It's not exactly envy that motivated people to whine about the lottery. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)

The reason why peoples are whinging about it is largely the same reason as those people who are defending it: it's the powerful, yet subtle 'urge' that lies deep within all of us... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

You're just running from discussion because you have nothing to say. Freedom of speech wasn't made for whining. And you have no point of view, you just trying to make excuse for your weakness and unwillingness to put some effort in anything. Typical child of modern age. Hooray, "evolution".

If I have anything to complain about the lottery, it won't be about whether it's unfair, fair enough, or perhaps a bit too fair and et cetera — my complain would be that, to me, the current lottery is just too... 'timid', and is nowhere near EVIL enough as many people claimed or would like it to be, which in turn made the scheme, with the occasional drool-worthy prize and all that, feels rather bland and boring for many people to participate even though they may willing to and could actually afford to do so.

To demonstrate my point: You know the lottery ain't doing the job well enough when people still made this kind of post in WTB!  (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

In any case. I sure would love to be in Tenb position right now in regard to the whole lottery thing; with immense amount of power under his command and legions of clueless, mindless human-mice to play with in any way he pleases and as long as he like — That, right there, is much better than sex if you ask me!  (IMG:[bbs.pramool.com] http://bbs.pramool.com/webboard/pic/89.gif)

At least after 0.78, I don't need to search WTS for a better weapon, most of the top weapon will come from Lottery~ (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Maybe there will be no need to grinding for weapon any more~ the weapon generated by Lottery are too good(Most pxp 370+, I have seen few in WTS or drop)~ (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

LotteryVerse is coming!

For Realz. I get no good weapon in like forever, either in DwD, TTT, TT, FSM, random. I am just saving up credits/hath to buy GP for when I see that Legendary Katalox staff of Destruction in the lottery.

I did not get a good weapon before the Lottery was added. Even when I was still playing a lot.
Lottery is not at fault but drop rates.

Not that it matter: even if it has the Rainbow, Unicorn & Ponies suffix, you still can't hit shit anyway... (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/duck.gif)

Ichy's right.

I don't recall any huge clammoring for a Lottery in lieu of fixing the many issues and game mechanics, so this is just a way to ignore the drops issue and also have people waste at the same time. I think I've gotten maybe 1 drop ever that is actually worth some real credits/game play value. Even with training.

Lottery is a (for one reason) cover for bad drops just as Peerless is a way to cover for lackluster Legendaries.

What do you mean by fairness? There may not be distributive fairness, though arguably is as those that take the biggest risk have the highest chance of reward, but there is procedural fairness with the lottery.

Rather than lotto, I'm selling my GP and enjoying the higher rate of credit return.

The Problem with HV and every other Loot based game is balance.

If you don't get anything it feels wrong and people start to complain. See HV or Diablo 3 for Example.
If you get to much you will have BiS at level 300 and have nothing more to do. Sure you can still forge and collect Crystal but once you done gearing up thee is not much more desire to grind for me.

Back in times of EDB Bug it felt the best. (for mage) Phase was pretty rare but every time one dropped with the correct suffix it was a possible Upgrade and when you got one you actually felt stronger!
And it was pretty much the best balanced in terms of time invested and gain (again for mage only lol)
Sure mage was fuck OP in lower settings but who cares about them. Note back then we had harsh daily limits and if you are done you are done for today. You wont be able to play more no matter what. Also to pull off epic feats like oneshotting the Highest setting (which i was so close to ;_;) you had to put a shitload of effort into the game. Play a lot of Rounds and trade, get Damage perks.

whoops what was the Topic?
