Seems they make your DP go down faster when you are not logged in or some such thing.

I think the dp tickets works by doubling or tripling the dp you lose per mob/ per day.

It's definitely not in-game. I have 1M DP and mid DP Pact. The DP repayment is still approximately experience gained * (level of action used/10). Looks like its off-line only... :(

I don't like that the system basically encourages you to log off. I'd much rather a system that encouraged you to keep playing.

For example, the amount of DP that is paid back each time you do something that would have given experience could be multiplied by 1.5, 2, and 2.5 for the different levels of tickets. This would encourage you to buy the ticket and keep playing rather than encouraging you to buy the ticket and log off.

the new dp removal system works like this....

you now gradually lose dp when doing nothing, which is a great idea if your dying alot in an event and you get annoyed and log off atleast when you come back later your dp will have gone down alot and what better way to speed it up than with a dp removal ticket ;P

i had 300k dp earlier used a ticket and went to the 5v5 team pvp event by the end of the event and chatting my dp had alrdy half gone and i hadnt killed a thing.

I agree completely and dont understand why they would have tickets that just speed up the natural rate. This current system does nothing for the avid gamer. :(

The system is set up to help the casual gamer. I think this is great as most games ignore the casual gamer. I do think that they should have added two different kinds of tickets though, one for the casual player (current) and one for a more active player. This would have been better, though this is a start.

Just buy dp ticket before you go to a rp event. You are clear when event ends :)

It is not that bad. Had about 550k DP. We killed some and my DP went down to 5k when team was down again. While lieing there i got the message that DP is gone :D
So one can say that those 5k where cleared within some minutes doing nothing.
