The thing about releases is that they don't please everyone. The lottery is there as an attempt to clean up tickets. If you're unsatisfied with the items, you don't necessarily have to buy a ticket or even acknowledge the lottery. It's something to look forward to on Classic at least, and better than do nothing.

Though in the end, I think Storm's idea probably was the most ideal one to go with (Thread is somewhere in the first or second page of the Classic forum).
