Isn't trade about trust? Buying donations, is that about trust? How is this different!

 

Well, I sure as hell never heard of someone "teaming" in a casino...

 

This isn't real life though.

 

Your point is? ECC's economy is based off of a real world economy I. That sense. Lottery? I couldn't fathom to think that was taken from real life. Nor a casino! Mad god forbid the idea of money came from real life

 

You can't fly in real life, so what's YOUR point? Just cause it's not from real life means nothing.

 

In all seriousness, have you ever heard of someone "teaming" in a casino? No, lottery is the same thing as a casino, as there's no guarantee you're going to win, nor is there a guarantee that you're going to have your money given back to you.

 

In all seriousness have you ever seen any one fly in real life? How about swimming in lava? Nope.

The agreement made in lotto teaming is not about getting your money back. When some one says give them money to team in lotto and they agree to split profit "if" they win, then win and do not split it with the other person as agreed they scammed the other person.

Still, I came up with a point against your argument, and you came back with pretty much exactly what you had already said. Lol

 

Does it matter if it a good strategy? Does it matter if it isn't similar to "real life"

In real life do people go up and down with powerful swords and cut up melons immediately? Do they fight mobs in the mining world? Do they fly? Swim in lava?

Do people in real life wait for the lottery to get decently big then go all in? Lottery sniping is a strategy, and as far as I am concerned real life lottery has nobody that goes all in for it.

Staff does not support buying donations from other people with ECD, which clearly isn't the best idea, but they still punish for it.

Also you would not see someone "teaming" in a casino because

A. A casino is not lottery
B. It's not a virtual minecraft game
C. It's a bad idea

LMAO

 

@Kick_Me_1235
They just mad af they can't win lotto, so they finna resultin too teaming ji feel?

 

yea lad

 

You haven't seen the purge suggestions then.

 

Fair point :p

 

You clearly read the thread incorrectly.

If anything its supporting people teaming more

 

I say this should be added, how is it different from any other in-game agreement?

 

Guys, with lottery teaming there is no official agreement or direct transfer of money/items. You each buy your tickets SEPERATELY so therefore you are not officially agreeing on anything. Basically you both agreed to put some money in lotto and whoever wins splits money. Also for this sort of transaction (idk what else to call it) you are not exchanging things of value you are just putting ur money in a pot and hoping you get picked. If you didn't win you'd still lose your money. My point is that this may have been a good suggestion in your head but if you think about it, it wouldn't work out 99.9% of the time and the staff team would have so much more work if this was added as a rule.

Overall bad suggestion -1

 

Not every one does it that way. There are people that actually pool there money to play, giving another person money to play lotto in agreement that if that person wins they split the profit. In this case how would it be hard to enforce at all?

 

I think one main problem is that it would increase the number of complaints A LOT and add to general scamming frustration. Also, it would add significantly to the workload of our volunteer staff.

There are some blanket rules that are necessary to keep down the amount of administrative work. Like this rule, and like the 'Griefing is legal in the wild' rule.
