Pfft, who cares? It's 2k. You make that in a map or so.

You think it will stop at 2k?

Only for the poor players. Those who are rich and got lots of gold should only get 10%

You have to sell 1000 tickets to not be putting more money into the economy? Sounds kinda high..maybe you should have to buy minimum 10 tickets. Or make the prize pool like 80% of total money spent by players on tickets
If you have ranged troubles use this:

Yeah, that's what I thought. I don't even care if the prize is 5,000g and I have a 1:100 chance of winning. It's 2,000 gold, what kind of scrubby scrooge are you if you can't afford to lose that?

What if the prize increased when tickets are bought, but on an exponential curve where the payout gives a worse investment:prize ratio? Like if you were the first person to buy a ticket for 100g the prize would be 1,000g. But if you were the 10th person to buy a ticket, the prize would be 6,800g. Just throwing numbers out there, but does that make sense?

Even if the rates made it so you had terrible chances of winning by the time the prize was big, wouldn't you be tempted to buy a ticket as you watched the numbers rise over the week? I know I would.

Also I made back my 2,000g while I typed this post.  :lol:

If you don't lose money at x5, you aren't trying hard enough. You are cement shoes, pulling your team to the bottom.

This is a great new feature. Excellent gold sink. Maybe even add special gear you can win that is not available in the shop. That would REALLY make people buy tickets (those tickets should be more expensive though).

Hey lets not

Why not. They don't have to be OP items or items that cause unbalance among other items.
Just special rare items that only pops up at lotterys.

Imagine the price on those. 3mil atleast.

Why would it matter to you or anyone not interested in it? If you aren't interested in it don't buy tickets for it. 'Problem' solved.

I think that´s a pretty interesting Idea, but imo it should be a rather useless item, like a diadem or a crown, and only one of it.Having more than one Special lottery items sucks.

Maybe it woud be better for me to find out where you life and kill you when you are satch a Soziopath. You have enough now.
