Gambling House

[JustMy2Cents]

I think a "gambling house" concept where players can gamble for gils/items/leves/etc would be nice to have, adding a little "flavor" to the game.

The actual gambling may come in the form of some card game, chocobo race, etc where players competes against each other.

Anyway, just a thought.

I think a gambling house would be fun, even more so if they added the card game to it and held toouraments.

The bad things I see is that gold selling would become worse.

From my understanding, the Pugilist Guild is a gambling house. It would be cool if we could play card games and such at the guild, but like Katt said, I could see the RMTs getting worse.

I would love for a Triple Triad card game.This could add so much more to the game especially if they had monsters dropping cards. Also a gambling house would be great as well I think anything along these lines would be a welcomed addition.

Strip poker would be a huge attraction.

They can't because it's rated "T". Gambling in the US you must be 18 years of age so it would be against the law even in a game.

Like the idea but sadly will not happen.

It's not really gambling if it's IG items or IG currency or IG leves.

There were sanctioned gambling spots in FFXI.

Well.... then... I should be arrested for "murdering" mobs in game....
I don't think gambling laws apply here since we're not exchanging real money...

Just my 2 cents...

It actually doesn't have to be an opinion that it shouldn't fall under gambling legislation. It just simply doesn't. As long as you don't bet anything that has real currency value (like RL money, or chips that you trade in for RL money, a wristwatch, or a car or w/e item that is worth money), it doesn't fall under any gambling legislation.

One could argue RMT's and ebay can set prices on virtual currency or virtual property, but since this is not sanctioned or allowed by SE through their terms of service, that's a black market. Not falling under any customer protection laws either. Thus gambling for gils or items, even between players, would be legal and not subject to any gambling laws. If SE allowed you to buy gils or items for real money, then it'd be a different story. But since they aren't...
