I'm gonna /try/ and keep this short just for the sake of simplicity. xD

But i was thinking, it would be a neat idea to be able to implement the option to select how many tickets a GB or item entry for raffles is worth. a lot of people feel the need to post raffles in forums ( which to me seems like a lot of unnecessary work when we have a raffle section ) Just so they can adjust how many tickets you get per GB or item entry.
So what if when you're selecting items for tickets when creating a raffle, you could choose how many tickets each item would give, this would allow you to get several tickets for a single item entry if it was something more pricy, like say buffy balls. most people don't want to offer up something like that just for a single ticket if there are SB options which are obviously much much cheaper. Would be nice to be able to select how many tickets you'd get for GB as well, since SB is worth considerably less than GB.
I feel having the option to choose the worth of tickets would help encourage more bigger entries as well as make the participants feel they have a more fair chance without losing too much in the process if they don't win.

For example-
In general, the prices of items and GB fluctuates a lot, GB is commonly between 1000SB - 1900SB, if you value 1GB to be 1000SB, and your tickets were say, 100SB, you could make the 1GB ticket worth 10 tickets, so its around the same value as the SB tickets would be if someone were to buy 10 SB tickets.

Of course this would be completely optional for the person making the raffle, they could select 1 ticket for every entry options like it is right now by default if they wanted, but i think it would be pretty beneficial for both host and participant, to be able to choose when creating your raffle.

There could be some adjustments made to this idea, like if someone wanted 5SB tickets as the base ticket, value wise that would be like 200 tickets for 1GB which doesn't seem fair to those who don't have a lot of SB or GB to throw around, perhaps there is a cap at like 30-50ish tickets per item, because their value is way high, and 15-20 cap tickets per GB? ( obviously this could also be adjusted, those numbers are just examples, they don't have to be that if there even was a cap )
obviously the worth is up to the creator, but it would still be smart to compare ticket value between SB/GB/items as the participant prior to entering to make sure the worth is accurate or at least close to it.
like a great tit is only worth like 1-5 GB and buffy balls are often around 30GB, so as the creator you would need to adjust their ticket value based on item value, you're not gonna wanna give 30 tickets for a 1GB worth item and the same for a 30GB worth item. that's essentially what it is now where everything is valued at 1 ticket.

This idea already exists in raffle threads, so i don't see why it couldn't be added to the actual raffle section.

Sorry to bring up an old post, but 10000% agree. It'd also help those of us with working memory issues and can't remember JUST how much we sold our soul for that GMO or buffy XD
