GC Prizes and Ticket Stockpiling

[BlackSolider]

1.5 would be better than 2. Then again I'm not a math major so idk.

But yes, all the gc prizes we have (outside of like 4) are completely useless and just for looks. Yes, numerous people have stockpiled excessive amounts of tickets.

Both problems need to be solved at the same time, and this idea looks pretty solid. But (as far as I read) this idea implies leaving the current tickets as is. That's great and all, but we'd have a significant group of people that could all have the same items from the start. Value starts from only a few people having it, and everyone else wanting it, and therefor working to get it (think of when xbox360 or ps3 came out, you had to go to your friends house when they got one; now everyone has one and its no big deal.)

Ideally I want it so that even the current 'super hoarders' could only buy 4 or 5 of the 10 items at the start, and to purchase the 6th it would take a significant amount of tickets on top (a few hundred). Maybe some people will start with 5 items (for example), but that doesn't mean they will each choose the same set of 5 as everyone else. This would mean there's always at least one item which their rival has but they don't, and would give them something to work towards. The 10th item would likely be so expensive as to be almost impossible to obtain, so the challenge of trying to obtian all 10 first could be seen as a competition in its own right.
