If people are going to leave because they can't gamble at player run casinos then that's their choice. This is in-line with what many servers did on classic. There's no point in arguing about it because it's not going to get overturned.
Player run casinos are gone for good and not coming back. | ||

Show me after one year that RMT's have dropped or been easier to spot out since the Ban.. I don't think it will change.. I could be wrong though. Also you couldn't wait 4 days to make this ruling.... my b-day is in 3 I was going to do something awesome :-P

But it does do things. Imagine a database log file for player to player plat transactions with and without casinos operating. Imagine how much easier it is to spot trends and people who seem to deal only in handing money back and forth between players.
Before, an RMT mule handing someone 100k over 20 transaction wouldn't set off any alarms because it would be buried in hundreds or thousands of other small back and forth transactions happening the same day, even actual casino transactions the RMT mule could do from time to time to "prove" his legitimacy. Now, much harder to hide. Think beyond how this annoys you personally.

They won't even speak about any reason for the casino shut down/all gambling made illegal besides saying it wasn't primarily based on the (1) casino scam that happened. | |||

Nobody is going to leave over this. Just a bunch of hot-headed responses. As someone who has played the casinos, never been scammed, and mostly broken even... I'm actually all for them being disallowed. They were never allowed on my server on live, either. The GMs are tasked enough without having to deal with casino-related petitions and the possible RMT implications.
Also, this isn't a democracy. | ||

It does make tracking down RMT easier.
I would imagine that many RMT'ers were using casinos as a front to launder RMT'd plat through. It would be very easy to then say that the plat or items you obtained illicitly were obtained through casinos and it would be very hard to confirm/refute the legitimacy of such a claim. With casinos now gone, it leaves RMT'ers without a reliable means of connecting buyers to sellers. In the end it doesn't completely solve any RMT issues but it does greatly reduce the potential for it at the moment. Keeping the server RMT free is imperative to the overall well being of the server, and this is just a necessary step in accomplishing that. | ||

If investigations are easier, more plat is seized or RMT mules banned. The more inventory used for RMT is seized, the less profitable the business becomes, and the less people participate in it. At what point in that train of logic do you disagree?
