You ever take a gander at the Giveaway chat?

Did you ever click on the claims, and realize it's the same 5 people mass claiming every post?

You ever check to see the lions that were claimed, only to realize they were chased/killed/reserved? That the person was only mass claiming with the hope of getting something special, like a mutie? That they don't even look at the links they're claiming for, hoarding the things that people are giving away in the hopes to help another player?

Well, maybe we should put a cooldown on that!

This would suggest a minute or two cooldown on each claim, actually making it so that people had to think before mashing the claim button repeatedly. That resources sent out by players would actually be distributed evenly to other players who needed them!

I figure this would make the most sense, considering the Giving Tree, one of the main features of Lioden, has a cooldown of 1 item per hour, and 1 cub *per day!* It makes sense to have at the very least, a minute cooldown between each claim. I would also be open to an "x per hour" or "x per day" claiming cooldown as well!

If you have any suggestions, comments, concerns, or anything, feel free to post below! I'm happy to answer whatever questions may be had. :)



This suggestion has 58 supports and 10 NO supports.

why not we just add a maximum claim like you can only claim 5 times per hour or 5 times 2 hours!

Definitely an option! My first idea was 5 per hour, but someone pointed out that if you claim and miss (or the poster doesn't send), it wouldn't be very fair. So a minute or two cooldown, I think, is a more fitting idea!

I dont know, I think that individuals posting giveaways can deal with these situations by themselves pretty easily if they choose. This new thing would apply to all users including ones who really do just want to take in a bunch of cubs or whatever. I dont think it's fair to punish those people for the actions of a few bad ones. And it would make it harder for me to give away stuff too- I keep on posting giveaways for a bunch of cubs and i barely get any claims as is. Most of the claimers I do get *Do* end up keeping the cubs. If they didnt, i wouldnt care, because the goal is to just get rid of a bunch of cubs without reducing their stats like the giving tree does.

Im 50/50 on this like what if a new player needed food + amusment items and they wanted to claim both, but the cd wouldn't let them? But then again those new players wouldnt have a chance if people where spam claiming argh! But I'm going with support, so there could be like a max per blank amount of time such as : 5 claims per 30mins to an hour or a penelty for spam claiming?

@Marten

I will relent that there are a fair amount of people who post, say, "all cubs in unsorted/cave/named this are free!" that don't get a lot of claims, and that's purely because the people doing what I talked about in the original post are lazy.

I've watched people repeatedly claim and claim and claim and every lion I've seen get sent to them is gone in a few minutes. The people who *do* want a lot of cubs are going to be more receptive to posts such as the above example, and this would only effect those who actually do abuse the mass claiming mechanic.

@Sprout

A penalty for spam claiming may be hard to enforce, but I definitely am for a "x amount of claims per x time" as a mechanic! There also are a fair amount of people I do see in giveaways that use PMs rather than claims, so there would still be an opportunity for players in that situation to benefit.
