Opinions on the latest announcement!

[Nevy]

Casinos are simply a method of wealth re-distribution and Contraband is, on the other hand, creating in-game money with no limitation at a far superior rate. 

I've seen that the most frequently posted argument is that it encourages people to purchase money-packs and would actually question this both in the sense that it's unfounded and also in that if it were true this isn't necessarily the issue at hand and it would actually be beneficial to the server as the server(s) run off of these donations. 

Placing a maximum bet limitation is honestly extremely off-putting considering this is a legitimate opportunity for players new and old to earn their place here. Anyone is able to create a casino and operate it. New players, however, have to go and start off with stricter limitations to bets as they wouldn't be able to fund the losses they might take on. Running a casino isn't easy money. The risk to reward is fair and in the end, it is up to the individual whether or not they would like to spend their in-game money in a casino. 

Restrictions on this form of role-playing & in-game business would not be beneficial to the server economy but would simply restrict something that has long been a monumental aspect of the game-mode.

Some of you mentioned that if you looked at the statistics page you would notice that the majority of the leading individuals were those that were involved in the casino industry and I would ask why this is problematic. It takes money to make money and we want to encourage in-game entrepreneurship. What would your alternative be? That someone earns their place on the top of the leaderboards by farming contraband in a metal base?
