#Pay-to-play (P2P) should be banned.

Pixel Worlds itself banned gambling like drop games and casinos, so how is P2P worlds not bannable? It’s still gambling. “Oh, but it’s skill-based” gambling means wagering something of value, like stakes; you can Google it or check the dictionary. P2P is just a lazy way to profit, and it will mess up the economy. People will come just to gamble or host their way to profit, and it can also lead to a lot of tricks and scams in the PW economy. I believe the PW developers should take action against gambling.

I’ve personally hosted P2P before, and honestly it was way too easy, but it still felt wrong, so I just gave my stuff away. P2P shouldn’t exist in the first place and should be removed from the community entirely. People should actually grind in smart ways instead of just watching and profiting their way up.

We need to stop calling this “not gambling, it’s all skill” because that’s just lying to ourselves. It is gambling, you’re risking items for profit. Let’s be real: most people doing this just want an easy way to profit instead of actually working for it.

This also creates bigger problems. It can lead to scams, it messes up the economy, and it encourages people to rely on gambling instead of playing the game properly. On top of that, if PW gets accused of allowing minors to gamble or become addicted, that’s a serious issue. Even if it were “18+ only,” minors would still find ways around it.

P2P does more harm than good for both the community and the economy, and it’s something the developers should seriously take action on.

Hey! I'll get back to you in a bit, hold tight.

Pixel Worlds has clear rules against gambling, including games of chance like "drop games" and casinos, which are not permitted. However, the articles do not specifically mention Pay-to-Play (P2P) worlds or classify them as gambling. The rules emphasize fair play and prohibit cheating, exploiting bugs, and using third-party tools. If P2P worlds involve elements of chance and wagering items, they could potentially fall under the existing rules against gambling. Concerns about P2P worlds affecting the economy and leading to scams are valid, but there is no specific mention of P2P worlds being banned in the provided information. It might be beneficial for the developers to consider these concerns and clarify their stance on P2P worlds in relation to their gambling policies.

It really is

But yea I brought this point up and they proudly own the fact that they exploit kids. Not to mention victim blaming. One guy said they're "exploiting themselves"

as long as boosters exist i don't see why p2p or any other gambling games that are hosted by players should be banned

P2P is a great way to bet all and quit the game completely or continue to P2P until you lose everything, the house always wins or smh like that

I've never seen P2P worlds so I don't know how bad these gets but PW offer one themselves : jetrace.

If no one tops up, the number of bytecoins is getting smaller, then what do you use to buy and sell? Of course, for f2p, you will have difficulty getting bytecoins.

i know and i disagree with these rules i do not believe allowing some part of gabmling and stopping the other one makes sense to me at all because you still have stakes in this and the system is broken if u think about it you can clearly have somany scams happening and lets say there werent scams it still will destroy the game economy by time and ur gonna see level 1 new players with millions of bc and others quitting (yes it is their fault) but we have to care about the pw economy because thats what keeps the game running for a long time too
