Steph Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 So... I haven't won anything at all this month, except for what? 52 Lamps or something silly like that... So I posted in HLF. No one was guaranteed anything and there was no way to abuse/pay2win. That's a huge step forward for how they put out content and events. What more do you want from them?

baileydafrog Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 how many people complaining put all tickets in like once/twice a week? doesn't really make you deserve the win just because put more in. Putting 2 in a day i've won 6 prizes so far including silverhawks (well feathers for me), eggs in one basket and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baileydafrog Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 but if you enter 4 raffles you're still relying on just those, with so many others doing the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoko Kurama Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 So... I haven't won anything at all this month, except for what? 52 Lamps or something silly like that... So I posted in HLF. No one was guaranteed anything and there was no way to abuse/pay2win. That's a huge step forward for how they put out content and events. What more do you want from them? And that's why the Raffle is an idiotic idea. Any time you have a luck-based system, a few people are going to do very well, and some people are going to do very poorly, through no fault of their own. Just as those who did well have a right to be happy, those who didn't have a right to protest this/complain. There is nothing impartial or virtuous or great about luck-based systems (and they are very unfun if you happen to be unlucky). Yet for some reason Jagex has an infantile obsession with it (just about everything they can make luck-based, they do). What more do we want from them? How about systems that aren't based on luck? They could have done completely different systems, or put in fail safes so that if you didn't win anything, your chances went dramatically up. So no, [bleep] luck-based systems. Luck is a part of life, but there's nothing great about it, there's no reason to incorporate it into fantasy games (where we come to escape life, not relive all the shitty aspects of it) to the extent that Jagex or other games do. Cancer is also a part of life, but I wouldn't want to see it in RS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 ...And if your chances went dramatically up yet you still didn't win anything, then what? People would be even more cross. With a fixed number of prizes, only so many people can be satisfied no matter how they end up dividing them. And it was the players' idea that lead to cutting prizes in half too >.<. 1 "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

With a fixed number of prizes, only so many people can be satisfied no matter how they end up dividing them. And it was the players' idea that lead to cutting prizes in half too >.<. It was the idea of a *few* players to cut the prizes. Not all. Also, the prizes that they wanted cut were prizes which would harm or distort the economy and certain rare drops (like the 100M prize and Death Touched Darts) - I don't think a single person wanted to see Warpriest and Golden Godswords or Skilling outfits cut - which were all fun little prizes. Personally I would have killed for a Golden Warpriest Set or a Godsword, and I couldn't care much about the 100M prize. Secondly, with a dramatic increase in chance, at least it'd be better than the current situation where some people walk away with 9-12 darts, while others get none. Still, you're right, some people would still get nothing, but that number would be lower than what it is right now, though in general purely luck-based systems suck and are not fun for a lot of people. Super September from last year, as shit as it was, was a thousand times better than this, or that one year where every member got Darts, not just a few.

Saradomin_Mage Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I *think* the Monday and Tuesday prizes are the deposit box and darts, respectively. In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I *think* the Monday and Tuesday prizes are the deposit box and darts, respectively.Is there some indication that they differ from the usual Monday/Tuesday prizes?

Arceus Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I know there was some confusion earlier on prizes, so I've just confirmed that it's 100 x 100M coins for today's prize :thumbup:.

stealthchris117 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I really hate that they halved all the prize amounts.

stealthchris117 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 So... I was able to finally get my Silverhawks from the BXP trade-in.

Jon Arcane Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I'm very sad I've been putting in tickets to win Silverhawks back after I died and lost them ages ago only to discover today that they were with Diango all along >_< 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
