Your prohibition stripped a classic feature from the server while you're claiming you've made it more classic. That's ain't right.

On Innoruuk during this time period casinos were banned. I understand that it was different server to server, but them banning casinos doesn't make it less classic, it makes them classic do a different server's standards.
RMTing was not really a problem during this era in live, it just wasn't as pervasive. Just as laws in the real world have to evolve to cover new inventions and innovations, so do the laws in our fantasy world. Just as 200 years ago there was no law against drinking and driving, and now there is, before there was not a need to curb RMTs, and now there is. No one is saying that it doesn't suck that a portion of the game that some people enjoyed needed to be removed in order to protect the legitimacy of the in-game economy; in fact, everyone involved in making the decision has expressed their sorrow that it had to be this way. The sad fact of the matter is, with current resources, it does HAVE to be this way. There are some great suggestions here about how to keep in-game player casinos going in a legitimate way, they would really work if Project 1999 could hire another full-time GM to police them. Unfortunately, they can't.
TL;DR version:
Everyone agrees it sucks, but there are legitimate reasons for banning casinos.
It does not make the server less classic.
Even though you have great ideas about how to make the system work, its best to just drop it and move on.
