I'm right there with you. Don't worry about people getting upset by it. From their perspective, they saw the system rewarding you more than them for much less work, and it is natural to blame what you can see (you ranking up) rather than the system itself. Technically a lottery ticket is a product with a value and you should be rewarded for creating and selling this product. You are filling a niche. But yea, I think with this little tweak, you can do your lottery games and be rewarded for your sales at a level that is more fair.
