Jumbo Cactpot needs to be more like real life lottery? Suggestion.

[Arkista]

EDIT- LOOKS LIKE THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS LOUDLY AS POSSIBLE, CAUSE PEOPLE AREN'T READING. I'M NOT ASKING TO BUY AN UNLIMTED AMOUNT OF TICKET'S. NOT 10K TICKETS, NOT 1K, NOT EVEN 100! 1 TICKET WITH 5 LINES OR 1 TICKET WITH 10 LINES.

First off I know its been three weeks, but dang!

Jumbo Cactpot needs to be like lottery in real life. We can go to the shop on the corner and buy 100 lottery tickets if we want. But we can only buy one a week in the game. Its a 1:10k chance to win. There are even some achievements tied to it as well. I could buy 1 ticket with multiple lines.

We should really be able to have more chances a week. You could add ticket options. Lets break this down for those who think RMTS would make bank. My idea is 3 tickets, you either buy a ticket with 1 line, 5 lines, or 10 lines its that simple. You wouldn't be able to buy a 5 line ticket + 5- 1 line tickets you get to pick one. I put 500-750 GP on 5 line ticket for a reason and same with 1k-1.5k on 10 line ticket, Sure we can buy 500GP for 5k, But you would have to earn an extra 250-1kGP, You can't buy more than 5k GIL worth of GP, I've said it already if someone cannot afford 5k gil once a week and has to resort to buying it from RMTs then they are playing the game wrong.

100GP-1 Ticket with one line, Currently what we have.
500-750GP-1 Ticket with 5 lines. 750 combats RMT
1000-1500GP-1 Ticket with 10 lines. 1500 also combats RMT

If you buy a 5 line ticket, The line with the most matches wins and you win that much and everything else is void. So that stops anyone who could possibly cheat. If someone was able to hack and find out the winning numbers are going to be 1234, they could buy a 10 line ticket with all 1234, But they are only going to receive one top prize and the other 9 are void.

Winning Numbers 1234
1. 1234- highest of the 5 wins
2. 0234-void even with 3 numbers
3. 8634-void even with 2 numbers
4. 9844-void even with 1 number
5. 4321-void.

Consolation prize would still be the same, no extra because you have more tickets.

I don't know about you guys but I want that Cloud card and Fenrir mount.

So in my suggestion I've taken care of any RMT actions (buying gil), I've taken care of cheating. So the real question is why not? And don't say RMTs or people cheating, cause that is addressed and take out of the equation.

I would like to address the elephant in the room who was talking about "Working as intended". The chances are 1:10k a week to earn top prize, The chances might as well be 1:100 million. There is no way humanly possible aside from luck and cheating to win. Sure there are only 10k combinations 0000-9999, but it would take you 192 years to even do those combinations, Even then there is no guarantee you'll win. Increasing the odds 10:10k is a lot better. Does it hurt the game to increase the odds? Nope, not at all. Is it game breaking? Again no.

You can buy up to 500 MGP for 5000 gil - even if I consider it unlikely but some crazy people could indeed just buy 500 MGP, buy 5 tickets (if price stays the same) and repeat (which would mean ofc that they'll never have more than 500 MGP - except for "payday" ofc when they manage to turn all there gil into MGP at once... no need to "farm" any MGP since you can simple buy tickets which will give you at least 117 if you turn them in early... bäm! potencial tons of MGP "bought" with gil - and yep, I do know that this is unlikely but it would be possible)

That said I dont really care about the limitation since I treated it more like a game so I wouldnt buy more than one anyways. I could imagine though that it could be difficult, gamewise, to keep track of to many tickets and numbers you got. Atm its that tiny little numer in your GS-profile - if its unlimited you'd need something like our friends or blacklist for lotterynumbers xD So maybe, I dont know, limit to 10 or so? So people who really wants to could raise there chance a bit... but I'm pretty sure some sort of limitation will always be need - and if its just because of technical stuff...

See this is why they put limitations (already in the OP), Thus taking any RMT actions out.

I've already stated in the OP and then just edited to make it loud and clear. I didn't ask for an unlimited amount of ticket sales. I proposed to keep the 1 ticket option (of course) add two more options 1 ticket with 5 lines and 1 ticket with 10 lines. You would only be able to buy 1 of the 3, not any combination. So you wouldn't be able to buy 10- single tickets or 5- singles and 1- 5 line ticket. Again 5k gil isn't going to drive up RMT activity or sales.

Also I already stated in the OP that even if you bought a 10 line ticket you would only win the top prize making every other line Void. So players wouldn't be able to hack the lottery and find out this weeks numbers are 1234 and buy 10 lines of 1234 and win over 10 mil. Also you would only get one consolation regardless of the amount of lines, You're buying one ticket after all. .
