According "if you pay money for a chance" idea, clue Scrolls are gambling. I pay membership fees so I can do clues. I pay membership so I can boss and do slayer for a chance at drops.

The intent of the law is to prevent cheating. That's the problem with loot boxes. TH and Solomon's Store isn't going to give you an unfair advantage.

"Winning" in this game is more trimmed comp cape, than anything else.

Really scaping the bottom of the barrel there. Not sure if troll or jmod.

I'm using your points. I'm showing that now you're saying 'maybe'. That's part of my points. You're trying to use the letter of the law, instead of the spirit. When I write "no one is gambling" there will naturally be exceptions to every rule, as a few people have maxed from TH, but that's not the norm. That's not the vast majority of players. We are here to grind and enjoy the game.

What you need to show is, that removing TH from the game would vastly alter RuneScape. If you can show that, then you'd have a point.
You got that wrong way around, i don't need to prove anything:

79.We recommend that loot boxes that contain the element of chance should not be sold to children playing games, and instead in-game credits should be earned through rewards won through playing the games. In the absence of research which proves that no harm is being done by exposing children to gambling through the purchasing of loot boxes then we believe the precautionary principle should apply and they are not permitted in games played by children until the evidence proves otherwise.

Nice personal attacks there and attempt to divert from the topic. Show me that removing TH would vastly alter how RuneScape is played.

Not really interested in whatever youre on about there. That is beyond obvious how removing th would alter the game and how it is played. Point I am mking is that you don't pay membership per chance. You pay it, you can do as many clues as you like for no extra cost. If Jagex charged per clue scroll then there would be a problem, just like they give keys and then charge for more keys per key. That is the problem and where the harm is. And those of you who PERSONALLY defend Jagex make it personal not me. Would love to see a gold post defending it and not just random accounts who are likely trolls.

Now you're dodging your own point. First I was using the points you're stating - showing why it's not a valid point. Now I'm showing, if removing TH from the game doesn't affect the game, TH is not a loot box.

Is it a surprise mechanic? Lmfao@u. Gold post plox jiggyjamflex

Question still remains Lola, how does removing TH from the game alter the way people play Runescape? Are people going to rage quit? Are people going to train skills differently? You're trying to say that TH gives a massive advantage. So I'm asking you to verify your point. Let's remove TH from the game - what changes? My Threads:

98. We consider loot boxes that can be bought with real-world money and do not reveal their contents in advance to be games of chance played for money’s worth. The Government should bring forward regulations under section 6 of the Gambling Act 2005 in the next parliamentary session to specify that loot boxes are a game of chance. If it determines not to regulate loot boxes under the Act at this time, the Government should produce a paper clearly stating the reasons why it does not consider loot boxes paid for with real-world currency to be a game of chance played for money’s worth.

All I see when you type is blah blahblah at this point, gold post plox.
