Jonanananas Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Ummm....at Runefest, Jagex said they wouldn't be introducing an in-game casino because it would be a "legal nightmare" due to gambling laws... Excuse me, but isn't this gambling? A lot more than an in-game casino even would be, considering that GP only have real world value if you break the rules....whereas here there's no doubt about the real world value...?

Wouldn't they lose MASSIVE amounts of money in charge-back fees from the parents who the CC belongs to? Pressing the button in game takes you to the Jagex store place whatever it's called. There you can select the amount of spins and the payment method. If you select card it'll have your details there already then you just need to click on the confirm button and it'll complete. That's it. Once you click that button there's no chance to back out. So yes, it's possible for kids to put it on their parents credit cards if they're paying for their membership that way with no extra effort.

Mercifull Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 So they removed in-game gambling (dice, horses etc) because it was bad but have now just implemented REAL LIFE GAMBLING! Bloody hell.

Saradomin_Mage Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 What is real-world trading? Real-world trading is the term used for the real-world purchase of services with the intention of advancing your Jagex character. This includes, but is not limited to: purchasing gold or items in RuneScape, buying a RuneScape account as well as paying someone to increase your account's experience (XP) in a skill or for them to complete quests and activities on your behalf. Why do we have this rule? We have this rule for two reasons: 1. We dont want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldnt affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape.2. Often when players sell items in RuneScape for real cash, the items are actually stolen. When a player purchases a RuneScape account, there is a high probability that the account may have been stolen. Stolen accounts will always be returned to the original owner.:) In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Kimberly Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Thanks for the info Darkdude. I hope they change that soon. If they're going to make updates to farm in the cash, they better at least do it wisely. That's a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bxpprod Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 One could argue there is no wager so it's not actually "gambling". You are purchasing content (microtransactions).

DarkDude Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It also defaults to 10 spins and card so it's possible to pay for it without even selecting any options, just clicking the confirm button. What's also interesting is that the email I received went straight to my spam inbox, so it's possible parents won't even see the email about it (assuming they've used their email for the account). This was on Gmail so I imagine it'll happen to a lot of people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me this is April fools... Apparently it doesn't count as gambling in a real life sense because you cannot win anything of real world value....What if someone wins a lucky divine spirit shield and sells the account for real life money then? That's a real world value, IMO. "Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come." "An imperfect man can do great deeds, and a great man imperfect ones.

wolfmon56 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The awkward moment when Jagex realizes they just provided a loophole for goldfarmers to use when jagex tries to sue them. Jagex states something along the lines of "Trading rs items for real cash is against the rules." Yet that is exactly what they're doing. All a goldfarming company would have to do is provide evidence of the rule, jagex breaking that themselves and boom, case is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How thoughtful of them. It's that simple? You don't have to go through an order confirmation screen or anything? You literally just have to press a buttion? I really hope not! Without multi-factor authentication (mobile app/text message/secure key) not only can a malicious person "hack" my account (phishing, social engineering, persuading jagex they are me) but that person can now, without knowing any of my CC details, buy a shit load of spins on the squeel and cost me REAL money! I am cross.... very cross. This goes against EVERYTHING Jagex have said in the past about gambling and buying your way to the top and basically makes everything they have told us at RuneFest worthless. Can we ever trust what they say again? :( Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

They are giving access to a part of the game called "squeel of fortune". Really don't want to defend Jagex on this issue but they are not directly offering items for irl money any more than p2p gives access to more features for money.
