Casinos

[zforrestal]

You have just as many people arguing for the allowance of player run casinos as are opposed... A simple.. "Gamble at your own RISK' rule should be the implement not a Ban... Gamble at your OWN RISK relieves the GM's from having to deal with any issues regarding player run Casinos.. why can't you just say that please...

EVE developers strive to keep the "sandboxness" in tact and try to balance risk vs reward with each game-change, where as every other game the developers cave to the whiners and turn it into carebear themepark

Compare EVE to EQLive. One is still a strong sandbox MMO where things you achieved in the first year still mean something. where the other one has been butchered to shit

In EVE, you are never safe from other players. Whether that be getting your ship blown up or all of your $ scammed

You'd get mad if you were discriminated against too, don't be a bully please.

On that note too... casinos get a Ban.. but they they'll allow a guild inviting erudites only under a certain guild tag being blatantly racist that seems fair.

How are we supposed to use our own judgment on what constitutes gambling (as per Derubael) if we are not told the aspects of gambling that caused them to ban it in the first place (as per Derubael)? The logical incoherence on display here is staggering.

what constitutes gambling

gam·ble
ˈgambəl/
verb
gerund or present participle: gambling

1.
play games of chance for money; bet.
"she was fond of gambling on cards and horses"
synonyms: bet, place/lay a bet on something, stake money on something, back the horses, game;
informalplay the ponies
"he started to gamble more often"

Does that help?

That definition could be used to include:
Rolling for a piece of gear that just dropped
Attacking a blue con mob (it's quite a gamble, but you might win some loot)
Paying someone to camp a spawn for you (you're paying money and gambling that the mob will pop)

Without some kind of specificity in regards to what gambling means in EQ, the rule is overly vague and open to interpretation. Our laws are overly specific for a reason.

I think you deserve to be bullied for comparing yourself to Rosa Parks. I mean, damn brah. Come on.
