I'll give you the other side then. Knowing that you're not forgotten and will get this chosen prize you claimed with patience is reassuring.
Also, I'll be blunt: you have either the POV of a ridiculously wealthy player or the prizes were garbage if you think the user is just going to buy it themselves or lose interest in the interim.(And I'm pretty sure they were good prizes.)
To me, it'd be closer to when I prepay an accent and have to wait a while.(Because they did prepay in dragons sent to you raffle) I know it's coming to me. It's as good as mine. Just need patience.
Also, did you guys seriously learn nothing about spreading out your bank from before? You seriously went from handing it all to Dutchess to handing it all to another player. The problem with that was not just the person. My flight has our prizes scattered through the bank holders and doesn't pull the stuff together until the prize gets claimed in case of someone having issues.
You don’t need to be ´ridiculously wealthy’. The prizes were good, but some of them are worth less than others and their supply has not ran out yet on the AH. A WC scroll is one month of fairgrounds which is maxed in 15 minutes nowadays and some side sales you can easily make selling food or coli drops or fodder. Especially after NoTN, most people managed to set aside some gems. I suppose you can always resell the item you picked if you don’t have a use for it by the time you get it, but /to me/, raffles are an opportunity to get something I want to use, not something I want to resell because I could have gotten the thing before my prize is sent.
And it’s great if your flight is organized (I’d be interested to know which flight it is!). It’s truly an enjoyable experience to be in a flight with an established dom team. But the problem is the same at its core: even if there is 3 person holding 3 different items you want for the raffle you’re setting up, and one of them goes missing for one reason or another, you’re still item-less. You just have two items instead of zero, but you don’t have all the items you need regardless. It’s a good way to organize, but it’s NOT foolproof (and nothing ever is, anyway). We could wake up tomorrow and FR would be gone. That’s just how life is, and I want to reiterate that none of us have any miraculous fix.
It could happen to anyone, any flight, it’s not a fun thing to deal with, and getting hit with a stick because ‘you should know better’ when this is about someone having power outages is wrong, and rude to say. But I thank you for your opinion on the drawing.
