[Rejected] Improving the credit system

[Black Shinobi]

I feel like the SG points system is lacking something, the point system is very bland and straightforward: you get credits and buy random shit in the store. In my opinion this is kinda problematic because you sell credits for real money, but refuse to make a economy for credits, for example trading items, trading credits, gambling etc. In my opinion if you add credit trading or some sort of trading system for items you could make a bigger appeal to play on SG because you could gain skins for trading your items to new SG members. Also you could add rare items (only available from cases) in cases or a crate system. You could create cases for auroras, skins, etc. make them like 1000 credits each with these percentages (skin case for ex):

Case exclusives- 1%

Sub skin- 9%

SG ADDICT- 10%

BALKAN ADDICT- 10%

Free spin- 30%

Nothing xd- 60%

 

Another thing that I believe should be added is some sort of gambling, for example a coinflip, roulette or another game (like from gmod). Maybe like an !gamble or !games.

 

I don't know if all these things are possible with the lack of mod support in csgo, but it would be be kewl to see things

The problem is that you can pay for credits, meaning that if this was to be implemented, SG could very possibly get in trouble for allowing "gambling". I believe this has been discussed before.

Then how have other servers gotten away with it?

[Mr.Trololo]

Just because other servers have "gotten away with it" doesn't make it any less of a gray area. The facts are that you can donate money for store credits in SG, and being able to gamble those credits opens up an enormous can of worms. In the end, this isn't my decision, but it's just not worth it.

I definitely agree with Trololo here. Just because other servers have gotten away with the whole gambling thing doesn't make it any safer to do so.

If this community was 18+, and ONLY that, this might be a more doable idea. But, because Steam-Gamers has so many minors, and especially a lot of people in the servers in the 13-15 age range, I think SG could probably get into a bad legal situation if this was implemented.

i mean im not talking about certain credits, just the ones you get from playing every minute thats what I meant

Ya the ones you get every minute can also be purchased. This is a good idea, but the gambling part is just too much of a risk. The trading of items in the store isn't too bad maybe this could be implemented.

I also didn't really mean to be a super serious gamble, for example you and 1 other person can !coinflip for like a few token for fun, idk just something new I guess?
