In Game Name: MattBrpQcWhat part of EcoCityCraft is this suggestion for: All Main ServersShort title for your suggestion: Reintroduction of Raffle taxWhat are you suggesting: We reintroduce raffle tax to help minimize losses for newer players by losing all their money to richer players oversniping the raffle to win. There could be a percentage based system that decides how much money is taxed out of your initial raffle ticket purchase to help make it fair for everyone. Something along the lines of what we already do for server taxes. basic explanation looks something like this: Buy 1 raffle ticket, no tax whatsoever, increase to 10 tickets, 1-5% tax or whatever and so on. the amount of tax you pay is based on the overall ticket amount purchased. We could also add in a lesser tax amount for players who purchased raffle master to make it slightly more fair to those players.Why is this a good addition for EcoCityCraft?: We already have coin flip or cf which is completely untaxed and is a perfectly reasonable way to win money in a 1v1 for rich players. The raffle on the other hand is being abused by richer players to entirely steal money away from less rich players and it leads to some players quitting altogether. This suggestion has the potential to boost player retention and balance the playing field for all to enjoy.Other information: Meh probably no other info other than what was mentioned above and below.Plugin or custom addition: I am assuming this has to do with the raffle plugin however I have no idea if this is a custom plugin or something that was pulled from elsewhere.One suggestion per form: I Understand.
-1 Newer players shouldn't be doing raffle anyway. They should know the risks associated with doing the raffle, so why should we try to make others suffer & not do raffle for the very few that can't grasp this concept? (Note: this comes from someone who just lottos occasionally & never snipes)
Case in point is exactly what jdawger mentioned and the biggest issue is that new players don't grasp that concept and all the raffle addicts push them to play. We then lose those new players to the loss they take on raffle and we never see them again.
Again, and a point you didn’t even acknowledge to make your narrative with what I said, it’s pretty rare for a new player to do that, let alone someone sniping. I’ve never personally seen it, and I’ve been online basically every day. Why should we add tax and essentially disallow people from raffling? It’s better overall to just remove raffle than tax it again. Plus, this will cause a new issue: new players will put some raffle tickets in, only to lose money when they win (esp if they are the only person doing the raffle). And to address the “issue” this is trying to resolve, lotto tax will cause people to add MORE tickets at the end of the day to try to make more profit and up their odds
Raffle (and conflip tax) was removed due to EULA regulations -- something ECC has to take pretty seriously. (See: https://ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/all-main-servers-suggestion-service-fee-for-raffle.222861/)
Raffle tax is against the EULA. As per Mojang rules the server cannot benefit from Raffles or Coin Flips.
