Isn't it technically pay to win already though seeing it involves constantly spending Bytes to level up and feed your HUM?

Yeah that will fix it.
Lower drops cause the value of eggs to increase.
Making the lottery more expensive.

Does nothing for the Hackuman game.

It does a lot to the Hackuman game - it kills it 🤐
I guess there should be limitations to the lotteries and not the egg drop rates.
I haven't hatched a single egg after gaining the award all of the eggs I received went straight to the lottery.
And all the people with the award would be doing that only IMO as there is nothing else to achieve.

I thought the same at first but seeing 20 threads for green eggs is just stupid imo. I think blue/gold could be an exception but if everyone listed their green eggs that’s all that SF would turn into

I agree with blue/gold being allowed. Way too many green/red eggs.

This is also very true.

Been saying this for a few days, maybe to keep the activity flow it could be only Ruby and above seeing everyone knows Emerald eggs will basically always be available in the lottery.

Games still in the beta stage. Best game to come to HF though. Xero has this.

I’ll put it in my prescriptive, more threads and activity have come from this game. Omni and Xero make a great team.

I noticed the egg drop rate decreased. As long as it's controlled I'm cool with egg lotteries. However, the spam posts advertising a lottery in the Bytes Games section really need to go.
Personally I always thought there should only be one lottery run by the forum. Where all members could buy in and say it lasts a week.

With everyone making lotteries it seems no one really wants to join.

I'd love to see more administrator run lotteries.

Members can already do that, you would just start a normal Bytes lottery, set it to one week with unlimited entries.

Bam, one lottery that the whole forum can participate in. You could also do one ticket per member to maximize everyone's chances to win.

No I mean, I don't think we as members should be the ones orchestrating the lotteries.  I feel like they would be much more popular if it was done by staff, and one lottery at a time.
