The other more game-y worlds will be just fine. Hotbutton mashing to kill foozles who may drop items is significantly different than the kind of random number generation taking place with gambling. There is likely some element of skill, regardless of what the wannabe hardcore kids tell you. Let’s not ignore the fact that it doesn’t look like traditional gambling and that the intent is likely different. I don’t see how spending a monthly sub fee is in any way reasonably analogous to placing a bet.

I’m more..interested that LL have chosen to go “banned as of now” rather than “in thirty days..”. It dosn’t give me an overly favourable impression.

I think converting it back to money is the problem. I suppose as long as a company only allowed you to buy objects but not sell them for real world money, they might avoid it.

Maybe now they’ll become a place worth visiting.
