Lord of the Rings - Farmers' Draw

Is anyone interested in this (?) :

US server/ euro(?)
10 participants per draw
Entry requirement: each participant contributes the following UNID rare rings:

1 from Normal
1 from NM
1 from Hell
2 from Inferno with MP1 or above.

A draw will somehow take place. PvP is not yet here so we can't say last one standing take all. So it will be some form of RNG. One winner take all 50 rings.

Rinse and Repeat. A few groups can do this concurrently.

I am just throwing the above (including the numbers) to the table and see how you all feel. Just thought it might be fun to run various difficulties to farm for rings (ps some low level rings sell higher than i63 rings wink wink)

Sounds like a fun idea. If it is organised well, should be alright...

You could also make it that it's 3 from 3 different difficulties and 1 legendary from the last missing difficulty.

Legendary could be a hell lots harder to farm for. Hm...speaking of which I don't recall I looted any leg ring yet.

Well yeah it could be, but maybe you're just lucky when it drops for you while searching for the rare ones. It would then be their choice if they want to use it as entry or not.

I'm very interested in something like this, though I would suggest maybe 1 from normal, 1 from nightmare, 1 from hell and 17 from Inferno for a total of 20 itesm - though expand it from rings to all jewelry - ie, rings + ammys, as Jewelry is probably one of the better areas to be able to score that BIS item and increasing the number of items in the drawing increases the chances of scoring something worthwhile from this - and the great part is that the person who gave up the BIS ring would have no idea who he/she really was so you won't feel bad about giving something up that you coul have used provided a sizeable group of people enter this contest.

Speaking of sizeable group, I don't know that we need to limit the # of participants. Anybody that wants to contribute can and the more that contribute the higher the # of chances of getting something good.

I'd love to see Anuiran's girl pull another name out of the hat drawing (especially if its my name) so I would also suggest he run the contest.

@baccarat0809

- Agree with the expansion to all jewelry. this should make farming for the missing count easier. Although the title might then be Lord of the Jewelry lol.
- Not sure on the 17 from inferno, thought it might take us longer to hit the quota. And 17 kind of diminishes the other 3 lower level rings. 1 from each of the earlier difficulties sounds about right to avoid game fatigue in farming easier content.
- # of participants, I was thinking about testing the water and see how many are interested in this idea. I don't think too many are interested in a slightly more complicated draw like this......except for some of us who are already bored with normal draw and like 'geekiness' [a phrase used by @yoyo]. By limiting the # of participant we could hold the draw more frequent too, and more winners. Anyway it is open. At the end maybe only 17-19 are interested and we can do away the limit thing.
- Anuiran's girl. YES! My role in this post is only to suggest a different kind of draw, I am bad at hosting hence I won't be the host. I know Anuiran has a lot on his plate, so it is up to him whether he wants to start something like this along with other priorities.
