I agree with quite a few people here. I spend all my holiday tokens on wheel tickets, and the most useful item I ever got out of that thing was 5 Standard Traps... The 2 Masterful Traps I have, I bought from the Valentine Merchant.

Haha I wish I was one of those people! I get consolation prizes 10 times in a row before I decide tickets are useless. But, it's your game. And whatever you do with it I'm sure it will be fine. You always find ways to better the game.

Maybe the new layout for it will be more kind to players that cant get on as often as others. It be nice to have a type of quest you have to complete for fragments or something to be combined to open up something or continue the quest line.
Though even if not for pets a quest line for a title or a way to split up the event would be a fun addition I think. Then it not so bad the grinding.
Like for Easter it be fun to have a quest line kinda like a scavenger hunt taking you all over sylestia, from simple easy one that could be buying basic items from different cities, to maybe a temp item added to bandits and such in different zones as we run around looking for certain colored eggs in different zones, or maybe a few lost Easter bunnies would be fun to :)

i get what he's saying, i found myself in the stables of a player who had not been on for even a month yet, and she had a tagged passion fruit puff, a pretty nice one to. i myself have never gotten anything but traps and philters, but i still get what he's saying

I am fairly new to the game as well but i spun the wheel with over 30 tickets and then bought 15 of the diamond tickets and got traps and philters two pet dyes so I feel wasted my time and money but I guess I am not lucky.

There seems to be some confusion regarding the reasoning for the wheel's current departure.
A lot of you have posted saying that you've received nothing but traps, philters, mutators, dyes, etc. That's what I actually meant by premium items. For those using Lucky tickets, they'll be receiving a lot of the Diamond Shop versions. For those using regular tickets, it would be the Scale Shop/regular versions. You can also toss Essences into the mix.
That's the problem. =P It's causing all of those items to become worth very little and have very little demand. We would prefer to create a wheel that's more Themed Pet heavy rather than consumable heavy.

Overall I do think this is a great idea to change features and do something different from the same old wheel. But I guess my worry is like it is no matter what; people who have more money can afford way more of the premium items and more chances of getting the special pets. The only reason this is my concern is because since I've been on Sylestia, I have loved how players who don't spend money can still have a chance at premium items and fest pets if they put a lot of time into the game.
I honestly would love to see Sylestia stay in a more user friendly light than a business. I certainly understand that you guys(Fai and Krin) and your staff have to make something and the more you make, the more you can implement new things/hire new people/do good things for the site in general. XD I'm mentioning this because I hope whatever new feature is implemented will be similar to the wheel and other fests in that users who can't afford a ton of lucky tickets or other premium things can still have a shot to win- I hope it isn't decreased is what I'm saying, to favor content that you must pay for.
I also understand the concept of having diamond currency in the first place- its a source of revenue but players get the good stuff in return! They get special items and essences and much higher chances at winning wheel pets or the jackpot. I just never want to see Sylestia turn into a site based on capital instead of being just a really awesome pet game like it is now.
Sorry for the wall of text- I hope that sort of explained my feelings! I'm not trying to rant on anything, just hoping to share my opinion.

@Krinadon
I think that having more pets rather than consumables is a great idea and would probably drive up the demand for Lucky Tickets rather then down.
Maybe make options for spinning current festival egglings of various visables as well as a much less common option of a one visible (sometimes two?) of past fests.
That way it doesn't devalue pets from past fests very much, but it still allows new mutations to enter the bloodlines.
Maybe even make past wheel pets a possibility at such probabilities that only three or four are released total during the fest.
Things I would enjoy receiving from the wheel: Current/Past Festival Avatar Items
Pets - Any Kind
Essences - (Though I understand if you feel there are too many out there).
A Title - "Wheel Royalty" for spinning a wheel pet or something like that.
