I feel as if I am seeing threads such as this: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=87221694&f=34 much too often.


It seems easy for some people to get confused and lose out (or win more if lucky) on fg.


My suggestion would be changing this and having a calendar of some sort, where you can place tickets on any individual x:00 time beyond your current time and making them be manually checkmarked/bubble filled etc. Past hours of that day would be greyed out/un highlightable etc.

This would give people not only the freedom to not make a mistake as many have done in the past, but would allow you to place tickets at specific hours rather than having to say, buy tickets for 12 hours in advance.


Thoughts are appreciated.

I mean, it says: "Buy This Ticket For the Next (X) Raffle(s)"

So, you can clearly choose on how many you want to buy for the next X amount of raffles.

Indeed it does, yet many, MANY users make a mistake and I see a thread such as my example in the first post at least once a week.

Essentially this would be for "foolproof" for the lack of a better word.

IMO an easier fix for this would be to have the "Buy For The Next X Raffles" input be disabled by default and a placeholder of 1. Then just have a checkbox next to it like "Purchase for multiple raffles" that you can click if you want to open up that input and increase the number. This definitely happens to users a lot, regardless of whether some of us think it's obvious enough how the system works, and I don't think it'd be that difficult to change if they desire to change it..

regardless of what the change is, I agree that there should be a change to prevent this from happening to people. a lot of people post in GH with that issue and constantly have to be told several times that it's not refundable, etc

I like that idea as well! Just hope for something that causes less of a misunderstanding for users. Thanks for linking more topics as well!
