In my opinion, the duel arena doesn't generate gold. It just swaps hands. So why force a sink there?


I don't particularly see why that should matter

Every gambling site including RS gambling sites have a lot worse than a 1% tax

It's such a small amount, and it's getting rid of the massive spam bots / rwters that x stake all day long

1b stake loses 10m, big whoop that's literally nothing to people staking that much

This is "the house" getting their pay, except it's not going in their pockets it's literally just creating a little gold sink that can help the game out a bit also getting rid of bots and toxic people

1b stakes go on all day though that 10m gunna add up. Over 10 stakes of 1b if your going back n forth win 1 lose 1 you end up at 900m idk i dont like it. And dont see how its benefitting anybody.

It benefits jagex I guess, since it 'combats real world trading' (?)

It's gambling on a 20 year old medieval game, if you're concerned about a 1% tax then reckon can take the ole $1k+ you're throwing around on said medieval game and take to a real casino that the house isn't going to take that 1%

If the 1% loss hurts you that bad, it's because you're literally staking all day every day

Gambling online anywhere the house takes a lot more than 1% in a lot of cases..
Betting on mma fights being an example, one guy is -200 (bet $200 to win $100)
Then other guy isn't +200, he ends up being like +160 where you bet $100 to win $160..

That little $40 that's not counted in there goes directly to the house which is a helluva lot more than 1%
I feel this is a very small, and small enough penalty that it shouldn't be complained about..

But it's not like the house is getting that 1% unless jagex is taking the gold from these dumps and selling it somehow generating value. show me the casino that burns the rake on a poker table if were comparing the two lol

I get what your saying i'm just not seeing where the benefit is unless they just wanna drive item prices up and gold/plat stacks down

The house isn't technically getting the money, but it's combatting against rwters and creating a gold sink which the game can always use
They aren't doing the best jobs in fighting gold by adding things such as revs, but hey it's jagex after all..
It benefits them in the sense it's weeding out people breaking their rules of their game

The gold isn't technically money, and they can spawn it by typing up something in half a second

And by burns the rake on the poker table are you referring to real life casinos or online poker?
