Now, I know a lot of you probably gawked at the title, but hear me out!

The RL raffle ticket prices should be raised to one GB.

1. The current 50 SB price feels more like an annoyance, rather than an actual fee. It might as well be a free ticket with it being so low.

2. It prevents a lot of new players from entering the raffle. At first, this might sound like a bad thing, but really it isn't. A lot of new players do not understand the value of raffle lionesses (As we saw lately with the Soul RL) and may be yelled at or bullied for changing their lioness. Not to mention, it can really stress out a new player to be bombarded with people asking to buy their lion.

3. It gives older players a chance to win. There are several people who joined in 2014-2016 who have never won an RL, despite how many times they've entered into the raffle. Now, I'm not saying that they deserve it just for joining earlier than others, but it would feel more fair to give them a better chance at winning. Older players tend to have more currency than newer players & especially with the recent boom in players, there should be more of a chance for older players to still win.

4. It balances out the economy. The game has only 1 real GB sink - The oasis. This poses a problem bc as players purchase more GB without a place for it to go, the value of GB significantly drops. The oasis essentially stops the circulation of some GB, but it's still not enough. By making there be a weekly 1 GB fee to enter into the Lioness Raffle, it creates another GB sink & raises the value of it. This is especially helpful now with the way that piebald and primal prices have plummeted, if GB goes up, the value of those lions does too.

5. It's good for the company. There will be people who constantly buy GB to enter into the raffle. This would be another way to fund the game, and compared to how much people pay to purchase RLs, their heats, or their clones, it's an extremely small price to pay.

6. It's good for those who enter. Less of the site will be able to afford purchasing a ticket, meaning that there will be a significantly higher chance to win when you do enter. Not to mention, those who are less well off will be more selective on which raffles they enter, meaning that there will be even less competition. Not to mention that if a player were to win an RL, those can easily go for 1k GB each. Meaning, you'll be reimbursed for that 1 GB about a thousand times. Not such a steep price, huh?

7. GB isn't that hard to get. Food can be accumulated through explore or hunting & even selling it to monkey business can get you a lot of SB to turn into GB quick! The game would be further rewarding players who play the game the way it was intended by offering a special raffle that they could enter. New players who are dedicated to it could still make 1 GB by the end of the week.
