I agree it isn't hard to get an extreme surplus profit from an already existing wealth, what I'm arguing is the means by which you obtained that wealth in the first place. You may not be out of pocket but that doesn't mean that you (and by 'you' I am pointing at all the big casino owners, not just you in particular here) didn't buy it illegally to begin with. Very very very few people accrue their habbo wealth today by legitimate means.Quote:

Super rares were only ever used to display wealth in casinos and as such will drop dramatically in price, don't you think?
Aside from counting the coins in your purse, what is the purpose of habbo for you? What was it in the past? What drew you into gambling?
really good questions but you'd be surprised how many fansite people and mafia people buy credits in the blackmarket, alot more then casinoers. So now we can't earn as much it's a lower supply so makes it better for people in the long run if your a blackmarketer.Quote:

Staff said they felt sorry for me and said i'm incredibly talented for what i managed to do ... got the emails and screenies to proove but hey ho don't matter now right?
In the past it was games but they were like snowstorm wobble squabble .. you name it, then i came across gambling was so fun being with friends making furniture easy and i dunno was cool being in these rich rooms and being known yano? then it kinda hooked me in for 8 years, so now i can understand the good part that it stops me being addicted to it just a shame that it took so long yano?
RPers and fansite owners are still a rather large portion of the market - yes - but I hope that with the release of further bundles that allow access to wide ranges of furniture that habbos will be a little more creative with what is immediately available to them rather than striving to be the biggest and the best. But hey, there's always going to people like that, so I guess the demand for blackmarket gold will remain. Bundles are 1 measure, perhaps habbo can introduce more measures to lessen it a little.Quote:

If you can think of a concept for a game, there's sure as hell a way to make it work. A fellow forum member actually recreated the Rooftop Rumble and incorporated a fully functioning wabble squabble game into it just recently:
The possibilities really are endless! Habbo is shifting from reliance on a team of staff to provide entertainment, towards allowing its users to have a huge creative input and redefine the game however they so wish.
Now that gambling is gone what use do you think your furniture has? Will you keep it all? Will you find a different way to make use of it? Will you donate some of it to help some fansites in their own pursuits? :P
1. if you needed habbo to ban dice to get a life, chances are you still wont have a life.Quote:

3. many, many people did not use casinos - dont over estimate their worth or impact on habbo.
4. casino noobs will no doubt find a new home

okay well kyle i can see where your coming from upon that when i saw that room looked like a retro tbh, but yaa i do agree that the opportunities are limitless like that wired piano, or guitar hero its pretty cool but i dunno i do feel they've taken away alot of people's homes and not provided a replacement as of yet.Quote:

Like who knows an alternative might ome up and with the fansite question yerr i will but that's why i'm at habbcrazy now haha ;) atleast i can do soming on habbcrazy now
erm i don't know how you can come to that assumption that because i was milking the opportunity of arcades and dice that i had no reason, i still had a life regardless of the sino or not i just left my account on 24/7. Now i'll just even have more of a life. Moreover i havn't contradicted myself because i don't care, but i can't help that i'm still the richest and that everyone will still envy me to an extent so don't understand that lol and then thirdly, just because a bunch of people didn't use casinos, but a good amount did of us, check my dealership groups i've got over 2k+ dealers doesn't mean they automatically ruled out. Because habbo did a research and collaboration group consisting of the most popular room owners on habbo, and 3 of the 12 members were casino owners, so enough said on that point.Quote:

Not hard to make up a rumor or accusation is it now :rolleyes:
im afraid you did contradict yourself, whether you choose to accept that is up to you. do you really think people envy you? truly, they dont. i do not see how 3 casino rooms being in that group proves anything; none of the rooms in that group are popular - just active - there's a big difference.Quote:

Over two thousand dealers? Or the same 400 people (including duplicate accounts) in all of the dealer groups.
And the only reason, as you should know, that those rooms were constantly popular, is solely because of LMS. Maybe not always YOUR room, but that's definitely a factor. To ignore that part of it and claim that casinos are the most popular rooms ever is pretty ridiculous.
Well if you look alot of them are legit, the ones removed are the same people buying on new accounts so still practically the number it says. Moreover to sum up your point ..Quote:

just because they aren't the most popular rooms 24/7 don't mean it isn't a loss j/s
