Title: Separate or Hide Skip Tickets that Cannot Be Used from Temporal Tina

Description:
We see this almost daily, someone buys all the skip tickets and assumes that they can just use them all right away. We have warnings saying they cant be - Its in the tickets. But ultimately its a matter of the unusable ones just being there next to the others, imo.

What if we hide or lock the tickets that cannot be used due to factors like needing to be completed manually first? This way, players that HAVE completed the story manually will see the tickets, but those that haven't will not and ultimately wont be able to buy the tickets.

Why is this a good idea?
No more "Why can't I use this ticket?" questions?

What risks or downsides does it have?
Possible "Where are episode 19+ tickets?" questions..

I think this is a good idea to prevent a lot of frustration on the player side. Its especially relevant because on some servers the episode tickets are always bugged to hell. New players are typically going to be the ones asking these questions so they're also the most likely to suspect poor implementation instead of it being quest gated content.

It's a good suggestion but I'm not sure if the implementation should be to hide unobtainable tickets (which will lead to questions about where to get them) or if they should be visible but colored grey or red to show they aren't purchasable by said character (which will lead to people asking why?)

Reading is the ultimate skill this suggestion is trying to circumvent but at least new players wont be out the zeny investment that they cant use.

I'd also add to this suggestion that the npc selling price for these tickets should be the same price as the buying price so that we'll just return them in case it cannot be used or the characters have already used the ticket

hoegenaamd Some may exploit it to use as a alternate trading currency over the diamond and 1m ticket (which have very slightly lower convert value). The selling price need to be a bit lower like 90% of its original price at least to prevent this.
