Really happy to see the switch to a raffle system. Makes more sense, and will produce less rustled jimmies I think.
Wish it would have been this way all along though
Yeah I agree. The "first come first serve" makes very little sense to me. People have different internet connection. The countdown clock is not perfectly synchronized. There are people gambling by sending email earlier. I even registered an outlook email just for Brobot sale, in the hope that my email will get to BC faster. So glad we switch to raffle system. Hopefully clickclack can do something similar for 4grab sales.
I kind of liked the first come first serve email system, but thats probably because I have good internet (75/5) and I got pretty good at estimating email latency between gmail<->outlook.
I understand the appeal of fcfs, from an international perspective it feels abit hit and miss with timing emails and equating for the email lag.
I dont think anyone getting emails in a fraction quicker then others shows more dedication/support for the work bro does and a raffle system negates the dissapointment because you may have missed hitting send by half a second.
To me a raffle system is a great way to do the sales of bros work.
I for one don't think I have missed a public sale since the release of the V2's and have had my fair share of luck, and believe me it is luck when I send my email from 1-3 seconds before the timer finishes on the successful attempts.
I am not sure how bro is going to do it, but I for one feel abit better if he moves to a raffle system for at least some of his sales. Not sure what thr window for entries will be, but I am sure it will be above a fraction of a second.
