    What part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for:
    All Main Servers
    Short title for your suggestion:
    disable lotto for short periods
    What are you suggesting:
    allow there to be some a a command or a thread so you can disable buying lotto tickets for short periods of time like 1 week.
    Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?:
    This will be useful for people who have gambling addicitons in game and out of game so they can save money. it could be something like that thread ages ago where you could be requested to be temp banned for a set period of time. And no lot messages does not work because i always gamble with it off and people always announce lotto is big in global.
    Other information:
    N/A
    Plugin or custom addition:
    Lotto
    One suggestion per form:
    I Understand.

    You can always type /lot messages to prevent temptation, it works for me, and others, or even keep your money in the forum bank, these little things should stop 99% of people.
    If you can't stop buying lotto tickets, that sounds more of a you issue, than the server, lotto is good as it takes money out of the economy via tax.

    Here's my opinion about this suggestion-

    Pros of implementing this feature:
    - Higher player retention rate (since maybe people quit after losing big lottos)
    - Less loan scamming (since players would invest time in working for money instead of lotto)

    Cons of implementing this feature:
    - Smaller lottos
    - Less money taken out of ECC economy

    Not sure currently how I feel about these tradeoffs so I'm at a +/- 1

    Just learn self-control? If it's a problem for you out of the game, there are plenty of resources you can use to help with a gambling addiction bud. Don't think we need a command like this at all.

    This has been suggested before and denied.
    I think the reasoning was summed up as:
    Its up to the player to control their urges

    Every time you buy a lotto ticket you save a baby kitten. Use /lot buy.
