[Feedback] Event tickets

With the start of the first Wonder Pick event, Event Shop Tickets were introduced, together with three Meowth-themed items in the dedicated shop section. These can be obtained by completing a handful of event quests and from Bonus Picks, and are set to be entirely deleted once the current Wonder Pick event finishes (it says so on the app). The problem with this is that, once you have acquired all three items in the event shop (which doesn't take very long), the tickets you get from the Bonus Pick automatically become unusuable, giving you a 2/5 chance to get "nothing" from the pick.

What I'd like to see is some way to use these excess tickets once the event shop has been cleared. There could be, for example, an uncapped exchange in the event shop for hourglasses (of either of the three kinds), normal shop tickets or even shinedust. If you'd rather not have an exchange in the shop that could discourage people from prioritising the event cosmetics, the trade could be done automatically and only when the event tickets expire.

As of right now, my understanding is that all those Bonus Picks where I happened to pick an event ticket rather than something else will essentially be "wasted" once these tickets expire, as there is no way for me to get anything out of them, and that feels kind of bad.

    Even after the second part of the event was released, the ability to trade in tickets for Shinedust was capped. And even though there were new cosmetics added to the event shop, the additional missions gave more than enough event tickets to compensate. This means that we are STILL left with a lot of extra tickets that feel worthless - and that make selecting them in a wonder pick feel like a loss. Please add an uncapped way to trade in event tickets - or as Black lamb suggested, let us know they'll convert at the end of the event - so they don't become useless. Even if it was at some absurdly disadvantageous ratio, it would be better than being able to do nothing with them.

    Yes, at minimum that Shinedust shouldn't had a 20x cap... at least we wouldn't be having useless tickets.

    I guess now it's too late, but I hope they improve this kind of useless tickects situation in future events.

    +1 i have plenty of excess tickets left even after purchasing everything. Please exchange them for shop tickets or let us exchange them to something at the event expiration
