Okay, so: this may sound a little strange, but I am suggesting a complete overhaul of the raffle system to work more like raffles in forums. (To eliminate the need for raffles in forums) My main suggestion points are: -Being able to set how many tickets each item is worth (i.e Buffy Ball for 30 tickets vs CRB for 1 ticket) - -Be able to edit these amounts - -Already suggested here - -And here - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here *EDIT: recent controversy on the thread has led me to believe that this needs clarification. If you use a Buffy Ball as a ticket, you will be entered to win 30 times. If you use a CRB, you will be entered once, is what I am trying to illustrate. Another scale would be one lucky foot is one ticket. Entering with a GB would give you three tickets. Entering with a Instant Birth feather would give you six, etc. However, ticket values for each item would be set by the hosting player. Once ratios are set at the start of a raffle, the system would then count the person for the correct number of tickets when they buy in with the item. No human error involved beyond accidently setting 5sb as 10 tickets and 1gb as 1. *END EDIT* -Unlimited number of item tickets -Caps for certain item types (i.e Only 30 Roasted Lamb) - - Related: Ticket Type limit -Being able to edit tickets to add new items or remove them. (Oh, I like this new applicator but it wasn't out when I started the raffle and now I have too many tickets to cancel and start again.) - -Already suggested Here. -Auto-run raffle once -blank- amount of tickets are purchased. - -Already suggested here -Remove two-day restriction on raffles containing lions. (Double-edged sword here. They must declare some end date.) -BE ABLE TO WITHDRAW TICKETS (Can't tell you how many times I accidentally bought a ticket with my side account and had to cancel a really promising raffle.) - -Already suggested here - -and here - -And here - -and here EDIT: By suggestion of Triste and Torquil, and as seen in the other threads, have a window of time in which tickets can be withdrawn, I'm going to suggest 30 minutes. -Be able to enter with multiple item tickets at once - -Already suggested here. - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here - -and here Please Comment suggestions to improve, and if you don't support, why beyond "It would be too much work for the coders/mods." |

Support very much! Although, it should be included for the withdraw tickets one for there to be a 'safe period' especially if it's only a mistake, since those points were brought up in the linked threads 0 players like this post! Like? |

Support for everything but the withdraw ticket option, unless the option was incredibly strict, like you can only withdraw within five minutes. Reveres mistakes but doesn't allow for buyer's remorse. 0 players like this post! Like? |

I highly don't support this for several reasons. The first, whether you say not to say this or not it is a glaring fact and therefor must be said: It is a lot of work for the admins when the raffles are already fine. While I do agree that the ability to edit is needed so you don't have to cancel a raffle to add something, I think there's a reason the raffle system is different than these "forum raffles". I'm not sure if this is the actual reason but on Lioden, when it comes to items not worth direct SB, GB or event beetles, the pricing of items vary from person to person. What's worth 5GB to me is often set at 25GB, which I find ridiculous. Because of this great differentiation in opinions and especially demand for certain items, the raffles as they stand are fair. You can't alter it based on what you think, it's the same for everyone. You have the option to make it a GB/special item ticket specific raffle or make it an SB ticket only raffle, and that's all you need. Also, you can write in your description you'll cancel if you don't get enough of whatever it is you want. Pure and simple. Raffles are random and if you have good enough items to offer your payout will be worth it. These forum raffles are ridiculous in my opinion because, well, it's all opinion. Say someone is selling Buffalo Scortum for 80GB, which is an actual current listing! This, in my opinion, is crazy. There are SO many items that only come around once a year that are priced so ridiculously I almost want to throw in the towel on the community. Interstellar Remnants I have seen for 100GB, wtf is that? That's bs that's what it is. So to give members "control" over a raffle that already has a good system is... selfish. You want the admins to edit something not for convenience, but for your own personal currency gain to be what you think you deserve for hoarding an item until it's highly sought after. If you aren't happy with the raffle system, use the forums to do it your way. This is a really selfish idea, in my opinion. It's greedy, is the proper word. 0 players like this post!
