    The level requirement for event raffles has now reached level 70 in the past year. Obviously the most president issue for raising the level cap is to negate the harmful effects of muling, which imo is inevitable. Its extremely common for people that have played Legends for an extended period of time to have multiple characters of various levels whether they be mages, buff mules, different attacking jobs, etc. These events will always be muled imo, so I'm not offering a solution to that.

    My concern is the steeping growth of the level requirement/possibly future level requirements. The nx items/coupons (cosmetic items), from my experience, have been very easily obtainable. Unfortunately after you obtain your cosmetic items there isn't much to spend your points on if you don't meet the level requirement for the raffle, as well as other items now apparently (like the ring & pendent this event).

    My suggestion is to add different level tiers for the raffle, so that all players are able to have an engaging experience as they play during event periods.

    Pros to having different level tiers
    - Can raise the level requirement for certain items without dragging everything else with it.
    - Items can have individual rates depending on the tier
    - More rewards could be added that are more focused on level brackets (What might be considered junk for a higher level player might be worth more to a lower level player & better rewards can be added for higher level players without flooding the market)
    - With multiple tiers it would be possible to have multiple points associated with different level monsters. (Ex. Farming HHG might only get you the lowest tier of raffle where as Petri/Shaolin/ToT would be the highest tier)
    - The cost of each tier can be adjusted if the above point is also implemented. Currently people complain about the rates of higher level content but probably can't be buffed as it would also affect the HHG meta.

    We see currently with the Santa NPC that we are able to have different rewards depending on level with Santa focusing on sub level 70 characters and Casandra/Gaga 70+. It would be nice to see these various rewards depending on level also be extended to future raffles.

    Thanks

    Its a nice idea!

    But im not really sure how much of a difference it would make to make a tier system, the main 'offenders' you allude to would just make the most efficient leveled mule to get the best out of any raffle, within a few days regardless of how many tier's or restrictions they would find the peak sweat threshhold without fail, thats just how they play.

    Not trying to offer a solution to muling. For myself, my main bias is lower levels. However I think there are pros in balancing raffle in terms of level for both sides regardless of muling, as it will always be present.

    +1, always a good idea to let as many players as possible engage with the event. Especially bigger events such as Xmas and Anniversary events.

    Would be cool to have access to different tiered items:
    • Only Common raffles = level 30-49
    • Common, and Uncommon raffles = level 50 to 69
    • Common, Uncommon, and Legendary raffles = level +70
    Maybe the tier levels can be adjusted to find that sweet spot for more player engagement, and less offenders.
