Value of the credit and credit sinks

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

Oh cool gambling hall's back.

Here's an idea for something, you know sometimes when we have a super huge queue and it takes forever to dump files? Why not make a pack that you can pay for with excess credits? An arbitrary amount, maybe based on step author's credibility. The more popular the author, the more credits for the pack or something.

I like this.

Some way to make the wait to get a file in-game without waiting a year

Silly idea: tax credit transactions. If you want to send, say, 10000, it costs you an extra 5% so you pay 10500 and the extra 500 goes nowhere. You would only get an exception if the transaction is "approved", which would basically be for giving out event/tournament prizes. Event Managers would be perma-approved and would be able to temp approve others when they send out tournament prizes and the like.

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

You know, I've had this idea too, and it plays with Leonids suggestion.

Customizing your posting space whenever you post. See, people like it when they stand out from the rest of the crowd. May it be something completely different with your name or you have a fancy little graphic thing embedded into your post (that's very subtle).

I think finding a way to add optional customization with the customization we already have might help this problem.

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

One suggestion I would make is make it so if there are any existing bets of a particular amount, and they're not other bets by the same user, that the user has to take an existing bet rather than make a new bet of their own if it's the same amount as an existing bet.

It is rather annoying to place a bet for a particular amount only to have it sit there while other people place bets for the same amount rather than taking the existing bet. This was quite a problem back when the gambling hall was run the first time.

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

Apparently millions of credits came out of nowhere in one day.

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

Tofurox exploited a bug which made him gain very large amounts of credits. He also gave away alot of these, because he said he felt guilty. Anyway, he got the ban deserved for abusing it.

I'd just like to know how progress is going on restoring the hall again, that's all. I appreciate the work being done for all of us.

FFR Shop credit transactions seems down too. It's probably related.

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

Can we please fix the gambling hall so it's not so exploitable?

I don't mind a fair gamble, but if you're losing because someone was exploiting the system to gain an unfair advantage or to make you lose, that's not fair.

I assume records are kept as to who won/lost which gambles with whom? If so, why not refund all credits from known exploiters to whoever they cheated? If people steal credits in other ways, it's refunded, so why not refund these?

People are playing with the assumption it's a 50/50, not playing for a guaranteed or high probability loss due to cheaters.

Please fix the exploitability of it and please refund credits to any accounts that were cheated. This should have been done the first time around too, back when people were exploiting the system.

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

Considering what happened, I'm pretty sure it's being worked on asap.

Re: Value of the credit and credit sinks

I doubt there is an easy way to just undo all exploited transactions but keep the legit ones.
