Shut down the casinos

[Teako]

Is that somehow supposed to refute the point that Sony didn't support in-game gambling because they didn't want to have to raise the ESRB rating because of it?

Shits not classic.

People on live ran casinos. Hell even in luclin they did the golden ticket loto.

Umm... I'm not sure who started the "Casino" deal on EQ, but I know I was running one in EC tunnels during the Kunark Era, and a little before on Tarew Marr. I know I was the first to have one there, but then like here... scammers started to pop up too often.

Myself Brunzil, and my best friend/neighbor growing up Mebarak had them running pretty much everyday early on, and even later in Bazaar. We even extended them to other servers by trading TM plat for other plat on other servers. Not sure who started them "officially," but we came up with the idea in 8th grade and never seen anyone have one going before.

So yea... it is classic.

People who gamble 100% know its a scam. They just have money to burn. Same as it's always been. I dare anyone who doesn't know its a scam to speak up on the forum. It's like people who know that cigarettes will give you cancer ahead of time, yet still choose to smoke and then get cancer. Then they complain that they got cancer. It's just human nature to be stupid and gamble.

It's wrong for the GM's to waste even 1 second on this IMO.

Wrong.

There are legitimate people who have ran them before, and will continue to.

Also, just because one smokes, doesn't guarantee you will get cancer... just as on EQ and gambling; it's not a guarantee you will get scammed. Both though are pretty high, and shouldn't risk either to be honest.

we had a casino on bertoxx... then SoE put in there own casino during luclin so dont say it aint classic just because its wasnt on your server

[Portasaurus]

imho casinos are an important part of reinforcing the bustling "busy market" environment which contributes to immersion levels for TunnelQuest

not even joking

Casinos and the idiots who play in them are classic. GMs helping said idiots is less classic. Banning idiots from being idiots is the opposite of classic.

Yes, running a casino is being an agent of misfortune for the poor person who bets too much and loses it all. But you're also providing them with a chance to, in an instant, bypass an equal amount of time acquiring that plat. It's as beneficial as it is harmful. That's why gambling a controversial issue IRL. The difference being the fact that 45% odds of winning are waaaaaay better than most gambling odds in the real world.

What is nice about this server is that we have a great GM staff that can intervene. GM's can go back and read the chat, see the trade, see that the OP won and transfer the goods. When this happens it will merely lessen that amount of idiots who think they can scam currency via the casino because GM's will enforce the verbal (err written) agreement/terms of the deal. Casinos are classic as hell but I do remember a time during Luclin that GM's on Tholuxe-Paells posted a yellow message stating that people conducing casino's would be banned.
