If any dev / mod has time to check @scammeralert

[lunar junco]

The world has ways scams that scammers use (tells how they do it), how to avoid these scams and some involve suggestions to devs on how these scams can be removed

I want to know if anything needs to be changed on the world?

I also talked about why P2P is considered gambling and as gambling is against the game's rules. If gambling is illegal (it is), P2P should be illegal (it isn't yet)

Also attaching this thread: https://discord.com/channels/399918427256520705/1490473371933081835

(tldr: start is mostly about a world where scammers could be exposed publicly by users (apparently illegal) and at the end about informing about scams)

because there is a loophole, all games in p2p are skillbased, so people bet on themselve and depends on skills. but if it includes luck then it is gambling.
this was decided by jake himself

[lunar junco]

Firstly, Jake can't possibly decide the definition of gambling

Secondly, Jake isn't here

Lastly, Betting is a form of gambling

Also P2P isn't fully skill based (talked about this @scammeralert too)

[muted schooner]

Same with Nexus, same company's game. Idk what's all the fuss with p2p in pw, people just jealous people can profit with it quicker that others.

[lunar junco]

There could potentially be 0 skill used and you can still win 100% of your games (talked about @scammeralert too)

[vestal nova]

gambling is gambling btw, it was originally illegal but players like you who defend it pressured them. I was there in the talks back then, many people were just mad af since they want to play the game with the aspect of their addiction within the game

[forest haven]

@lunar junco jake could, he was dev of the game.
also there was huge resistent in old pw, world was made to fill in signs to resist p2p( which i also signed to ban p2p altogether) , ultimately it was decided that , luck based gambling was indeed still banned. only skill based games are allowed.
@vestal nova when did i say that support p2p, please provide me the the text where i said i support p2p

[chilly plover]

P2P is, to my knowledge, still legal unless said otherwise, so just don’t be misleading if you are explaining it as illegal

[vestal nova]

yeah gambling is illegal, but somehow p2p is legal (is what @lunar junco's trying to point out tho?)

@forest haven even if it's skill based, it is still gambling (you did point out that only if by luck is it's gambling)

[lunar junco]

I have said many of the P2Ps problems @scammeralert, also I explained how it hurts PWs profits

[forest haven]

"but players like you who defend it pressured them" , you didn't answer this from my prev reply. Where did i support it.
I pointed out why it was legal in the game. Simple as that

[vestal nova]

all games in p2p are skillbased, but if it includes luck then it is gambling = where I got the idea that you're defending p2p as a legal aspect of the game

i know you're trying to inform too but it does look like you're defending it also, but if you aren't then thank you.

[forest haven]

yeah Nowhere it did even look like defence of p2p even with that message. that was information.

[lunar junco]

.

[lunar junco]

Delete this message, if you want to report a scammer go to #❗game-support

[forest haven]

use online tool like pw gem calculator from now on, although ypu have to put how many fishes and what size manually but its better than being scammed

[peak rune]

Alright great advice, Ill be cautious from now on. I'm no longer in the mood to report it, but instead take this as a lesson, thank you everyone!

[devout geyser]

Idc what other people says, but for me P2P is gambling as long as you're putting your bytes on the line

[lunar junco]

It 100% is and I talked about how P2P also hurts Pixel Worlds profits (so if they care about making more profit, they should either read @scammeralert or close P2P for good)

[devout geyser]

True, it makes the player lazy in result there will be no one grinding much for items or farming blocks to earn coz instead they go to the easiest way of earning, it hurts the economy of the game.

And also where can I read the @scammeralert?

[lunar junco]

It's in the world @scammeralert

P2P takes gacha space away from PWs "official" ones, meaning they get less PWE profits (more bytes in economy = more inflation), rage gambling on TTT and losing = player quits
Etc etc, I wrote like 20-30 signs about why it should be removed (and could do more)

[vernal valley]

Up

Ban all sorts of betting even is skill based. Betting is betting. We have so many children in this game who doesnt know what truly p2p is. But they playin it and then frustated after losing

[lunar junco]

Apparently the only reason P2P is legal is bcus of Jake, but Jake isn't here anymore

[vernal valley]

Yeah that was 4 years ago

[lunar junco]

The definition of gambling literally involves skill too and I explained how TTT isn't fully skill

[vernal valley]

lol FR
