Virtual currency that can cost real-life money. It opens avenues to scamming, hacking and real-world trading, and the fact we have no gambling right now is exactly why those three are so scarce on the server. 2 1 Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very good point on that, But then again if you put restrictions on such thing it's sort of a win-win for other players that may like that aspect of rsps. This topic is just to enlighten myself on how others feel about it and open a discussion.

Sondrealt Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I honestly only see cons and no pros with gambling, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprout Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Am also against. Firstly, player run gambling is against the runescape tos you shouldn't be playing flower poker and dice bags were removed so linking it to that is really irrelevant. *gives spanking for playing flower poker* I dislike the spamming that comes with it 'gambling x amount come to whereeveriam' People deciding they are just going to yolo gamble entire bank and win or loose to decide if they are quitting or not. Adding restrictions wont effect this, it'll just lead to people begging for restricitions to be lifted or bypass it by saying 'trade me after' Expanding on above, adds more work for staff to be looking out for Gambling creates eco hoarders, people who become so rich they are just online to gamble all day and there goal is to clean people or open rivers of tears when people 'run' after winning which as @Yggdrasilsaid, it creates an unhealthy environment. 5 minutes ago, Sondrealt said: I honestly only see cons and no pros with gambling, This ^ I honestly see no pros either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Nhs Posted May 10, 2021 Administrator Share Posted May 10, 2021 I don't like the idea of gambling coming into Velheim. However, the duel arena could be a fun addition but a fast way to lose a lot of players. Seen it happen too many times. 17 minutes ago, Yggdrasil said: Gambling is extremely unhealthy to basically every game. 14 minutes ago, Yggdrasil said: Virtual currency that can cost real-life money. ^These 100%. I started to play games of chance online because I started to do them on Runescape and different PS, and developed a really bad gambling addition that almost ruined my life. 15 minutes ago, Yggdrasil said: It opens avenues to scamming, hacking and real-world trading, and the fact we have no gambling right now is exactly why those three are so scarce on the server. ^Perfectly said! 2 Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parlay Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Adding no stakes /gamblimg duel arena would be nice. Opens up possibilities for pking tourneys etc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arcadiez Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I get behind the duel arena as i thing its a fun feature. However for everything else, eg dice/flower poker etc is a nono. Always risk for scammers, house always wins. Plus as many stated it brings a lot of toxicity into the game which we want to avoid. 3 Spoiler Top notch mod response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I have said this before, but I will say it again.. I have a few friends from RS that gambles their bank, and also see rsps go down, and players quitting due to gambling. It is not healthy, I can literally see no pros with gambling in Velheim, as people are already stinking rich (obviously Velheim is 3 years old, so don't expect anything less). But don't need the gambling part, Velheim is fine as it is, also don't want to see people quitting and doing bad decisions because of it, kudos for making an discussion for people out of this thought. 3 Spoiler MY GUIDES: How to get to the Travelling MerchantHow to get to the Travelling Merchant - Topic 3269 Chompy Birds GuideChompy Birds Guide - Topic 3278 Where to hand in Chronicle FragmentsWhere to hand in Chronicle Fragments - Topic 3597 How to make Bullseye Lantern (Ironman Friendly)How to make Bullseye Lantern (Ironman Friendly) - Topic 3617 Giant Mimic Boss - D&DGiant Mimic Boss D&D - Topic 3684 Player Owned Ports GuidePlayer Owned Ports Guide - Topic 3720 Bork Boss - D&DBork Boss D&D - Topic 3785 How to get to the Lost Grove - Slayer CreaturesHow to get to the Lost Grove & the Slayer Creatures - Topic 3800 Raptor Key & Chest - Raptor MonstersRaptor Key, Chest & Raptor Monsters - Topic 3806 Ancient Invention Guide/OverviewAncient Invention Guide/Overview - Topic 3821 Crafting Guide - 1-99+ Crafting Guide - 1-99+ - Topic 3901 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Sandstorm Posted May 11, 2021 Founder Share Posted May 11, 2021 The main reasons I made a rule for 'No gambling' is: people betting their banks and then quitting if they loose (or, betting until they loose to have a reason to quit). Whenever this happens half of the time the players then proceed to blame the game, how its setup yada yada. It's never their fault for losing, the customer's always right! toxicity, and/or scamming. When it happens, they call for staff. We deal with it. But.. we wouldn't be here to hold your hand for everything you do. I mean, who has the time to do that? So they end up shaming the server, and/or staff members because of their own incompetence (incompetence because lotsa times nubs fall for scams), ie "Omg, player X scammed me and I get no compensation? Shit staff, shit server" Just some quick general thoughts from the back of my mind. There's obviously more reasons to why I dislike gambling, like addiction, rwt, eco holders shamelessly taking some players last 10m and so on. 4 2 Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
