Naraku893 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 LOL. They need to stop wasting their time on this and maybe actually on work on content. Maybe something useful? One step closer to microtransactions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconut Bodywash Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Don't think it's been posted yet, pretty much sums the Squeal update up for me. Thx to MxM for parts of the sig! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwreeTak Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I don't really like where this is heading, though if I should be honest, I just tested out to buy myself some spins. Won't happen often though, with the prices they charge...And lol @ this not being RWT/gambling/buying advantage over other players with real cash.

Dire_Wolf Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Using a definition to counter critisism. TERRIBLE.He's right though.Define "Winning" in a RPG MMO context?Is receiving 50 gp a win? No. Sad approach, Runescape unstability is on it's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have preodered the game two days ago :) I was too late for the fourth closed beta, but I will be eligible to enter the others. Born for PvM got 160k RC exp from 75 spins. He calculated that it's better to find a real life job, work for two hours and spend the money you earned on SOF spins and get your RC exp, instead of RCing for 3 hours.

Jonanananas Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Is this RWT? Definitely Is this gambling? Definitely Is this gambling in the legal sense? That depends on whether the courts give virtual items(which may or may not be your property - this isn't quite sure either) a value. If there is a value in them, then it would be gambling in the legal sense, as far as I can see (No law student or anything though). It seems like they're walking fine line...but you probably wouldn't win a case against them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffy1 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I really wonder how this is legal. Is this RWT? Definitely Is this gambling? Definitely Is this gambling in the legal sense? That depends on whether the courts give virtual items(which may or may not be your property - this isn't quite sure either) a value. If there is a value in them, then it would be gambling in the legal sense, as far as I can see (No law student or anything though). It seems like they're walking fine line...but you probably wouldn't win a case against them. Going into these two posts, according to Dutch law online gambling is illegal. Gambling for minors is also illegal. The law refers to gambling as games of chance, contests, etc. Basically any kind of chance game, so wheels of fortune would fit that description too. Jagex does not have a licence for this (I seriously doubt my government allowing that), and most of the game's players are minors. :thumbup: Tip.It Website Crew Leader[hide=Quotes]I love it how Jafje comes outa nowhere and answers my questionsHehe now we know what real life does...drugs, drugs, more drugs.

Powerfrog Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It's legal. It's just sad. It would be pretty funny if this inspired the most aspie no lifers to actually go out and make money, so they can buy runescape spins. As people say, working minimum wage is technically better xp/hour than grinding certain skills. It's all just very sad, i want to laugh but i find it hard when the game i spend so much of my time on slowly RAPIDLY decays into nothingness. I'm now officially embarrassed and ashamed that i still play runescape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xInfinityx Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Step 1. Sue Jagex. Step 2. Win against Jagex. Step 3. Spend all money on Squeel Of Fortune. Step 4. Consider the life-roads not taken.

If it was the last, then lol it would sure as be illegal in some countries. With the other two options it's not quite as clear...would have to know the laws to be able to judge that...

Taltin Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) Just checked the price of a divine spirit shield and my precious shield has gone down 30m since the SOF update.

XxTearGodxX Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I just called up Insight Venture Partners NY office and asked to speak with someone who works with Jagex they said they only have someone from their Company who affiliates with Jagex and works closely to them. I got their voice mail and left them a message. Told them to quit ruining RuneScape >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
