Report the Dicers #OccupyGrandExchange

What RuneScape IS:
An MMORPG

What RuneScape IS NOT:
A casino

This is not a difficult concept.

inb4 famous dicing hosts claim that they were "hacked". You're all faggots, you always were faggots, and you always will be faggots. Good day, sir.

Also mad

What you second guessed yourself. My god in the old days you had an opinion and fuck everyone else was how it was. lol

"inflating prices" *looks at the price of a whip* :O

[Sladedawg]

@dzihouchan So....you were a dicer I'm guessing?

[Phobzi]

I agree with you within everything aside from the use of the word "unfairly". I don't think that would be the best word unless the group is claiming to have even odds, by trading one of the hosts you agree to the terms and accept that you are at a disadvantage.

[dzihouchan]

I do apologize if this response is too elaborate to effectively respond to - but I felt I needed to explain why 'dice hosting' is not as immoral as it may seem. I appreciate your patience if you've actually fully read my response. I shall leave it there.

[dzihouchan]

I would need you to elaborate more on your point in regards to the economic implications – specifically its effects on prices – as I don’t understand how it may be detrimental to the economy.

I can understand the moral qualms with the affiliated illicit activities such as real world trading, which were undoubtedly morally impermissible, but to reiterate – it’s not the fault of dicing in itself. I only wish people could realise this.

[dzihouchan]

A viable argument from your position may be the fact that there could be information asymmetry – which I don’t disagree with. This issue however, is nor the fault of dicers or hosts – but rather, an issue with the free market. This problem could be rectified if JaGex decided to intervene by providing information to their users – however, this does come with its own setbacks such as indirectly promoting trust games, which JaGex are likely to be unwilling to do.

[dzihouchan]

It may only be considered scamming if the dice host misleads the player – but this occurs rather infrequently. To elaborate further, the odds are not that poor against a player, it’s merely 9:11 for 55x2 chats.

Of course, you may argue that it’s exploitation of player greed – but if they’ve acknowledged the risks of the potential psychologically addictive effects of gambling, then is it really exploitation?

[dzihouchan]

Moreover, there seems to be a flawed depiction that dicing, or any other form of non player-influenced gambling is the equivalent to ‘scamming’ – scamming, or fraudulent behaviour by definition entails deception for personal gain – but if the activity in itself is consensual (whereby the dicers are fully aware that odds are against them, but are still willing to subject their money given the risks) – then who’s getting scammed?
