Auric Cell raffle.
I'm a loyal member of this forum and game.
It does pain me to see so many ghost accounts get free 20 dollars in Auric Cells. FOR NOT participating.
I don't think anyone that has gotten cells has over 10 posts. It's kind of silly.
I think they should rethink their raffle setup. People are just making random accounts? Why are the people like myself that are here, being constructive, objective not getting any cells? I'm on PS4 too... yikes right?
Your "points" on your account should give you a better chance or something. Randoms that do not participate in the forums in any way are winning free cells.
It's kinda pissing me off.

i hear what you are saying. i would love to see the winners posting stuff however I joined the forums because of the raffle. I think BHVR was hoping for a lot of people like me, people who joined the forums and participate. now had i of been told i couldn't join the raffle till i had x posts i can tell you i wouldn't have signed up.5

They said they wanted people who don’t comment but read the forums to be able to participate too. Also they said that when the select a winner they check their last dbd play session which I guess is to check to see if that’s a human and not a bot. However I do agree with you that points on the forum should do something because it doesn’t matter how many people you have signed up for the forums if nobody participates. I’ve gotten to a point where I’ve seen the same people comment so many times I know how they’re gonna comment on certain topicsDwight_Confusion said:I'm a loyal member of this forum and game.

Not Queen posted this earlier.
"Thanks for your concern but this raffle isn't about the amount of participation in the forums but about being a verified member. Players who read forums but do not comment still have the right to participate. We have over 20K members in the forums right now so we are bound to pick members you might not know.
We check the winner accounts for last played DBD session, we do the raffles, contact the winners and add the currency to the accounts. I can guarantee you that all of them are human.
I will now close this thread.
Good luck in the next raffles!"

At least they're vetting them. I'm a bit concerned that people get multiple submissions by making multiple accounts... but hey, what can you do?

correct. i think the problem is that there is a feeling that people may have signed up for more than 1 time. example. i have 5 different email accts... technically i could have signed up 5 times. (i didn't, but could have because there was nothing setup to prevent this.) it could have been remedied with linking your DBD acct or at the very least an IP capture.ceridwen309 said:Not Queen posted this earlier.

notqueen maybe checking to see when they played last, but if she searches my name here it will come back as empty as my gamertag is completely different. What I assume she does is emails them to tell them they are a winner and asks for thier gamertag. at this point the person just writes back and guves a legit gamertag. for all i know the next person who reads this has won 3 times and only posts with 1 acct.... probably not, but possible.0 -
If the submitted accounts do not play dead by daylight....they will be kicked out of the raffle. (at least according to not queen's statement.)
And....there might be more raffles....with different rules. who knows.

Well that's fine. Sounds like @not_Queen is doing a great job with the winners.
If I don't win, that is fine. I just don't want people that won't check or know they won. They should definitely do a small raffle for some of us dedicated... loyal forum people.

But how do they know if I played dbd or not though is my question.ceridwen309 said:If the submitted accounts do not play dead by daylight....they will be kicked out of the raffle. (at least according to not queen's statement.)

I'm assuming they check your IP address. They surely have access to that information.0

I think maybe it’s just the way it was worded that confused me because I know they ask for your player ID if you win but the way it was worded made it seem like that was the order in which they did the raffle. Like I thought they somehow checked to see if people played dbd then did the raffle and that’s what seemed weird to meJusticeZERO said:@ThePloopz said:

It's very funny that literally every single winner of the raffle are people that have literaly no activity at all on the forum.

Forum accounts have no connection at all to the DBD accounts, this would only make sense if the raffle would happen in the steam forums

Also for people that don't really care to verify themself so far of the 14 people picked for the raffle only 4 have posted anything on the forum and out of those 4, one of them only posted one message and it was long after he won.
And none of them have more than 5 post.

The forum isnt a job. Were owed nothing for our posts2

I think points on the forums should be worth something because right now there’s no reason for them to even be there it seemsDragonredking said:Also for people that don't really care to verify themself so far of the 14 people picked for the raffle only 4 have posted anything on the forum and out of those 4, one of them only posted one message and it was long after he won.

This is where I get lost, What if I play on Playstation? How can they check that? How can they know? Okay so they message me on this forum, did someone spend the time to see all the winning accounts have logged in since their win? If so case closed. If not how can they know?

With how not_queen spoke, it seemed like they did check to some degree, how they checked, idk.

I can't win?0 -
Well, it still is nice of them to hand out free Auric cells. And as others have mentioned: who knows, maybe this will happen again.
