Should the Eververse Trading Company be regulated?
The Eververse Trading Company is now in the game and looks like it's staying. It sells trinkets for silver In exchange for real money.
My question is, should this be regulated and have an age certification on it?
You can purchase random bags of emotes, horns etc and therefore it is a 'gamble' or a 'lottery' when making the purchase.
Every gambling website, app or advert carries a 'gamble responsibly' message attached to it in the UK and I believe this should be the same with ETC. I know COD does it and I don't agree with it any shape or form.
I'm curious about your feedback and as always, please be civil to each other and be respectful of others' opinions.
This is my personal opinion on the matter. I think Destiny is very addictive as it is but things change when real money is being used and I am of the view it should be regulated (along with others).

2 RepliesThe micro transaction strategy works best with games that we're built to be addictive.

4 RepliesHoly $#!%.... I think you just stumbled on a solution to the end of micro transactions. We need to petition the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Micro-Online Transactions as Income Tax Evasion for these Game Companies. We need to get the Government to Regulate it. Damn, you are brilliant!!!

1 ReplyIn British law gaming in the gambling sense means playing a game of chance for a prize (section 6(1) of the Act) and a prize means money or money’s worth (section 6(5)), therefore, if all that can be won is virtual currency that cannot be exchanged for cash or spent on items of money’s worth, it is not gaming under the Act. Therefore Eververse is not gambling, at least not by the british definition of it

The only thing it should be is eradicated!!! They know there player base is all about the CHANCE that youll get something good its a gamble everytime on every drop or engram , as soon as they realized this they sneaked in tess with her hello there gaurdians patter to -blam!- all the suckers of there money for the CHANCE youll get something different from the rest

I would.like to see it go the way of ESO Free to play, subscription for a tenner a month that gets you access to all DLC and an amount of silver each month that builds up so you can buy what you want, also you can buy the DLC with silver so you don't have to pay subscription, this works cos you can subscribe test the content and feem it worth a purchase if not you've not lost much also keeps the developers on their toes

Do you think arcade games for prizes/tickets is gambling?
-
I understand where you're coming from and I'm no fan of micro transactions, but as others have pointed out, until there is a point where you pay money and get nothing it will not be classed as gambling. You are always guaranteed something with the RNG, good or bad.

If that's gambling then they need to slap an 18 restriction on pokemon cards, same thing applies. Hand over real money for a random selection of items.

4 RepliesPeople have to be insane to spend real money on trinkets that they are charging 1/4 the cost of the full TTK price. It is a complete joke.
-
No, it's not technically gambling as your not putting up money to win money. It's a purchase. Don't put blame on a business because a consumer has no self control.

12 RepliesSomething like Loot Crate isn't gambling. Eververse isn't either.

Edited by Romney57: 12/10/2015 11:23:01 PMIt's a luck dip although I can see where you are coming from it certainly gives a starting point for training kids to throw money at an RNG system a precursor to gambling and a fruitmachine type gambling dependency i.e. put in money- hope get disapointed - put in money hope - get disapointed - put money in get a small award forget about how much you put in as you celebrate your small victory etc etc, and I do disagree with in-game and micro transactions, they are ruining a whole industry, I don't mind paying good money for a good product, but will never be so stupid to buy in game !!!

IDK about all that but it would be great if the sparrow horns you purchase with silver went to your sparrow kiosk. right now only the ones you find go there and if you accidentally delete a bought one its just gone.
-
2 RepliesI'm failing to see how this is gambling. Nobody is forcing you to buy silver.

Shameful self bump but I really want to see what everyone's feedback is.
