Zymurgist...

Can you ponder over the idea of making a separate category, for both services and lotteries? These are not really items that are for sale per say, but with the quantity they seem to show up in, they would fill there own category, and thus make life a bit easier for some of us when it comes to finding what we are looking for.

Also, am I alone in thinking that using the forums to just spam current in game auction contracts is a bit annoying?

you could think it is a big scam - but why would a guy be able to continue to run 23 lotteries in a row?

I think CCP support Lotteries as little (or much) as selling core x-type shield boosters.

I like your idea for a lottery specific area. Unfortunately I do not see this becoming a reality. I will however pass on your suggestion.

To be honest, if we fixed all of our lotteries, we wouldn't have the trust to run them anymore.

I think I speak for all lottery runners here when I say, trust is everything in our business.
Peraxx is right without trust we would not have ticket buyers and if we scam, it's over after that. Usually people getting started out (such as myself) implement the use of a well known third party. I have personally used peraxxs third party service and it shuts up those in jita that call me a scammer. Maybe have ccp do something with third parties as well?
