Yet this proposal does not include loot boxes.
part of the reason they did away with gambling was the EU released regs against games that âadvertise gambling to childrenâ as a side bonus they got to blame it on RMT

Perhaps changing the rating for the game could help. That way ccp can say its advertised for adults and not children.

It probably would, but at the sametime restricts their playerbase.
Well the vast majority of kids play M-rated games without difficulty, CCP just needs to have a âare you 18â disclaimer and checker (which everyone ignores), to evade any legal issues. The playerbase will not be restricted.
Just because you play games above your age limit doesnât mean everyone does.
Higher age rated games seem to have fewer players.
Can you give me some examples? Many classic games across age differences tend to not have much difference in players based on rating, Call of Duty is claimed by everyone to have immature kids playing, how is that possible with an M-rating?
EVE Online has many players entering the game, the only issue is them staying. But getting them in the door is not a problem, and adding good heat sinks wonât reduce people entering the game. In fact, if some overzealous moral judge or country makes a scandal, everyone is going to want to play the game more.
I donât. I just remember reading an article on comparing age ratings between films and games and a survey on parents.
The jist being that age ratings were considered less for games than film. But there was still evidence to suggest that higher age rated games limited sales when compared to similar games that were given lower age ratings. And this was echoed in the survey half of parents would not let their kids see a film with an adult rating, vs 14% of parents would not let their kids play an adult rated game. But itâs still 14%.
No link though.
I asked for a link only to see if you had a study, since we both donât have one saying each side is better I will go with what is financially the best. Many parents let their kids play whatever they want, the few parents who police the kids gameplay are too insignificant to have to worry about, and tend to be parents that likely wouldnât let their kids play either due to religious belief or strict upbringing.
EVE is a game where you are an immortal pilot that is wired into a capsule through the spine and brain, and has a very dark lore supporting the game. Those under 18 who play are rare, and the few who do most likely have parents who could care less about their gameplay, and can easily fund their subscription and NES purchases through Steam or prepaid cards.
Therefore, saying that a good isk sink that many paying adult players enjoy, (an EVE casino that rewards isk and standings, perhaps even LP for a special casino LP store) should be banned in order to satisfy a very insignificant portion of the population, who more than likely will never play, is foolish.

Pretty much this, especially when people complain about little Johnny using dadâs credit card to rack up $750 in what look pretty much like gambling debts.
SoâŚjust no.

Thank you CCP for listening if you did! This is a perfect feature that couldnât be closer to what I proposed on this thread.

CCP will let this initial phase sit for a bit and let people get used t it. Just among players itâs not a problem.
But then they will start offering special exclusive gear, clothing, skins and maybe modules that can only be bid on with PLEXâŚIf PLEXâs prices go up, and they will, the logical alternative will to be to use $ to buy PLEX to gamble withâŚ
Look for this in July 2020âŚalso, start hording PLEXâŚ
The general response from players speaks volumes.

The same response that the bitter veterans always have for things that improve the game, rabid hatred.

You have a funny definition of improve.
Your other threads are just as bad mate.

Both statements are your opinion, of which you have the right to have. However it is hard to argue that every year this game gets better and better, and yet every single time CCP or the players tries to improve the game, the veterans oppose it fervently and totally.
Thankfully progress continues.

Iâd love to know what youâre referring to.
From what Iâve seen, the veteran players have been guiding ccp away from bad decisions, and when the devs donât listen itâs followed with a rude awakening.
Rorquals. The npe. Resources wars. Citadel mechanics. Capitals. The balance between risk/reward and the economy.
So honestly mate, aside from money grubbing ideas like hypernet (which i expect to be deemed socially irresponsible in several countries soon-ish), what ground breaking ideas are you talking about?

Wardec changes, anything that improve highsec etc are my main arguments. Veterans have a bias towards the status quo, because it benefits them since theyâve been around longer. This is why they attacked changes to wardecs, since they either lived outside of highsec or benefited from attacking weaker corporations, and why they continuously attack highsec, the main center of the game.

That I personally argue? Other than this thread, I have the capitals in highsec thread, and eventually Iâll make threads arguing for an expanded and improved PVE experience in highsec, better and more plentiful missions, more anomalies that you must scan down, differing abilities to invest revenue such as attackable structures etc.
Was supported by csm (so your theory doesnât work here).
There was a drop in player activity and trigs have been brought in to fight afk mining since.
Well done! 
Going well is it?
