    Scratchers are useless

    Scratchers are useless and a hindrance to the game.

    Either remove them from the game or upgrade the prizes to a normal level.

    We're probably beyond the point of discussing this, but opinions are always appreciated.

    Kind regards,

    Sorry, but I'm just going to go ahead and disagree with you.

    I got my 200th viking blade this morning. By my count, that puts me 40% of the way til dominance in the melee category. Not....too...shabby.

    Most of the prizes are worthless, just like most lotto tickets. But if you're lucky you can score something very nice.

    Only thing I find useful is the 10mil & 100mil cash (never got either!)
    Maybe increase the chance of getting these?
    Best cash I've got is 1mil about 3x.

    Well I just pulled a 5x gun scratcher this morning, so I wouldn't say they're completely useless. True, the lower prizes - especially the 1x prizes - aren't exactly flattering. Applying the bonuses on my account the 5x gun prize has stats of 624/353 so I can't really put in a complaint... They are free by the way. Last time I recall checking the definition of 'complaining about something that is free' is called greed. I think that the 1x items need to be updated, but I think that at the current rate of items being thrown at us, it would only expedite the inflation process.

    @ant1greeny2 - $1m cash is 4x

    Let me reply in a picture;



    These are only for the random gods (calc says 1 in 46656 for each or 0.0021%) and what do they get? A less then thousand vehicle, platform, exosuit, axe? 100 mil is nice for most, but we have plenty of people who can make this in a week and 100k respect is freaking nice to have but are you THAT happy to receive it?

    Increase everything by a tenfold imho. Make it count, or get rid of it all together.

    I agree. I like the new format from MW; log in 28 days in a row and get a prize every day, the last day being a big item with modifier. They should implement this in CC too IMO.

    100 million is what I make in 5 hours. It's useless for people like me; either raise the amount to 1 billion or relate the amount to the person's IPH (i.e. 100x IPH).

    Agreed. Does the item still have the 10% mafia attack mod?

    True, but don't forget that these items were HUGE at the time they were introduced. They definitely need an update.
