The problem I have with Storm's idea is that it isn't really going to solve anything. The people who are currently at the point now where they have collected a massive amount of tickets are just collecting them. No matter what comes up, they're going to be collecting them and that's all they're going to do because they have that huge amount already.

I've already mentioned this to Night, but if you're going to do something like this then the 10 or so weapons are going to need to balance and compliment each other well, which is going to be an extremely hard thing to do on a server like Classic. If they don't balance well then some are going to have an obvious worth over others, which negates the reason for bringing out a system like this. Personally I’d rather not anxiously spend my tickets than to make a permanent decision about a prize, without knowing enough about the possible outcomes to determine which is the "best" choice for me and to put me in good standing with other players. As the prices double when you take a chance with one I can just see this frustrating players.

Like Crono said however, it isn't really a priority. Sure it should be nipped in the ass, but with a small playercount like there is now, and a small pool of people hording tickets through event wins because competition is so low, the problem is just going to keep on coming. This idea doesn't really influence any competitive streak which is really what we're missing in events these days. Oh, and other things to do outside of events.
