Minecraft Name: D4NTE_3 Suggestion: Longer lengths of time until lottery is drawn (possibly an hour). Reason: I've been wanting to say this for a while. This is obviously an Economy server. I'm sure everyone sees that. What some might not be seeing is that many people (specifically those with higher ranks) make most of their money off lottery. So my suggestion is that lottery draw times are extended. Any Other Information: When was the last time those people really worked for something they wanted? All it takes is /lot buy <high number> and BOOM theres 100k. This will last a few days until they need more money. Most of you will probably say "lottery is for the rich" or something. But really, how did most of these people get rich? Finally i would like to say that I'm not posting this out of anger that i usually lose lottery (i hardly participate nowadays) but because this is what i feel is right. This seems more like a "get lots of money for lottery" server. Link To This Plugin: N/A
in my opinion i think the lottery is just fine every 15 minutes money is taken out of the economy which is good i guess and players would barely make money if lotto was every hour think about so many people play lotto like myself i always have my clock set for 14 minutes 2 play if it was a hour i wouldn't be able to make money cause the lotteries would be huge due to the time it would have to build up money
exactly my point. "i wouldn't be able to make money." what im trying to say is that this server shouldn't have times so soon because people might make lottery their primary money source.
i think hardcore lotto players would be upset if this happened 15 minutes a great time the tax is fine and either way the lotto could never be a primary money maker because everyone loses there is one person that has played lotto and hasnt lost i make money from lot every day and guess what i lose it so i go mine to make my money again and play lotto again and try 2 get my luck on
Ok epis i see what youre saying. But i just think this server would be more economy-like if lottos werent so often.
No one can really make money off lotto ask all the big lotto players they lose money, someone one tickets them. xX3PICREBELXx for example has recorded over 1 mil loss in lottery. Sooner lotteries are also great for the server as they take more money from tax and steal more from the rich.
And the Anti-Snipe thing. .-. I personally like 15 minute lotteries. Things move along a lot quicker.
All of you are missing the point and i dont know how to explain it to you any clearer. I'm sorry if you cant understand this. People do lose money off of lot, yes i know that. But they've acquired so much that, unless they snipe all of their money, the loss wont matter much to them.
Do you understand probability everyone should lose tax on the lotto overall. The people who make money are lucky and the people who lose money are unlucky but in the end lotto takes money from the economy. Why would andrewkm make it so less money is taken out of the economy, that would just lead to inflation. The only people to make money off lotto are the lucky people who win massive lottos with small amount of tickets such as dwite12 and zardgyer. The more lottos the more money out the economy andrewkm doesn't really care who it goes to. If you don't want to lose don't play. Also if you make lotto every hour it will just mean larger lottos where people can make more money, in no way will that stop people sniping every lotto. You have no proof about the earning money, many people such as xX3PICREBELXx net profit for lot is at least $-1,000,000. You assume people make money because they win 5 lots in a row but they only make 5k of each of those then if someone 1 tickets them they lose 30k meaning they lose money. I am sure everyone agrees lotto loses you money because there is not skill only probability, and the probability shows everyone should lose money because of tax.
Andrew should implement that you can not buy lotto tickets the last minute. So you would only be able to buy during 14 min. this will reduce lag and snipe. Lag will be reduced because you don't get a bazilion lotto notifictions due to snipers. Also I wish the lotto tickets would be only 100$ so that builders can join more easy. P.S. No this is not for myself, I quit the lottery after I lost 100K two times in a row.
Lotto is a money drain for the rich, sniping is important to take all the money otherwise you wouldn't get 1 mil lottos. Also if everyone knew it stopped you buying at 14 min they would just snipe then... Lotto is a bad thing why make it more accessible to the poor, so they can lose more money. No one wins at lotto it is like betting if some people win someone else has to lose. Everyone knows lotto is on the server as a way to take money out the economy why would he make it drain less money just so the poor can buy tickets. If you can't afford a ticket don't play simply.
