And with the new "Gachveyors" some creators might only put certain items in it only instead of a vendor.

Probably because they want a cash cow. I was in a shopping group yesterday and they were talking about the conveyors and gachas and a few of us commented on how the new gacha conveyor is also gambling. One of the creators go mad and ejected me and a few others from the group accusing us of slandering the new device. So obviously looks like some creators will only put stuff and outfits in that dumb thing instead of a vendor.

A little update --- the person came in to service our Lotto machine and VLTs and I showed him the print out and explained SL to him too. He has seen that type of mechanism before and is considered a gambling device since the next items up is random and maybe cause a player to keep feeding it to get the item they want. He said it's also possible the programming could make certain numbers on it could appear seldomly. The guy is from Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (aka SLGA). Linden staff might want to bring that to the legal team and shouldn't be approved.

A friend with weed is a friend indeed!!

Like our RL bar. We can limit or stop serving to someone who is obviously intoxicated. We also have signs up with phone #s for alcohol addiction. About 20% don't get any booze as they come to listen to the music we feature there --- either live performers or the DJs and/or play the VLTs (Video Lottery Terminals) in the back licenced by the province.

I printed out the post that featured that device and going to show it to the person who services the Lotto machine in our bar. He had to take specialized training regarding gambling rules and such and see if he has opinions on the conveyor.

Oops, I meant to add something else related to the post --- but had a brainfart.

That machine is still gambling as the numbers coming up could be random. Like the gachas it needs to be banned too. I can see that thing milking players.

Hopefully Linden Lab will nip that one in the bud.

The creators of those need to simply go by the tried and true vendors and give up on those shenanigans.

Hopefully that will get 86ed with the gachas. Still a form of gambling.

Be time for the Arcade to change to something else or close up.

I didn't go back to read those. But good idea.

Probably by Patch who was trying to decipher the comments (or send them to the legal team for answers) without the thread growing 10 pages in the background.

I was in world yesterday and one of the MM groups was chatting about the ban. Many said they were glad the gachas getting 86ed and one of the creators got mad and called them names. No explaining how the Lab has to follow regulations and was forced to enact the ban. Found out the the person was a creator who was very upset and on his machines, he only made 1 rare of his products.

Gachas got the boot. Let's move on.

Waiting for someone in world to make an exploding gatcha machine. You shoot at it --- Boom! Ofc the exploding machine would just be a non-operational replica.

I have it on a test machine and fired up SL and another game. SL worked but the other game wouldn't since it's "Game Guard" hack prevention system hasn't be updated for 11. Due to the limitations I'll stick with 8.1 and 10 for now.

I don't thing she was thinking outside the box. Someone in the group mentioned that her cheapest gatcha was $350. Most other shops were like $L5 and up. She was in it for the $$.

I just saw a notice in a group in world saying they were closing shop due to gatcha's getting the heave ho and some in the group said just put up vendors and such. She said heck no and this is it for me in SL.

Time to nip the conveyors in the bud.

My answer wasn't disrespectful. The ban comes down to a few creators (not all) using those things to take advantage of customers human nature to gamble trying to get the one item they want instead of a normal vendor.

Wish they gave a shorter time to eradicate them --- like 7 days and then nuke 'em.

I dislike the shared experience thing.

I wonder if some posting here saying they want the gatchas to stay are those who make them? Hmmm....
