or are me and my friends the only people who hate eq casinos? I never liked them in live, and no i'm not just a sore loser in one of their games. To me its maybe a small step up from begging people for stuff at level 1.... idk

spam has always existed in games though.

There was this free game i played and there was this gold spammer who kept going on and i complained to the admins about it.

The game sucked so oh well.

I never liked the casino's. They spam public channels with huge messages, then they decide to sit their shop in the most populated area to get mass /rand spam.

On the plus there is /ignore. My list has at least 10 or 15 people not just the casino runners but the people gambling because those rands are just as much spam....

Admittedly...Last week Kavanah, we all know and love kavanah, was sitting at tunnel entrance doing his casino thing and apparently hobby had red flagged him the night before. So I hopped my sk turned in my book and killed him, was a nice little bit of justice.

I felt bad though, he was bound in gfay and you can buff or port or rez people so he had to take the boat back. Sorry again Kavanah! :(

You only have to move out of /say range for those. Geez, do you people search for stuff to whine about?

Obviously you can move, but casino's tend to sit in the highest populate area. So when everyone moves to avoid it, guses what They're just going to follow you.

It's business, random spam is like free PR

Create a new chat window, set the filter so all /randoms go there and minimise it.

Yeah I could do that, I could move out of the area/zone, or i could just stand next to the casino and /rand all day to screw with them.

There are a lot of things I could do to remedy the situation, however there's 1 thing these casino's could do to solve all of this. get out of the tunnel. There is no need to do that in the tunnel there are several empty buildings in ec that have no guards no agroing mobs that you could spam in on all day but instead they decide to sit in the most populated area and spam.

Do I feel bad /ignoring all the people that are doing the casino? no not at all, all it really means is I don't have to read your spam anymore and the next time someone asks for buffs....sorry I can't hear you.

casinos lose business by moving to an inconvenient location

you lose nothing by walking 3 steps away from them

Hardly a "scam", you know the odds, you know it's against you, you either choose to gamble or not - where's the scam?

wtf, this guy deliberately went pvp and somehow thought he wouldn't annoy people to the point of having pk alts go after him?

I don't partake of the casinos, but no - I don't think it is. A scam involves defrauding a person, and there's no defrauding going on. Players know the odds up front, so unless the dealers have some way of influencing a /random, why do you think it's a scam?

I'd like to know why these Casinos are supposed to be scams myself.

That's like... how casinos work.

I guess the term "scam" is highly subjective, but the odds are stacked heavily in favor of the house.

LOL

It's either a scam or it isn't, it's not subjective. Again, where's the attempt to defraud?

As far as the odds being stacked heavily in favour of the house, well some games are, some games are a bit more even (never even though, that's the point - risk versus reward). I noted some of Richgirl's games, the best odds of winning were a 43.75% chance of doubling your bet (Beat the Dealer). The worst was 10% chance of winning, but you get 8x your bet (Pick 1 or 2).
