    Yup, nothing stopping people from rigging irc's now adays. I think its fair to say that we should stay away from gambling, and if ever we get the urge, just turn to staking for a FAIR 50/50 odds :D

    Don't care, gambling was there for me since I did IRC dicing, but quit the game as a whole. IRC gambling should still be around, however.

    I didn't care about gambling in the game. I wasn't a host or I didn't gamble . If it was still in the game to this day then I think I would be a host by now since my cash stack has increased by a lot.

    Gambling was never something that affected players at large except for the grand exchange spam. I'm glad they removed it for that reason alone, but I have nothing against gambling itself.

    Personally, I never gambled. I've never been one to risk money that I worked for on the chance of getting more back. I'd rather put some time into my account and earn more money.

    If gamblers didn't spam so much, people might not have been as vocal on RSOF about it - one of those things you realize in hindsight.

    I do think Jagex targeting different parts of its player base, one after the other, can't be a good thing, though.

    Thats true. Theres people who will develop problems thats certain but the majority will play gamble on rs only for the game so id say, let the people gamble if they wanna play.

    I disagree with the ban. If people want to gamble, let them. And if you don't like gambling, then don't do it. I only see Jagex and players benefiting from this.

    I'm very unhappy it was removed. I never hosted, but I bet occasionally and I think it was an interesting part of the game that didn't need to be removed. I like the idea of capitalism and a free market inside of Runescape and it seems unfair to remove gambling just because people were getting rich off it.

    About fucking time. Gambling is just scamming cleverly. It's toxic to the core, and it takes advantage of kids who you con into thinking they have a good chance of making bank. Not to mention IRCs are rigged for better odds for the hosts.

    Anyone defending gambling is just butthurt they can't scam as easily.

    They didn't remove gambling "just because people were getting rich off it". They removed it because people were getting BROKE off of it. All it does is increases the gap between the wealthy and poor. This makes players unhappy, causes economical struggles, and just isn't fun. You say you like the idea of capitalism but i'm not quite sure you can compare Runescape to real life like that. In real life, you can't just go out on the street and play dice. Gambling is regulated by the government, and is only allowed in America because it generates profits for them. Runescape gambling did nothing for Jagex, so I have no idea why you expect them to allow it.

    I honestly miss gambling as well but I'm sure people will always find some sort of way to gamble or spend their money on.

    I miss it due to the fact of where have all the big name players gone? where are all the big high rollers now?! I used to love that atmosphere amongst fc's and what not.

    I don't miss it due to the fact that the distribution of income amongst the RS was becoming increasingly separated.
