The Classic Lottery

This project never was intended to increase playercount. Classic's only economy has always been ticket based. In recent times that economy was ruined and I find this to be a creative way of restoring that. It by far beats plan b of doing a ticket reset (been through that twice now and it sucks) and removing everyone's GC items or having a tiered pricing policy. There will always be a few people that just want to hold their tickets and that's fine. If you want to have 1500 tickets and be able to brag about having the most, go for it! But the rest of us would rather have toys to play with.

Kudo's to the members of the staff team that were involved in this particular project. Whether the release is considered small or large, I don't care. All things done to improve the quality of a server become a part in the overall increase of playercount in time.

Ya bell, I've heard that one before.

Or instead of ripping us all off of our hard earned tickets, they could just keep making fun toys to buy with tickets.

How do you even know people will buy into the lottery? If they realize that they could get more for their buck if the dev was doing what has always been done and just kept updating the GC prize room, we probably wouldn't have a ticket stockpile problem.

Is this complicated? I feel people are taking things to extreme sometimes. For instance this..
"omg people have way to many tickets"
"Oh ticket economy on graal is plummeting!"
"New managers try to think of way to save graal economy!!!"
"Lottery idea thought up! Means to save Graal economy!"
"Lottery implemented! Spend lots of tickets to possibly win a prize!"
"People find out lottery idea is really a scam to make you waste tickets"
"People rather just buy new GC prizes to keep themselves occupied!"
"People pissed about not having any more tickets and not enough new prizes in their inventory!"
"GC prize room useless!"
"GCs being shot to death!"
"Thor and Storm hanged!"
"Someone is made manager!"
"Someone thinks that doing a quest would be a good idea!"
"Classic has a player count!"
"Hoorah for someone!"

...you are all screwing yourselves in thinking this ****s gonna be any kind of fun, they want you to waste tickets, hence the lottery. If you all really want those tickets to goto something useful, just ask them to make new NPCs that are fun but have no point to any kind of story line. They used to do it, now i don't know why they don't want to. I swear classic becomes more and more like Nazi Germany every day.

And keep in mind, the last couple of those quotes are just joking, im serious about the first couple.
