The fact people can take tickets and you have to fight and have an argument about it really shows that there's a discourse inevitable in systems like Agile.

Who gets the 'tickets', why are 'tickets' always ruling people, when will 'tickets' be more like working for your own company?

The fact is the tickets themselves are acting like a virtual currency of which only one person gets, exclusively.

If more than one person could work on a ticket this would solve the problem, but the fact that people are locked out and it's exclusive makes them an argumentative point and causes greed/habits to form.

Fix the tickets, not the people. All the credit and satisfaction comes from this one point.

Fighting over a ticket isn't an agile issue. In fact this the opposite of agile.

The developer at standup/meeting/story kickoff should of explained the situation and asked to work on the ticket himself or pair on it. Problem solved.
