! you made it not longer your problem and you just accept that it may stink in the neighborhood
My question is: with wich reason is it correct to cause problems for thousands of players and cover it as a good thing? neither is it ok to just let it go like that nor to try to find a solution after the change
No matter from which side you look at this problem, bringing this change without a solution is nothing more than in the previous example.
and NO it is not the same if a few members of the alliance are carrying the whole cost of everybody, or if the whole TEAM carries the cost TOGETHER
Best regards
My ally has always ran 1 BG of map 6 and 2 BG of map 5. This works well as we have the map 6 players that hate 5 and won’t run it and then some map 5 players who don’t want 6. We have get some decent rewards from doing this and it works well. We share the donations out between all 30 members so it’s fair 100%. However the changes you are bringing in with these tickets are simply not fair for mixed map allies who run 6&5. Why should the map 6 group be expected to only pay for tickets yet the whole ally gets the rewards? Not fair Kabam and you need to look at this and address this with a solution before starting this on 10th June ,half arsed, when it’s clearly not been thought through. It will just upset loyal players.
I understand the change and actually like the idea - but it’s simply not fair for allies running mixed maps. Please can you advise if this will be addressed? Some sort of response would be appreciated ASAP so we can work our where to go from here. Thanks

An entire game mode should not be locked behind needing a certain amount of resources. Alliance War is free, so why shouldn't Alliance Quest be free as well?
You don't start AQ with a treasury loader in the alliance. Even if you do, he donates and kick him out, your old member cant join the aq map after. Map6 and 7 require full 10 member BG to 100%.
After day ends, treasury resets. Or it doesn't. It wont matter, as treasury will be empty if all battle groups fill up. Once AQ ends, treasury becomes unavailable. So, only active members can put tickets in, as many as they want, if they want to cover the entry for someone else.
Also, costs should be 12 tickets for map6 and 24 for map7, so if an alliance runs just 2 bgs, with mixed map7 and 6, the average per player is 18.0 ( and not 22.5 as per current costs).
What's the problem in running different maps in different BGs with all this ticket system? 10 players are capable of doing Map 6 - they are doing Map 6. 10 other players are capable only doing Map 5 - they, oh what a surprise, are doing Map 5. Rewards are shared in between all the 30 players. What are you afraid of? I'll take a shot, and say that you're afraid of the fact, that the players, who are doing Map 5, will remain at that position no matter what, and still get Map 6 rewards for free. Simple solution - kick that sons of **** out of the alliance, when you get the feeling, that they are using other 10 people who do Map 6. That's what alliance leader, and officers are for, to detect that kind of players, and get rid of them.
This ticket system also will simplify the leadership and officership, no need for calculation, no need for chasing a couple of cheating players who avoided treasury for the long time. It's a huge improvement. You want AQ - pay for the AQ. You don't want AQ - don't pay for it. It's that simple.
Also, if you give a competent look at the excel sheet of the donation system for the tickets, you will see, that price for the tickets is much much much lower than it was with the treasury donation system.
So I'll ask one more time: What are you complaining for?
Secondly, I agree that it helps remove the possibility of people shirking donations, which is good but still feel that there should be a way for officers to monitor that people have bought the tickets.
If they wanted to reduce the donations, that was possible even without tickets. It's just change in numbers. Tickets may or may not be good, but can't say that we have reduced donation amount just due to tickets.
I like your idea in general of pooling ticket count for leadership to see, and the reset of the treasury, but it has one big flaw. A high level bot account can still pay for everyone (in your system, one person can "donate all 600 tickets").
When I said it doesn't prevent botters/arena mercs from selling to people within their high bot account alliance. I wasn't talking about those low level bot accounts that dumped resources and left, but the ones with decent roster size.
They can leave their decent 5*r5 roster bots running in arena. Use past and said resources to stock up on tickets (and the ones they get from kabam's excess treasury donation return). Have said high level bot accounts (the ones purchased off retired players) that can handle map 7 decently well (they only need to be able to handle a path per section, give the bot accounts priority to pick the one best suited) to join their customer's (or their own) alliance and pay for everyone's map cost. Having a small dip in prestige would be the tradeoff, but free map cost for 29 members! Or if they want to risk botting with their higher prestige accounts, they probably would because that is their source of income. Minimal drop in prestige, with all the upside of avoiding to pay for map 7. Where this value would compound.
Yes, Kabam could lower the price of a ticket even further- if it's current price isn't making the botters go out of business.
Another way is to get rid of donation costs altogether- but it would remove one of Kabam's methods of controlling the resource economy.
That's more than enough payback .. + 2 weeks free AQ !
