Gambling

Post by Unangwata » Fri Sep 18, 2020 3:23 pm

This may be questionable, but how about some underworld quest chain for illegal gambling ?

Once completed you could try your luck and gamble. Bet and randomly win or lose.
To prevent addiction there could be limit how many times you can bet per day. Or if you feel mature enough bet until you lose it all lol.

Or if we go along with safe theme of WoW then scrap the idea.

Maybe if it was a roleplaying event with a player playing the house and others the players, maybe. but just slapping a lottery machine unto wow as a quest is pointless. It could either create gold out of thin air, or suck gold out of players depending on rng.

I do not think devs should add quests for gambling. Players can host their own gambling events, such as death rolling.

This sounds like a Cata daily.
Weekly Goblin lotteries ala EverQuest 2 would be cool, but there is no need for the playerbase to try to burden the staff with extra work when this can be organized by the players themselves. If nobody else does it, I'll host one on my Goblin after the xpac is released.

And what's great about it is the house can scam the gamblers and just say it's accurately roleplaying a typical goblin

Exactly!
JK the house will take a cut if I'm running it but it'll all be handed back to noobs and fresh raiders to help people get the ball rolling.

We're going to have a gambling house in Orgrimmar in the expansion.

How else is an enterprising goblin supposed to get himself some raid gear around here unless he bankrolls a raid team with somebody else's "charity" gold?
