The brontosaurus mount lottery

You pay 5000g for your ticket once a week for the chance to win your brontosaurus mount.
You pick 4 numbers out with the range of 1-10 and if your numbers in the right order come up you win the mount.

I get some people would see this as a way of promoting rng but it’s just a bit of fun, and would add a rpg element.

5000g is easily obtainable these days.

I doubt this would fly. People could get a gambling addiction from this. I know it’s all virtual but it could lead people into gambling irl. Also kids play this.

have yourself under control and it’s fine. it’s not like you were born without brain knowing how gambling works.

Gambling addiction is an illness, I’m sorry to say people with it will get hooked regardless and is up to them to help themselves, however harsh that may sound, but I don’t mean it in a harsh way, I do not wish any illness on a person.

Not a reason to spoil a bit of fun for the rest.

Dopamine is a treacherous thing. A lot of people get addicted to gambling easier because of their brain. It’s not even their own fault really.

First up, children play this game, so no we don’t want gambling. Secondly, no one has themselves fully under control. Entire industries are built on the notion that it is possible to gull people out of their money for products or services they just don’t need. Don’t get arrogant and think that you would never fall for it.

First up we’re all someone’s child, so saying children is really clarifying the age of people here.
Secondly, you live and you learn, inexperienced people are more gullable then someone with expereince that’s life.

So to me it’s not arrogance, it is expereince. Well at least that’s what I got from their post.

brave by you calling me children get first something meaningful done in this game.

so what entire industries are abusing the stupidity of humans? sorry but that’s entirely how it sounds. yes there are cases where you can’t be blamed for when it comes to gambling but 95% of the times it is in your own hands. it’s the same with smoking.

Oh dear I think you should really read in on gambling addiction and what causes it. You completely missed the mark here.

Furthermore, children DO play this game. Saying we’re ‘kids’ for mentioning it doesn’t make any sense. I’ve heard so many tales of guildies who started playing as a kid age 10 and up. I myself started playing a long time ago when I was 15. Kids are a very real thing is this game and you can not disregard them merely because you are an adult.

WTF? How dumb are you. A ‘child’ in this context clearly refers to someone who is below the age of 16 / 18 (depending on where you live). Did I really have to explain it?

The other part is irrelevant. I was replying to someone else, it doesn’t matter because we don’t encourage children to gamble. No other arguments require discussion.

How about no?

You’re essentially justifying something that is potentially harmful to people on the basis that “they’ll learn from it” or “well experienced folks won’t be sucked in at least”.

That doesn’t mitigate the fact it exposes people to harm.

You can argue the fault is theirs because of their “low willpower” or whatever. Surely the same principle applies to drugs, yet class As are illegal? Why? Only people who have low willpower will get sucked in and that’s their fault?

Personal weaknesses are not an excuse to exploit people for money.

Are you the dwarf? Because it sure does sound like you are.

So fortune cards from cataclysm ? i made gold making those cards so i wouldnt mind that :male_detective:

hope you are impressed then

Quite the contrary I fear.

Lol ok. Take your gatekeeping elsewhere, tryhard.

Which is why nobody smokes anymore! You are a genius for solving it, all we had to do is point out its up to them!
I’ll inform the Nobel committee of your work.

What can I say. You try and share a fun idea but snowflakes are more common around Christmas I guess.
Really can’t believe how narrow minded some views I’ve read are.

I merely wished to inform you that it wouldn’t fly because it is not kids friendly. Besides blizzard is in a bind already they won’t risk such touchy subjects in their game.

you’re the one throwing around with passive insults meanwhile i am trying to make a point. you’re a very sad guy indeed.

It was always in humans hand, there are dozens of reasons why they do it regardless even them knowing it’s bad.

and if you do inform them tell them that they’re gonna send the money to you so you can search some professional education.

Exactly my point. Share a fun idea it comes down to, think of the children or let’s slap mental illness on it.

All of a sudden you can’t do nothing no more.

Tbh I think they should ban raffles in schools now promotes gambling don’t it.
