When is the big draw

I look at the systems and outcomes. A good design does reward those that can make the time investment and/or have higher levels of skill. But it does not exclude those that don't.

It's usually just lazy design to make a "hard" game. And you shouldn't put 90% of your game design efforts towards appeasing 10% of your target audience. Now, if your audience IS all hardcore, skilled, committed players, then it's OK. The Dark Souls series is a good example of this. They're punishing to the point of frustration for the mass market, but serves their niche audiences just what they were looking for.

The Diablo series is a good example of a broad-market game (that went a bit too far focused towards the niche market with D3 IMO). You can grind and increase your odds of getting top tier drops, but the base game at lower difficulty levels is enjoyable for many without all the grinding.

So, much depends on the intent of the design. Is this ECF contest meant to heavily favor the prolific posters in a particular thread? If so, don't change a thing, it's working as intended.

But if it's intended to reward ECF members from a wider cross-section, it's more than a bit flawed.

I'm not proposing a minivan soccer league "everyone's a winner" mentality here, btw, I hate that crap too. But the minivan soccer league shouldn't pit the players against a Premier League team (playing to win) and expect the majority of the kids to have much fun either.

My smok m80 semi died on me today, so I ordered myself a sig75 this afternoon, so I'm just considering it a massive bonus if I manage to win one.
I take it you've all got your own devices already, so you aren't desperate for one.
If you are desperate for one, don't be such a tight a*#, and go out and buy one.
You smoked before and could afford tobacco so why is it you've quit cigs and can't afford to keep an even cheaper habit?
So to sum up, if you win, good for you, if you lose, tough titties and STOP MOANING.
It's the way she goes.
who ever said life is fair?
I'm seriously physically disabled and have never once complained about the cards I was dealt.
GET OVER YOURSELF.

/QUOTE]

^That right there is exactly my analogy.

You can grind (post a lot) and increase your chances (not confirmed that's how the giveaway works, but everyone is definitely trying to connect the dots that way)

Or you can sit back (not post) and still have the chance of getting something.

You basically just summed up what I said

Effort may yield better odds.
Sitting back may yield lesser odds.

But the common between the two:
Just playing gives you a chance.
Not playing at all will not.


So how can you get upset at the prolific posters because of this?

(If indeed the drawing favors heavy posters)
How is this wrong? This exactly like a game.
