Hi everyone. This may upset some people but I'd prefer if we can ban lotteries from this section of the forum. Heck make a separate section just for lotteries. But I'd like if we could remove the spam from running lotteries and start focusing on player driven (non lotteries) events.
Just my 5 cents.

I see where you are coming from but please consider how few events actually go on here, this forum already move very slowly and 75% of that comes from lotteries. There is truely no reason to make another forum just for that. I would be an almost dead forum and this one would be completly dead.

Since CCP permanently cancelled all official events in eve, lotteries are all we have left.

Personally i have put on many EvE events to included both in game player interactive and lotteries. I don't see any reason to have another forum just for lotteries. Now i apologize the reason so many lotteries have come up lately is due to my advertising throughout EvE. People see the sucess mine have had in thelast few weeks and many people who have participated in my lotteries now feel the need to go do it themselves. Due to this i will not be hosting any further lotteries unless i get asked to by the EvE community.

I don't think that lotteries need their own forum, but I think they're in the wrong forum.
The lotteries that people are running are selling something in a profit-making venture. They should stick to the Buy and Sell forum since they're selling tickets to make ISK.
ITs not an event any more than selling a Megathron is an event.

LadyOfWrath, I enjoy your lotto's, albeit unable to participate due to lack of funds... keep 'em coming!
And I see a lotto as an event. Granted, there are several lotto's that are popping up from non credible people and those thinking it's an easy fast buck.
Other than lotto's, I see maybe 5 or 6 events that are current.
My vote is to keep them here, but please, feel free to keep bumping my event to the top :)

If you want me to stop posting and running lottery stuff then so be it. Most of the stuff I'm running is low isk stuff for noobs. I'm only hoping they'd win something at a lower price and they can afford. I won't post anymore lottery stuff here simply cus you people are not friendly towards someone who's trying to start afew up. Truth is yes i saw lady of wraths lottery from a friend of mine ingame but i've done this before many years ago just happen to drop out of doing it.

I really don't understand how you feel lotteries are hurting anything. Eve is a sandbox type game, running a lottery is no different than trading or ratting or however you choose to make money. The only difference is that someone besides the person running it gets lucky and walks away with a good amount of isk for a minimal investment.
A lottery post isn't "spam", its a legit thread.

Lottery is a moneymaking scheme (in most cases) so better keep lotteries to market section.
I frequent event forums much less now when lotteries are taking up most of the space. Drowning other events.
I never said "ban" lotteries. Just the posts from event section.

Just did a quick survey of the first page here - almost 50% of the threads are lotteries.
Yeah...its a little over-prolific.

Nothing against lotterys but I have to agree, its a shame we don't have a section dedicated to just RolePlay events hosted by other players but ones which CCP advertise to realy get people interested. Also people could be abit more creative in their lottery types, they all seem to be virtualy the same thing. Use your imagination peeps.

With reguards to 'less reputable' I presume that refer's to persons like myself, and although I will admit that This char is till in the NPC corp, I Am attempting to become 'known' as a reptutable lottery holder. And yes im sure many will see 'lotteries asa quick isk earner, and im sure a few will even just scam isk from the opportunity. but i think lotteries are an event, and deserve to be posted as such, I hold a lottery as an event requested by players and when demand is good enough i will seek to fill that demand, Thus creating an 'event' of it.

As long as lottery creators announce that they will hold a lottery ingame at a certain date in a certain system/statoin i see no problem with it. however if it's only done on the forums it's not a game event, it's a forum event. Can't see the roleplay or it's place there tbh.

I agree, it is a forums event.
I want to see a "Lottery" type of contracts , where the winner can be chosen randomly by the game.
