That's the biggest reason why I don't stake. Because if I lose, I lose hours of time. If I win, I get money that I didn't deserve which ruins the fun of the game. If you look at gp with a real world value, this ceases to become a game, it becomes a really shitty, low paying job at best. Unless you're good at writing code. Even so, it's scummy.

What’s interesting about the duel arena in RS is that it can literally feed real life addictions because of how easy it is to buy and sell gold. When I was about 16, I had my mom’s credit card number memorized and I had a very good range boxing account. There was a day I got cleaned for somewhere around 200 mil (this was 15 years ago). When I got cleaned, I bought like $150 worth of RS gold and got cleaned again, then about $100 more and got cleaned again. I got my ass whooped and my parents both had a legit sit down with me and explained what a gambling addiction was and told me I couldn’t play the game anymore because it was unhealthy for me. In hindsight, that conversation and the repercussions (grounding, barred from the game, and paying them back a few hundred bucks) had a lasting impact on me. Just thought I’d share because, crazy stuff!

Honestly, the real problem is the staking. I'd love to see a duel arena where staking is impossible. Being able to have organized 1v1 fights, with custom rules and restrictions. Edit: Hell, you can keep staking for small stakes, capped at 1m maybe. That way, players can still stake meaningful amounts of gp, but you'd have to stake 24/7, and lose every stake, in order to lose this amount of money. Losing 1b should happen over the course of months, not seconds.

I see both sides, but what percentage of the playerbase is actually addicted to the duel arena? 2%-5%? What percentage of the playerbase plays 8+ hours a day? 15%-20%? What percentage of the playerbase is so addicted to the game that they play 8+ hours a day and they refuse to get a job/got fired so they can continue their addiction by playing runescape all day and not even making any money by RWT? Should jagex enforce a rule, to where youre only allowed to play 6 hours max a day on your account? that would be ridiculous. I was at the gas station today when i saw a guy looking in rough shape, he bought 20 dollars worth of scratch offs and scratched them off right there at the counter. Sure it was wrong of me to judge him, but i would bet he spends all his free cash on scratch offs. I didnt see any government officials try and stop him from spending good money on a 1 in a million chance. I get the video, jagex says 'the players are in control', but they refuse to poll the duel arena option. Even if they did poll it, i dont think removing the duel arena would pass the poll. Majority of us are not addicts and i try the duel arena the same as a real life casino. I go there with a maximum amount 10m in the game and irl $100 at a real casino, if i lose i lose and i had a fun 2-3 hours. Players need to seek help if they feel they have a problem.

Statistically speaking, expected values are almost always manipulated to be negative. You should only gamble when expected value is positive, and this only happens when a host has made an oversight. Ever notice that dice games give you a 45% chance of winning? The expected value is -0.1 gp per gp wagered. If you play infinitely many times, it is the statistical equivalent of a 10% tax on every bet. How many times would you be willing to exchange 1m for 900k? If never, then you probably shouldn’t be gambling. Even worse, every dice bot script is 100% confirmed to be rigged.

The Duel Arena is isolated. If you never teleported there, and ran all the way to it you would never knew it existed and it would never effect your game play.

Gold sink how? Buy bonds with cash>sell bonds on ge for gold (that comes from another player)>stake gold at duel arena>gold either stays with you (win) or goes to another player (lose). Its just massive amounts of gold going from player to player. The gold comes from in-game and stays in-game. It does, however, motivate gold farmers (alot of which use bots) to do their thing which introduces more items into the game which is causing the prices of most high end items to plummet. All so they can turn around and sell that gold to the next addict that needs a re-up.

Staking at the duel arena as a kid led to 10+ years of irl gambling addiction that I only beat 2 years ago

I personally fall under the category that Manked explained, I spent 300~ hours making 600m, went to the duel arena for fun and made 200m in an hour or so.. ever since that day I probably lost about $4,000~ USD in gold never played the game the way it was meant to be played and that spiraled me into an irl gambling addiction where I'm down around $30,000 USD, The duel arena is where I first got introduced to gambling 5 odd years ago, and now I'm currently trying to battle this gambling addiction with no avail..

Literally EVERYBODY would back this up besides the concurring stakers. I was addicted myself for awhile but I completely quit the game and don’t plan on coming back, no duel arena or not. The economy is dying, duel arena still flourishing and flowing millions of REAL dollars and only a main focus to iron men nothing for PvP. My advice quit the game and start grinding irl, even if you’re well off, better yourself more by ridding yourself of this toxicity. The game I once loved as a child and teenager, now nothing but a nuisance and deep regrets. Good luck people.

I have almost never used to duel arena and it doesn't need to be taken out. We don't need to shutdown all casinos in America because there are gambling addicts either. Its up to the individual and the people around them to guide and protect them from themselves. It's time people started taking some responsibility for their actions, and realize they have consequences. Nobody has ever been forced into gambling runescape gold, and it's not like it turns into real cash anyways. I will always be voting no to the removal of the arena, good luck

I mean everyone knows Jagex doesn't ban accounts that are paying for membership. They only ban free-to-play accounts that don't pay for membership. Once upon a time, my friend botted the guards in the desert beside the bank on an account that wasn't on membership and he ended up getting Ban pretty quick for offensive language which is weird. He then botted the same guards on a membership account to 99 in multiple combat skills but didn't get banned at all. But on the non-member account, he got ban really quick.

The guy at 16:08 really nailed what went wrong with another MMO I used to play: Puzzle Pirates. Fun game where you play puzzles to power and fix your ship and you all work as a team to sail your pirate ship, defeat other crews of players, and even go to war. They introduced poker as one of the piratey activities you could do and it diminished everything else in the game as a result. It wasn't worth going out with yer mateys for 20,000 pieces of eight for an hour long pillaging adventure when you could make that much in one hand of poker. The game still lives, just barely, and so does poker on the game, because of course you can pay real money for in-game coins. They hooked enough whales that it was worth it to the developers to let the whole spirit of the game die.

Manked was right on the head with what he said. When i first got into OSRS all i did was quest and slayer and i loved every second of it, once i hit 99 slayer (had around 340m bank) and i wanted to work on getting those buyables out the way so i tried the duel arena, walked way with 2b-3b that night with some friends and just stood at the bank, i never wanted to play the game and just went back to the arena, got cleaned and bought gold and started the cycle over again. I currently put rs down for about 7 months after the last incident. Getting money that quick isn't good, you don't learn anything that way and a lot of people think when you have that much the game becomes enjoyable because you can do every boss, its just not fun any more. Seeing those big drops (before the eco crash) like dragon hunter crossbows just feel like drops in the bucket or you have this urge to stake your split to make double.

That mentality of “you’ll never be able to enjoy RuneScape again regularly” is fucking TRUE. Rs3 player here, but hear me out.. I’ll admit it. I started buying gold here and there to help me progress, since I had a limited time to play. That quickly snowballed, and I would constantly sell gear to progress skills, because I knew I could just spend like $25 USD to buy it all back in a snap. A full endgame melee setup is legitimately less than $100 USD, and that’s for the gear that should be infinitely difficult to properly obtain without already being a top tier player, whether that be gold farming through bossing or ironman-style pvm to get the individual items. Cut the time needed to achieve anything down from 2 weeks to 2 minutes. Literally the only thing separating this from being exactly like the duel arena is, with the duel arena, the flip-side of already losing your fun and passion for the game, is to lose everything and have to spend MORE real life money just to break even. A cesspool. A swamp. Drain it.
