So, when you win an RL your messages are already disabled.

But with the new introduction of the comment box, people are now using that to harass winners into selling their RL, or they'll send tons of trade requests!

My suggestion is private trades and comment boxes are ALSO disabled, like messages.

This is to avoid new users who win RLs to avoid harassment and the likelihood of being scammed by hoarders and... Well known scammers.

~~~

Alternatively, make it so you cannot search for the RL for two weeks! It'll show up blank if you put in her traits (this will probably affect her cubs as well, as you can also find the RL through them so it wouldn't be,,, bad)

~~~

Additionally; Tell the worth of the lion to the user who wins. Give an estimate or just say this lion is worth very much! They're always generally over 1k, so maybe give an estimate around there?

"Congratulations! You won this week's Raffle Lioness! If you choose to sell her, make sure to avoid being scammed! Your lioness is incredibly expensive, if you choose to sell her make sure to look for a rough estimate of 1,000-2,000 GB! Or you can look for a clan dedicated to raffle lionesses to ask. Your comment box, private trades, and private messages have all been disabled to protect you from harassers and scammers!"



This suggestion has 98 supports and 1 NO support.

Most of the winners of raffle lionesses are new players, they do not know HOW to turn those off!

The messages tells them how to turn it on if they wish, this is a safety precaution to protect them from being taken advantage of.

Plus, it might take them a while to roll over which allows HUNDREDS of players to find them and start harassing them, which is why this needs to be implemented.

Huge support! I definitely think comment boxes should be turned off along with pms- pms are turned off so the raffle lioness winner isn't harassed/spammed with pms, but now people can reach out to them via comment boxes if they have them enabled. Which imo, kinda defeats the purpose of turning off pms!

I agree! I was surprised when the implemented comment boxes they didn't give it the same rule as messages!

Of everything, TRADES need to be disabled the most. A player with only a month or two of experience receiving a private trade with 500 GB in it, and all they need to offer is the free lioness they just got? What a deal!! It's sneakier than using the comment box, since no other users will see it.

Also, I somewhat disagree with the message including a base value like 2000 GB - some lionesses can be worth well over that, while others will barely scrape above 1500 depending on their individual traits. I don't think the mods would assign a specific value since it's all subjective.

I agree!

Also regarding price, that's just what I've seen RLs be generally put at
They used to be 1000, now they're getting up to 2000
It is subjective but I think,,, at least an estimate based on what they're usually sold at is good crutch
OR, we could have it where they say "or, find a clan dedicated to raffle lionesses to find help on pricing if you wish to sell her or her heats!"

I think it's good to put some disclaimer about how valuable these lions are so folks don't get robbed of the full value. Yes, it is on them to check before selling, but if we can make things smoother and easier for people, we should!

I think the raffle lioness price will continue to fluctuate, so not an exact number, but some kind of note that they're very valuable.

The game shouldnโ€™t be telling players the exact โ€œvalueโ€ of any items. Knowing how to navigate and price-check things is a part of the social gameplay, and the economy always fluctuates. So the โ€œ2000gb!โ€ comment is a bit cringeworthy imo

By joining the raffle, you accept the possibility of winning, and the repercussions of it. โ€œMake sure to not get scammed!โ€ is just a really pitiful message.
Perhaps a less patronizing thing, would be for the โ€œNew Lioness!โ€ message to contain a link to the Lioden Wiki page for Raffle Lionesses, so that the player can read through it and learn themselves that RLs are valuable because of this and that.

But yes, since the mods have already gone out of their way to disable PMs for RL winners, itโ€™s weird that Private Trades and Comments arenโ€™t disabled along with itโ€ฆ

I support, because I hope that I can win a RL someday -- and as someone with really bad anxiety, constant messages about the lioness I'd just won would make it difficult to play this game without blocking several users.

So I 100000% agree with this suggestion -- not just to prevent new players from being scammed, but to help prevent other people from being overwhelmed with messages.

@kirill

"By joining the raffle, you accept the possibility of winning, and the repercussions of it"

Being scammed should NOT be a repercussion for a fun game. Many people don't know worth or they don't dabble in the RL market at all, the looking into RLs is helpful but you didn't need to be rude... Currently that IS the prices of RLs, that's why I suggested it, or I put 1,000-2,000 because that is usually where her price falls and has been for the past years. It's not shameful or rude to the new player to be told "hey be wary, here's an idea of your girl" so they avoid being scammed. It is in no way pitiful.

And Price checking can be a really confusing thing here on lioden with other players, because again, people will try to scam. This has happened before, "oh she's worth 200 GB, oh she's not worth much :/ maybe a pickle and a chewed fry?" I would also like to point out mods HAVE put prices out for player items/lions. They've commented and said groupies are usually sold for 10 GB.

Right. I think if we can make the game easier and more delightful for people, without horrible market and gameplay repercussions... which this isn't... we should. People ARE responsible for price checking, yes, but it's nice to have a rough idea at least. I am concerned that if the price fluctuates that the message won't keep up, but if it's implemented, that's something for admins to be worried about.

And yes, price checking can be really mean, and some people will absolutely take advantage of a new person being like
"lol what's this funny lioness worth"

Yeah, that's my concern too but the prices have been generally the same for the time I've been playing, but the mods can also consult big clans or player base for updates on prices for RLs as prices will fluctuate

Lots of the mods also DO play the game as well, some might be in the RL market and can keep up with it!
