An Idea for Patch 7.1

Patch 7.1 : Facebook Integration

[The One Percent]

This is probably meant an unique side occupation such as the Brawler's Guild, which was added with 5.1 and not involved in the MOP lore either.

I like the idea as I also enjoyed the Gold Saucer in FFXIV.

I wish Darkmoon Faire was around all month long and they expanded on it more with ferris wheels, roller coasters, more minigames, ect.

God... it's a fucking video game...

By that, Blizz should ban every player who plays casino in Trade District "/roll 1-30 for x1, 31-60 for 2x, 90-99 x3 gold"

They did. Back in wrath.

And games that make killing more than "push some buttons and someone ceases to be standing there" get a higher rating. Game that straight-up have you do complicated actions, such as putting a plastic bag around someone's head, in order to cause a more realistic death get taken out of retail before they even sale.

And that's why PEGI / ESRB exist. What was the last game that people labeled so "violent"? Hatred? I can buy it on Steam to this very day.

Not every fucking idiot should buy a game if they can't make a difference between real-life and in-game actions.

They actually can do that if you report them. I've seen that happen.

[Alvito]

Yeah, and I bet killing is also illegal in many countries and yet every single quest in the game is about to kill XYZ.

You aren't actually killing anything though, you are gambling. Even a child can see the differences.

They already do. It's against TOS to run in-game casinos. Not because of any country or culture, but because they don't want players crying to the GMs and flooding them with tickets when they lose in a player-run casino.

Just an aside and FYI: Brawler's Guild was recently reported on wowhead to be going on hiatus for Legion. Source

Which will be fine if that means that the reopened Brawler's Guild will contain new bosses and new rewards.

Gambling with in-game gold. Fucking currency. Nothing value is lost.

But let's put it this way:

7.1 hits, Kezan is open for business, there's a guy with the following quest:

All hail, mighty adventurer,

Fortune is shining upon you. For a small registration fee I can tell you what your future holds.

<NPC asks you for 500 gold>

<A random stack of buff-stat scrolls (stats bonus value will range from 0 to 500) will be in your inventory upon completion>

Another quest:

Hey you! Yes, YOU!
I heard about your heroic deeds on the Broken Isles and I'd like to thank you for saving the world from the Legion.
I have a sale nearby, there's some big, dusty crates from my armory. I give you a discount, however you can still pay the full price if you wish so.

<NPC asks you for 500/1000/1500 gold>
<A random crate (can contain either nothing or a Normal-Mythic quality item) will be in your inventory upon completion>

So, it's technically gambling. You pay but you don't know whether you'll win anything or not.
Would you gamble (do quests) in this area now? Of course you would. It's all matter of context.

I doesn't have to be gambling you know.. there are all sorts of minigames.

OP
The mini 1v1 is realy cool. A place were duel fans can hang out!

[Aeluron Lightsong]

The OP's idea is kinda cool but I think Blizzard wouldn't do it mostly due to the gambling issue. It just wouldn't work due to how other countries view gambling. It's not really Blizzard's fault, they just know the rules/laws about other nations.

Sadly as you can see in this thread that concept is completely lost on some people. More of what people wanting something completely over shadowing their ability to see things from a different point of view or understand why people don't agree. Then again people don't seem to understand what gambling is or isn't so many are missing the point entirely.

And isn't gambling in-game illegal in US? Like how pokemon removed the entire casino thing because US

[Bohannon]

Could just try to cover up the gambling by using the "it's skill based" argument that's working for fantasy sports gambling sites.

The removal of gambling in the US release of Pokemon had nothing to do with the US or Japan (it is also not in japanese releases) ... it is that they don't want to program for multiple regions.

And no, Gambling in US games isn't illegal. It happens even now.

You obviously have no idea what gambling does to people. It isn't just a fucking video game. Get educated.

Get educated? LOL. I uphold the fact that you have no clue about how educated I am.

If people are stupid enough to put all of their hard earned cash on a random number in a casino, well, they deserve to lose every single penny of it. I went to a casino once. One fucking time. I put aside for this "occasion" $100 because I was like fuck that I wanna play. Nothing more. $100 bucks. Of course I lost it all. But I wasn't that stupid to buy more tokens. I said enough is enough.

And yes. It's a fucking video game. If you happen to lose all your gold, who cares? It's not $$.

Or are you talking from personal experiences?

[snackfeat]

I don't think the game needs any more stupid mini games at this point, we need proper content.

[Destinas]

The way to get around the gambling issue is to make it like the Darkmoon Faire, but with different minigames and unique rewards. You do dailies, quests, and other activities to get a specific currency type to only spend on the vendors there. That way, it's less "adult gambling" and more "Chuck-E-Cheese's" - which we all know is just child gambling that people see as less-than-threatening.

There could definitely be room for different activities in the Undermine and minigames they couldn't currently have at the Darkmoon Faire. Bumper Cars, where you have to knock out (or, as Goblins would have it, explode) several other NPCs in bumper cars. There could even be a footbomb minigame inside a footbomb field. They could even have minigames gated behind what your class is, or what your professions are. Archaeology could have a scavenger hunt that could have random items and random locations every time. Hunters could have an actual moving shooting gallery, using the in-game engineering/goblin/lovely dummies. Engineering could have a building minigame, where you have to put parts together in a certain time limit. Tailoring could have a magic carpet ride race.

The way to make it less like the Darkmoon Faire is to have it open all the time, and add tons of things to collect so the content isn't eaten up too quickly. Such rewards could be mounts, pets, toys, transmog, music sheets (if they ever use a jukebox again), special recipes/patterns/plans for fun items to craft, etc. Of course, they could have a special pet tournament there, as well.

I'd love to see something like this implemented, because we rarely see the ridiculous side of Goblin society. Gallywix supposedly has a zepplin with a pudding slide, yet it's only mentioned in a short story. However, I would imagine they'd save that for when the world isn't in more immediate danger. They've been focusing on the fact that the Legion has been destroying everything in Azeroth for this expansion. I doubt Blizz would want to lighten things up after just the first patch. But maybe one day.

***Alright so i just have a quick suggestion that has been asked of before by many people, i'm just going to refloat that boat.

Isle of Kezan
So bit of fun content they could add as a bit of a bonus for 7.1 could be Isle of Kezan rebuilt for all of you're gambling needs, im talking darkmoon faire on steroids BUT WITH GOLD all kinds of fun minigames achievements mounts, pets, toys you name it just fun stuff. Lets face it guys we have way to much gold now a days cause of Warlords of Garrisons we need a good gold sink.

But that's not it!, Trade Prince Gallywix has had fuck all to do with anything in-game since cata so in the mean time he's been building a gambling party ship where PvPers may jump on in a gladiator pit in the middle of the ship and Duel 1v1 in front of specating players! But that's not all you can BET on dueling players in the arena!!, They could add dueling brackets so it is similar to the brawlers guild system where there are ranks so on say rank 10s and go against rank 10s or something along those lines.

Now for the PVE side of the content,

Vault of Kezan
The goblins didn't have alot of time to "evacuate" their loot from the great vault of kezan, and now there are new owners who have taken over the vault with an evil purpose. (This raid could be similar to the Vault of Archavon/Tol'barad Prison or be a full raid let you guys decide that one)

And even more of a bonus maybe a fun new 5 man Dungeon too

Sounds boring af
