ItzDeffiliate Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 All this dice talk has given me an amazing idea. I was just looking at another topic talking about the price of whips dropping due to the fact that they never leave the game, but what if JAgex made their own official casino, and instead of betting coins they have a list of items you can exhange for betting tokens. They could load the list with items which are increasing in volume. Also, the exchange rate could be made greater for items that are worse off than others. Example:Whip : GE Price: 1m <- Extremely high volume - Worth 1.2m betting tokensRune Longsword (Just example): Ge Price 10k <- Moderately high volume - Worth 10k betting tokens. Please respond with what you think of this idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItzDeffiliate Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 No offense but if I wanted to gamble ill go waste it at irl casinos with the indians... Plenty of people already gamble in RS, whether it's illegitimate dicing or boxing. Definitely can create a lot of problems. But since you made this post care to tell me what exactly is wrong with runescapes economy right now? Over-inflated items was what this idea was targeting.

Deathknell Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Jagex has no idea how much currency should be worth and they mess with it all the time. Personally I think they should stay out of it. One of the good parts of being a DIY player is never having to worry about the "economy." I'm like a hot mess, but without the alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Smither Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Ok so you create a money sink part of the game that not everyone will be interested in. Furthermore, JaGex would be endorsing gambling, and that is not a child friendly activity. If JaGex sees the need to deflate the amount of money in the economy, they will create skills and armours that drain money drastically. They've done this in the past and will continue to do so to regulate the economy when they see fit. Right now, there is remaining inflation, but it's not as rampant as it was. In other words, the economy is fine.

Just go to Vegas for real. On Topic: I dont think there is anything wrong with the economy to warrant such a casino for those reasons; however, I think it is an interesting idea about trading items into the game for casino tokens. If anything, it would just be some fun. I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autist Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 Yeah, sure, make a casino into one of the biggest online games where the majority of players are children. Gambling their money in runescape will in no way encourage them to deposit real money to real online casinos, nor will they ever be more tempted to go into a real life casino. :rolleyes: And my irl gambling luck is rather good (in the positives atm so) JEBUS pagesus I can not help myself. Will it ever get through your skull that there is no such thing as "gambling luck"?And that even if you win at a casino you still lose? (Excluding poker vs other players) When will you people get it? It's not rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSBDavid Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 The only want to fix the economy is for the noobs to spend their way out of debt and for Mod Mmg to release a stimulus package. This game is aimed at 13 year olds/robotic kids not 18+ which is the age of suffrage in most countries.

Obviously you can't play the numbers of the game but it is still possible to get lucky and win 5 in a row just as it is possible to get unlucky and lose five in a row.

DERPMASTERS56 Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 I don't think adding in-game casino's would work as that would add to the problem. The only way I see fixing the economy would be jagex having mass ban waves of bots weekly or even daily in hopes of rising the cost of items due to a giant disruption in the supply.
