Hi everyone! As a leader of a group that has active memebers on a server that opened 4 weeks ago basically I find it pretty difficult to distribute packs. Even though I dont have much experience of being a leader and I wanna be fair in my choices on this. Previously i looked overall participation (chat, convoy and etc), donations, amount of fights in GNW, power increase rate, but it took time to compare all and i still made mistakes... So i decided to make a new system for packs distribution based on some ideas i found on the site. Before using it in action i decided to discuss it in forum to minimize risks or dont use it at all:
Packs auction.
This systems consists of 2 stages: people collecting "money" for activity and betting at the end of the week. In addition, it may work only for groups that have at least 20 and more members participating in GNW and with some memebrs that reached lvl 60.
Part 1. How to get "money"?
Members by their own regulate their earnings (lets call them points for being simple). They memorise/write their activity somehow and try to maximise their funds:
1. 1 fight in GNW gives 5 points. So all fights together 25 points.
2. 7 days people can donate. Nevertheless their donation limits are different due to lvl difference. Still we know that 300k was a maximum for everyone at start and this sum can be reached by most if they are active.
300k*7=2100k.
Let than 60k donations be equal to 1 point. With this players will receive 35 points if they donate 300k perday.
3. The problems come there: how to estimate convoy and other group activities? Its hard to collect info about them and basically will be annoying for everyone...than we wont do it! Why to make people suffer? Without these activities people wont receive coins and will donate less. Thats in their interest to participate in such events also.
Part2. Lets bet!
At the end of the week people send mails with their bets on different types of packs to the leader by mail. The highest bets ofc win and get packs. But is it fair? This way no. still we can regulate the process:
1. The memebrs that receive packs lose their points collected and in the next 2-1-0 weeks cant collect them. its related to next rule
2. All those who didnt get a thing continue to collect points and bet next weeks aggregate sum of them. Still with this model all will aim for legendaries...so we make another rule - you can collect points for 3 weeks max in a row. On the 4th week points will "vanish" and members start collecting them again. People must be logical in their chances!
*number of weeks/special rules for different medals depend only on number of active members. We have ~25 really always active so thats why 3 weeks for us may be nice.
3. There may be situations when people dont bet on some packs. In this case leader personally distribute packs and those who received cant bet next weeks. Again people should be rational! Otherwise they may lose points...and get a worse packs. There may be other ways to do it. Still thinking.
Part3. Control!
To control that people dont lie - leader can take screanshots of donations at start and end of the week/after distribution or at start of the rotation 3 weeks.
The methods may be different. Leader need to check it.
Part4. Prices!
1. Basically, Elite Packs may cost the 60 points or less. Thats all battles participation and 300k donations perday or less.
Hero Packs may cost 70-80 and legendaries 90-100.
2. After first week prices rise cause people will bet aggregate. i wanna make it 50% more. So on second week Elite packs cost 90...and so on. On third week prices rise again.
Drawbacks:
1. Low lvls wont get a chance to obtain legendaries. Still with "inflation" (that we can correct) pricess will lower in long run. So if legendaries cost 100 at the end of the 3d week they will cost 225. and with 300k donations per days and all fights participation lowlvls will get ~ 180 points. and their lvl rises they can donate more...
2. Activite members are needed.
And many others...
Its not the final version of the sytem. Things can change a lot. Need time to make it fully applicable. Just theory right now.
So what do you think: i have weird imagination or need to work on this idea a bit more?
