The kind of "predatory gambling" in online games the UK governments are investigating are actually the duel arena and 3rd party staking kind, not TH. :D

Stakers, don't worry though. They are just investigating more for the academic side. They are not going to shut down duel arena. Nonetheless, loot boxes with no real money player trading is totally not gambling, A My Friend! :D

Duel arena should be removed too. Or taxed.

Not in RS3 since nobody is found real world trading or advertising 3rd party sites. So it is still just legal "gambling" or simulated gambling. It is not going to be removed, and I doubt it will be taxed since participation in Duel Arena on the RS3 side is very light.

Rwt happens all the time in rs3. No one gets caught for it at the duel arena. You don't need to advertise anything. I need my blue charms back.

Elite Stack, sure there are RWT in every more established online game. However, as long as those games make a strong statement RWT is not allowed in their games, whatever legal among other real world implications the RWTers inflict are not the responsibilities of the video game companies.

I think Jagex is fine when they made statements about game integrity and anti-3rd party skin gambling in OSRS. There is nothing wrong found so far in RS3. Of course it is fine. Nothing else needs to be done.

Yuck, Jagex practicing its scummy gambling ad spam again:



Key sales doing so poorly now that you gotta offer not just double but triple keys to get people to buy into your fake currency, Jagex? Maybe you should finally realize that the short term cash grabbing isn't healthy for the long term, and just go back to focusing on membership only; it'll be a win-win that way. You get your profit and we get an actually fun game! > )

So key sales was doing so poorly when Jagex gave double keys? So membership was also doing so poorly that Jagex had to add summer 3 for 2 sales and such?

Oh wait... both keys and membership sales have been going up years after years. All kinds of companies using "sales" and "promotions" to attract customers. The products don't sell will never even be marketed or offered any bonuses. That's probably why the Runepass experiment hasn't returned.

Biggest joke ever, that's why Fallout76 went on sale a week after launch because it did so well right? In fact, it sold so well that some outlets were giving it away for free by bundling it PS4 controllers. °l||l° Modest Skillers T7 Citadel | Skilling clan recruiting players. °l||l°

What did Jagex added Premier Club, retail card promotions, Twitch Prime, 3 for 2 summer membership deals etc to sell RS membership? What did Jagex add Portable Vic to sell Bonds? Why did Jagex run SGS sales every week and keep pushing for deeply discounted Aura sales?

Are membership, bond and SGS all selling poorly? Biggest joke ever. :D :D :D
