OK, guys! There's still hope! Here what I found out today

I thought they've plugged the hole on the TW servers yesterday, but this morning I found out I start to get 4~5 tickets in a half an hour cycle. So I tried to think what could the new trigger be...

Today I tried all the followings and none of them seems to work

Switch to housing channel and back to same channel before

Log in and out between character select screen and one same channel

Log in and out between start up log in screen and one same channel
Note: Yesterday even with being kicked back to log in screen because I switch too fast, my timers wasn't reseted on the TW server

Switch characters to same channel

Switch characters to different channels and then back to channel before

One same character cycle through all channels a few times

Log in and out between one same channel and move around a bit and/or switching to farm

All of the above I've tried on two PCs with two different accounts for 5~10 times then wait for a half an hour and see what happens. Only one gave me one extra ticket in a half an hour cycle. Since I had to log out and do something in my real life, the one which gets 4~5 tickets this morning didn't give me that anymore, even with all the above tricks

Please, anybody with any ideas are welcomed
Anybody who can tell me or lead me to the right direction would make me a very happy man, thanks in advance

This method is patched in TW server
The new method is much more troublesome. You need to go to shadow mission and then switch to the channel that you want to receive ticket. However, if you get kicked off, you need to restart it form 1 ticket

I tried both, but shouldn't make much different.
When I tried all these without waiting, I did end up getting a few extra tickets.
The problem was, I couldn't figure out what was the new trigger.

Thanks! I'm trying it right now
After the second shadow mission switch, the Mabi client closed on me
What a way to start

May I ask in a bit more detail? Just to make sure

So...
1, Log into any channel
2, Go into shadow mission
3, Switch to Ch.X
4, After being kicked out of shadow mission because of CC, switch to any channel
5, back to step 2

I'll keep trying and report back if any success

I just heard it from others and i hv not test it

Finally, and finally, I got it !
I'm getting 30 tickets for every half hour cycle in the TW server now
Here's how I did it, even with less then 42 hours, I hope it does help some folks who still haven't got a rainbow box yet

1, Log on to Ch.X (say Ch.4 or Ch.11 that are less crowded in TW servers)
2, Wait until you the first ticket (say you log in at 00:30 and got your first ticket at 01:00)
3, Wait until one minute before you get another ticket (say you got the first one at 01:00, wait until 01:29), switch to housing channel and back to Ch.X
NOTE: Make sure you go back to channel before the first ticket (01:30) comes again, or you will lose it!
4, Start from step 1 again until you get tickets every minute, and make sure you have enough space to catch them all

POINT:
- Make sure you're in Ch.X every time you expect a ticket, or you will lose that ticket (timer)
- DO NOT rush while switching channels, if kicked back to log in screen with a "You are logged in, do you want to send log out request" message, then you'll have to start all over again. That's why I always walk a step or two to make sure my client and/or server connection are not lagging
- From all my trial and errors, I believe all TW server patched was any channel switch less then 15~20 minutes apart will not trigger a new timer, that's why I keep the channel switch as far apart as possible

Hope the above helps, and wish you all good luck
I blow three reds and never got a rainbow so far, so please wish me some luck if this works for you

Who cares what time you relog(Seriously, just keep relogging untill you get a ticket.), just keep changing channels to the same channel for a solid 30 minutes and you're good to go with ticket spam.

That might apply to NA servers, but definitely not for TW servers after two patches in two days.

Repeat relogging into same channel for 30min in TW servers now would only bring you one extra ticket per half an hour, and a very good chance of kicked back to login screen and have to start all over again.

Doesn't matter if you're kicked to login, add also it goes by logins to the channel, the only time you stop getting them is when you miss that ticket and the cycle for that certain timer cancels.

Yes if only a simple back to log in screen where you can log right back in.

No if you get a send log out request and a wait 30 second message then can't log right back in.

Again, after two patches in TW server, switching channels every minute did not get me much extra tickets other then the last one of that chain.

Knowing that, then why should I risk losing timers I've already set up to log in and out for nothing?
