i think that would be a wonderful idea, sirken. not only would it solve the issue by introducing a tax on players (because odds for casino are always better than yours), it would generally be targetted at players who have too much money to throw around, are desperate for plat, or are addicted to gambling and prices would inevitably drop. also it would fix a side issue of no more EC tunnel casino spam and scams.

DO EEEET!

or you could just introduce a head tax on anyone worth over X amount (say 200K plat) of 30-60%. that would work too...

edit: i also really like the idea of being able to win no longer dropped items such as guise since i wasnt around for the period where they dropped
bless your soul. since im not a player, money stays in staff hands, not goes back to economy, and of course GM Sirken will never scam you or any other player. so players can make very large bets will full confidence that if they win they will get paid out.
the tax thing wouldnt work, people would just hide their wealth in items (everything from fungi/CoF/Manastones to stacks of expensive and rare gems)
Wanna win items? show up to a super fun GM event next time it happens [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] they are rare on purpose, but the rarer they are, the more appreciated they are.
