For a few people, yes, but those are the people who already spend large amounts of time online and just simply haven't got the NPC yet. You still have other groups of players to consider, like people who simply don't have the time to put into events.

Though this isn't really on topic, the whole GC ticket system was rendered useless when players inflated the 'economy' by holding onto large amounts of tickets. One ticket is no longer a worthy incentive, you have to get two or three tickets for even the most minor events. I tried hosting a unofficial trivia and couldn't get anybody to play until I offered an insane amount of tickets.

They should have been capped years ago, we'd have riots if we tried to place one now.
