Ok, so that makes me think even playing some dice with a friend in between PH is banned. So let's go the other direction now. How about selling loot rights to multiple people where each person has a chance (i.e. Black sapphire dropped and 4 people need? All pay 1k and /random to see who wins)? If that's allowed, does the roll need to take place immediately, or can you take the item to EC and do it there?

Guess what. P99 is his state and he made it illegal. Get over it and go protest something in real life that matters.

Thats gambling... You're paying for a chance and not a definitive.

You're right, but people "petitioned" against casinos so we'd voicing our opinions JUST LIKE EVERYONE else on the topic at hand. I'm sorry I didn't know we had to just shut up about the issue and not voice our opinions.. I've tried to be as polite as possible and yet all I see is a bunch of bigotry when it comes to people stating they don't like the idea of the ban.

I get the logic still don't think it's going to put a dent on how often it happens and sure might make it easier to track down,

No no, you didn't actually answer my question. If you think it'll be easier to track down and stop, why do you think it won't decrease the number of people doing it. You increase the risk by both parties and make it less profitable. What opposing factor would keep those things from naturally decreasing the activity in the market?

It's really really basic macroeconomic theory you're just whizzing by here. Why will the activity not decrease if it becomes less profitable for the seller and higher risk for the buyer?

I'm sorry I should put it like this. I do agree that it will help decrease RMT's, I don't think the decrease will put a big enough impact on RMT's.

What about the Chardok ae group? Currently people are paying 2k per pull to get into the group. In addition for the xp they gain, they get a chance at loots that drop.

They're paying for a definitive spot in the group for XP. The chance at loot drops is a bonus.
