Well as many of you know Jagex wanted to 'fight' the gambling community, but as good as Jagex is *insert sarcasm here* it has taken them a while before even saying anything about patching gambling. I looked through the forums and found a post Mod Mark had and I quote "Just a few comments from me on some of the points you have raised:
Gambling. Flower Games
Yes, I did state that we were working on some content to deal with the "mobile gambling devices" (like flowers, eggs, seal emotes etc) that players use. And we are! There is clearly an appetite for high risk gameplay within RuneScape, and I want to ensure we are giving people safer alternatives when we remove things like the flower gambling from the game.
Please note that any alternative games we add will only involve ingame gold or items, not real world cash.
New Skills in 2013
We are already working on the first new skill. I am hoping that we will have it ingame before the summer. its going to be a "gathering" skill like fishing or mining.
More posts to follow....

If you don't trust my link, QFC for forums is 14-15-992-64203561 (page 42). My thought on this... for one in my opinion it will ruin the economy (as far as rares/nex/spirit shields go) why? because every host has atleast one, (and most have quite a few rares) Why do I think all that will crash a bit in game, because there will be supply, but no demand (flower hosts/people betting for rares etc) and as far as gp prices... I really can see them lowering to .10-.19. I just wanted to see others opinions, but please keep it mature, discuss and don't flame. Thanks.
