Should gambling be allowed in tibia?

Question

In last few days people were allowed to roll die on depo.  At last Cipsoft blocked this function  again. I know many people who still play dice by using it on the floor. I don’t know how situation looks on other servers but on Antica and Secura, gamblers compete for depo spots, shame and block the other gamblers. Some of these noob chars stay online all day, hold yalahar/thais depo spots, they dance to stay online and sometimes yell messages. It's impossible to find an empty spot.. Most gamblers are low levels. They want only earn cash in this game. They are not real Tibia players.

Should gambling be allowed in tibia?

Do you have idea how Cipsoft can solve problem with gamblers in depo?

Answer 1

I think gambling should be allowed, but the bots / macros should be dealt with. I've had many great days playing dice with friends, or hosting a mini-casino ingame (including things like rat races, etc.) and would be rather sad if those because against the rules.

I share your frustration with the current situation though... And I hope a solution will be found soon.

Answer 2

Well, a friend of mine was a true tibian gambler, but not by using noob char on bot, he just liked it, did it manually. You know, some players like hunts, good exp/h, great skill in hands, others rather RPG things, boss-hunting... he used to spend time on gambling. And because of bunch of botters Cipsoft destroyed all fun he had with it. I think its quite unfair. The problem are still botters, not gambling at all.:(

Comments

I think separate place for gamblers should help with bots a little (dice can't be use in depo so gamblers can use own houses). I would love to see empty depo spots on Antica again.

Answer 3

I think that just like in life you need to have restraint to gamble. Dicer is always winner, not you when you can't stop. I have a neutral attitude towards this. I understand why the dice is blocked, but on the other I don't know who bothers it. 

Answer 4

If CipSoft doesn't mind dominndos which are equivalent of organized crime than I don't see a reason why they would be bothered by some bot-casinos.

Answer 5

I am a gambler sometimes (when I wanna earn cash quick). In my opinion 80% people who won cash - they will back and lose it another day. In my opinion positive side of gambling is quicking earn cash. I don't have to worry when I need premum in game, outfits or if someone don't pay for hunt together. Negative side of gambling is addiction. Most people play it and believie they can win and they don't count cash that they lost. They can lost equipment and few days later buy it back and lose again. I also don't like when most of gamblers wait only for "drunk client". Is not really fun...they want clean him to 0. At last I think gambling can destroy people's life so shouldn't be allowed even If it is quick way to earn cash for me.
