^Incorrect, scout rules weren't put in for mental health, they were put in because 100 players voted on a thread and made a rule that now applies to 2k+ players

I bought my two bracers of benevolence from some dude with an auto clicker. Best 20k ever spent.

38 low 50s are capable of killing captain so I don't see the sense in banning their participation.

Is this rule GM-enforced?

You've described exactly how it already works unless I am missing something, and it is quite cluttered as is. It's not the worst way to do it but it's a massive crapshoot and can be frustrating that's some people are winning for the 4th / 5th time (or more), while others have gone 40 or 50 rolls and still haven't won once for their main.

While this is true, setting the min to 55 would reward people who have put more time into their char, increase the chances for people who still haven't won on their main, and raise the barrier to entry so that there are hopefully less roll offs consisting of 40-50 players.

Setting the min to 56 would reward people who have put even more time into their char and would make the pool of rollers smaller still.

All elves are equal, but some elves are more equal than others.

I picked 55 arbitrarily thinking it is a nice reward for getting through the hell level of 54. Plus, if someone has finished the grind through 54 they are pretty dedicated to that character and it's less likely the item will sit on some unplayed / barely played alt. Also, 55 is the speed limit on a lot of roads.
