We hope that this change will make for a safer trading community and help protect the players on our server.

Well that's a nice sentiment but it's well known to most of the server that casinos will do anything to protect their reputation and are considered the most reliable people in the tunnel to help someone with an item or plat transfer. I've done 1000 of em.

Welcome to less safe trading community.

Who the heck is that known to? I would NEVER give a Casino operator money or an item for transfers.

If I need to transfer something and a friend isn't on, I will go to a level 60 with a well known guild tag to transfer.

In fact, every thread I've seen about newbies transferring items, that is the suggestion to do so safely. I've not once seen it suggested that going to Casinos is a means of safe transfers.

Best part of the thread is the "discrimination" and the guy who brought up Rosa Parks, but there's also the guy comparing congress to EQ EMU, while at the same time being a moran saying "Is attacking a blue con mob ok anymore" so much good stuff!

My two cents; obviously there are some people who are upset about the ban because they ran casinos and never generated any negative feedback from it (looking at Tookie -Antonican Gaming Commission-). How about the GMs introduce some kind system around it to legitimatise it. For example, only approved players can run casinos, they need to pay some kind of fee and provide collateral (i.e. insurance) in case anything goes bad. Anyone found to be running a casino illegally = ban.

Thoughts?

I've often used casinos to transfer items. Safe and effective. Shame to see them all have to go.

Removing meat gambling from this server is a BLATANT attempt to cover-up GM-run real meat trading. Deru and his jackbooted thugs shut down Greengrocer and laugh all the way to the bank--their pockets full of fine smoked meats. SHAME on you, shame on all of you!

Oh you can buy all the meat you want in Thurgadin once Velious comes out right?
Disgusting. I hope you choke on all of those bear sandwiches.


Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have the exact measure of the injustice and wrong which will be imposed on them.

Oh nice, I can clear all my characters' ignore lists now, just as I was able to when casinos were banned on my live server. Not a huge quality of life improvement for the server, but an improvement none-the-less.
