Should they make a in game lottery? (non player controlled)

Do you think blizz should make a in game lottery, for fun? Make it cross server to make the jackpot big? Maybe tickets cost 100g. Say 100,000 people play, jackpot could be 10,000,000 gold. Well, 9,999,999 since thats the cap, but still.

Its totally something the Goblins would do.

Nope, because then the game’s rating would need to go up.

While its possible to buy gold with real money? This is bad and you should feel bad.

I’m well aware. I wont disclose my secret method, but I do have a mathematical formula that increases my chances by over 10X. Granted, the odds are still astronomical, but I feel its not as much of a waste since my chances are way better than the average person praying to RNGesus to win.

funny how alcohol, smoking, drugs (Bloodthistle) and sex themes can be shown and still get a T for Teen rating, but gambling automatically gets you M for mature.

You do know this isn’t World of Gamblingcraft. It is bad enough we had a form of lottery with RNG on Corruption in 8.3 and WF/TF for past couple of xpacs.

Who would it hurt? I suppose people with gambling addictions. But, wow has people with wow addictions, the world cant stop over people with addictions.

A single lottery wouldn’t make it “world of gambling craft”.

I think it’d be fun, guilds do it sometimes

These aren’t actually happening for real but an in-game Blizzard controlled lottery type thing is actual gambling and that is an adult activity. So, yes Blizzard sponsored gambling would require an M rating for the game.

The gambling isn’t happening for real either. Its fictional gold. Its not real gold.

OMG,no.That would be gambling.

It’s still actual gambling whether the money is real or in game currency. And one could argue that thanks to the token someone could lose real money in this lottery.

You mean like Cataclysm lottery tickets? I loved that, getting 5000g ticket was awesome, every time.

While I wont dispute this part, if they got rid of the token, how could it still be real gambling? Its no more real gambling than your character drinking alcohol in game is real alcoholism.

Principle and practice ,it is gambling wether it is gold or token.

You have a problem with gambling but not drugs in game?

Games aren’t allowed to have that stuff even with fake money. Ever wonder why new pokemon games don’t do the lottery like in the old games? That’s why. No fun allowed.
