I did ask u not to... buut if u insist...
Trading cards And lootboxes have the same "gambling mechanics"..
The only difference with lootboxes is there are no ways to cash out, unlike regular gambling like at the casino, and unlike the trading cards and card shops... the only difference is ya can't cash out rs items. Of the 3, casino, cards, and rs, all of which use the same mechanics, runescape is clearly the PREDITORY stand alone.
"Same mechanics but no way to cash out..."
U say that's alright because we know they have no value before purchasing lootbox products. But then we're not really purchasing anything, we're donating to jagex, but runescape in not my church, sorry.
However, I am of the opinion people should do what they want to do... if u dont want to buy lootboxes, don't... if u can't play a game with lootboxes, don't.
Runescape isn't doing us regular players any "good" anyway... Nothing anyone can suggest will make runescape a "good for u".. Y'all can harp on about being vegans and how healthy u are... but then come onto runescape which has never done any good for any player.
Runescape is one of the very many PREDITORS. Instead of spending $100 on 1 yrs rs membership and playing it all year, u'd be better off buying $100 worth of packets of Pokemon and without even opening them, chucking them in the bin and not playing rs all year.
I believe our discussion was on EA comparing the RNG mechanics of their Ultimate Team Pack to Kinder Surprise, not on whether Jagex's TH is more predatory than UTP or Kinder Egg.
If you really insist to call TH predatory because it doesn't give you anything outside the game, then be my guest and call bond and membership predatory too because they never give you anything outside the game... but as you mentioned you knew it already but you still play the game.

I dont play fifa. Im not differentiy evaluating each lootbox. Lootboxes are the same across all games, idc about odds or any of that really... just focusing on "lootbox".
Im non membs on all my accounts... I haven't logged in game for days and days... And even when I do I only log in for seconds to check my 10s of billions in ge.
I don't play much at all anymore but that is not exactly due to th... I like th...
U have more problems now tho...
Buys a bond, get a bond...
Buys membership, gets membership...
Buys keys, gets I dont even know what = gambling.
Th is gambling as much as trading cards are, but much more PREDITORY due to the fact there is no way to cash out and disallowed duplicate purple rares.
+ this is an rsc account soo... saying "but u play anyway" is completely moot cos I was here before all th.
Thanks for playing...
So you have no problem with EA comparing their RNG surprise mechanics to Kinder Eggs, which was what we were talking about to begin with, anymore, right?
Buy a bond, convert to TH keys.
Buy membership, play for gp, buy a bond, convert to TH keys.
What's the problem?
Buy membership, go kill Telos... Oh! Don't even know what = gambling?
Go kill Telos... OMG, got a Telos pet... Go kill 9000 more Telos... No more pets because duplicate pets don't drop. And that's not predatory gambling but TH doesn't give duplicate UNIQUE items is?
OK...OK... You still got your lucky Telos pet drop.. Oh Goody! Now, "sell Telos pets for $100 real money!!".. uh oh... You can't cash out any pixels.. it is against the game EULA anyway... and that's not predatory gambling but you can't cash out items from TH makes it predatory gambling?

I do have a problem with ea comparing kinder surprise.
U kept bring that up tho and idk anything about it. I kept on talking about trading cards.
It's the th part... Ya can buy bonds in osrs... Ya can use they bonds for rune coins etc too... somebody paid $s for those bonds.. bonds which are used for th which is obviously an unknown prize. And if they claim th is not gambling because everyone wins a prize is true, than the lottery isn't gambling either, keep your ticket as a prize if u want.
What's the wrong?
Paying $s to get nothing.
Paying $s to get random prizes.
Playing the game is not gambling. Loots are not gambling. Partyroom drops are not gambling. PvP and duel arena is NOT gambling.
Gambling is using REAL money in a game of chance. Idc if u paid gp for the bond, someone spent $s on it.
Your lottery ticket is not a price just like your purchase receipt is not a product you paid for.
Duel Arena IS GAMBLING when they gamble real money via a 3rd party site. OSRS (former) Jmod Aiyza wrote a warning blog to violators already.
Too bad what you said is gambling but in fact IRL they are not, and what you think is not gambling can in a certain way be gambling IRL.
Too bad you don't even pay and just use your free TH keys. You can't even voice your opinions with your wallet like the consumers. Just too bad to you but you can always share the joy with the players who play and win TH.
