Anyone else think 50 coupons is rather a large amount just to get ONE lucky ball? For every expired item you get 5 chances and usually 2-4 of those are coupons so to collect 50 coupons you need like half a year worth of expired items just for ONE lucky ball.
Do you think they should lower it to 25 coupons per ball?

I do think it's a bit much, but 25 does seem low

I hope GMs still give away 3-day items at events :( So close to getting an LB but I already deleted most of my SC items Dx

The game is indeed fun. But yes, I do think getting 50 is a little excessive. Maybe make it like 30 tickets? @__@~

I think a number between 25-30 is good. 50 is just tooo much. I don't even get enough items a month for that. This is a great idea and all but it's not really worth 50 tickets for a lucky ball that is totally random for items. Just think how much people spend on their sc items in the first place. This idea does have it's potential use, but give us poor folk a break........

I think that if its going to be 50, then we should be guaranteed a rare or perm item. If its just going to be a random LB, then it should definitely be lowered.

sounds scam-ish to me. i definately see a point to giving it a try if you have just expired SC items, but the one for perm items is just ridiculous. You guys are right, if the price is going to be so high, it better give a 100% chance for a rare/perm item. This just sounds like another scam to get more sc out of you. Even if i have 3 Rabbit ears and i dont need 3, im not gonna risk them for a CHANCE at something else. I spent enough money on chances...i want something i know im going to get, no more of these "surprises".

I think that it was great they took the opportunity to put something in game you can turn in those expired items on. Look at it in a positive way. If you didnt have the recycle girl you would be deleting these items right? With recycle girl you turn in items that are no longer usable for another chance at something and its not costing you more sc.
Yes I think lowering the tickets drastically is a good suggestion. I also think they should implement gifting permanent items you no longer want to friends before recycle girl is your option.
They are on the right track here and I thank Outspark for coming up with something else to do in game. Now we can submit our suggestions on tweaking their system :)

Yeah I wish I had kept my extra Permanent backpack. I didn't need all those flasks, or the Flask sets I got from the LBs. -.-

I also support the 'Gifting perm items to others' idea, since some perm items we have we could trade for the ones that others have and don't want, but is something you're looking for.( Ex. My two Angel PJs could be traded for 1 Black Cat Ears and 1 Black Cat Tail, or maybe Angel Wings and Halo...)
And with the Recycle Lucky Ball, I also agree that it should be 100% perm, would make the 50 tickets more worth it...
And on that note, 30 tickets does sound more reasonable than 50, considering not all of us even gets SC armor all the time, mostly all we have are the 1 mil pots that are continuously given from the other Lucky Balls.

I honestly really didn't mind the 50- I had bout 13 things from the last couple months I been holding on to, so I was able to get a LB right away... But now that I have to start over to get the 50 it seems a longs ways away! But it is a great idea, everyone has been wanting something to do with the double perm items they have.. I think the game is fun, its like Plinko! Gotta love that.. So I dunno I'm mixed on how I feel about the 50 tickets thing... Kinda alot, but then again, didn't take much to get my 50.... So ....

If you are currently wearing the item any in your inventory you cant trade in. Remove the item and then recycle. Also you cant do the same item at the same time.

Ok here we go. It's time to see if these new Lucky Ball R is worth it. I am going now to trade in some extra items. For most of the people that I am friends with and/or party with, I am known as the most SC heavy player in SotS. I am going to trade in my stocks of extra perms in order to see if I can score one of these Rare Never Before Released Perms. I wish we could gift perms that we already have cause I would give them to you and not her lol! Ok so here is what im trading in; Angel PJ's x2, Angel Ring x3, Imp's Tail x3, Angel Wing x2, Pirate Cloak of Speed, Samurai Helm (Female), and Emo Hair x2. These are the extras that I have on my main right now. I will post here the results of what I get from these new LB's. Brb about 30mins with results.

Man... I traded in around... 10 expired items... and I got 33 of those LB tickets... I think the 50 tickets is good... cause we have been getting lots of SC items from events... especially when you get doubles ;P

Well, seeing as you have a 50% chance or greater of getting flasks and less for the other gears (perma being the rariest, I believe), I think the 50 tickets per LB is excessive. ^^

u guys ask for way to much
before today, expired items we COMPLETELY useless, but now we can use them to get lucky balls if we have enough
all this really is, is an extra prize/reward for people that spend alot on sc
but maybe not 50 for a lb, 40 is alittle better..

i only get 2 sc items per month. A red bell and an imp tail. If i recycle them everytime they expire i will get less then 10 coupons each time. So i will need 6+ months to get 50 coupons and i might not get a perm from the lucky ball....
How is that fair?
And about those events that give the 3 day sc items...not everyone can attend those. For example im Europian so all the events are at 1am-3am my time and i'd be fast asleep at that time coz i'd have work in the morning.
I dont think 50 coupons is fair to a lot of people because it can take several months to get 50 coupons. I really think they should make it 30 coupons :/
Not everyone likes to waste hundreds and thousands of dollars per month on 5+ sc costumes and tons of lucky balls to get perms....I'd be so happy if i someday manage to collect 50 coupons and get my very first perm (and probably only)

Yeah. I just did it, and I got 50 coupons easy. Then I got doggie ears. DX So I traded em in for more coupons. XDDD

OK peeps hers the results of my perm purge; 128 Mystic Flask of Health, 115 Mystic Flask of Magic, 332 Lucky Ball Trading Coupon! That will allow me to purchase 6 Lucky Ball R's. SO now i need your help! There are Blue, Red and Green LB's, should I purchase 2 of each color, or 6 of one for better chances at the perm from that color? Please let me know what you think I want to purchase them soon! Maybe Epic Wings are in them!
O.o there are doggy ears and a martian outfit!
Ok I bought 3 Blue and got; Divine Mystic Flask x250, Mystic Flask Set (150 of each Flask), Doggie Ears 30D *** they are not Perm!?
I also bought 3 Green and got; Martian Gift Set 30D (Helm and Suit), Martian Suit 30D, and Martian Suit Perm lol.

oh no - im only getting less than 10 coupons / month. *cry*
gimme a break - before this, expired items were USELESS - COMPLETELY USELESS.
now you're getting something for it and you're still whining. how is that FAIR to the gms?
after putting in so much work implement the system they get a bunch of ungrateful whiners. heck - if i was the gm - i'd block this function for players like you. teach you a good lesson lol.
f.y.i - permanent items are a luxury, not a right. you buy lbs = gambling for the permanent item,
not guarenteed the permanent item.
on the other hand - imho - the recycle girl could use a bit of tweaking ^^ - 35 coupons maybe :)

Nah Pooch. Each ticket is worth 5 drops in the game. So if you put in a perm, and get 10 tickets, you have 50 drops. See what I mean?

PLINKO FTW lol
This is addicting. Fun game outspark. Its so funny watching a very light player run fast to recycle girl only to attempt the "Fatty" run away after getting flasks.

well, first of all i'd like to say that this recycle girl is an awesome idea. expired items were useless.. untill now!
my very own problem is that i can't buy sc items (parents T.T). i can't get items from events very often - i'm european, so it's not the best time for me to paritcipate ;)
i think 50 is ok but then it really should be a 70-80% chance for a perm item. it will take a wihle to collect them, but it's worh then.
for people who can buy sc items it's even more fair if the chance for a perm item is high because they really spend money on this game! real real money :P
so all in all i think 50 is ok, if the lucky balls r would have a 70-80% for a permanent item (100% is a bit too uch)
well, that's my point of view :P

One thing that would be really nice would be if they would lower the weight of the Flasks. 20lbs seems really excessive to me. I wouldn't mind getting flasks, but even with a SC backpack, I can't really carry those around. So please? Be nice to this weak little cleric and make them lighter?
Also, I've noticed one of the complaints is what you get for Perms you already have. I think if you trade in a perm, you shouldn't have to play the mini-game... you should be able to just trade a perm for one of the Lucky Balls straight across. That seems more fair for the money investment involved in having a perm. Course if they did that, then they WOULD need to lower the number of tickets needed, since you would only be getting an average of 2.5 tickets per item. Thats 20 items for even one LB. Pretty pricey.

I've looked over everything said here, and I agree with most of it. 50 coupons is most definately excessive, but worth it if perm % chance would be like 75% from the lucky balls. If we can't do that, then lowering the coupons needed to like 30 or 35 would be awesome too. I've been saving up my coupons since summer of 2009 and I've only got about 25 coupons... It's gonna take me forever just to get one lucky ball, say anything about a perm from that lucky ball.
I sincerely hope that the GM's will look into this and help us out.
