In gw2, I’m assuming you mean that you can’t gain black lion keys?

But you can buy gems?

You can gain them from map completion but you can't buy them using gems. Gems can be bought for IRL money though and used for anything that isn't randomized.

But also, why do we even ban gambling? To protect people from that which is an obvious abuse and manipulation of their senses to seal their money? Fair trade being allowed.

As I said, in my country it's not illegal or banned. I have gambled on local gambling websites before. It requires a business to have a gambling license here, which isn't something game companies seem to want. (I guess this would also set a precedent for other countries to tackle this sort of gambling.)

So then why does the definition of gambling have anything to do with randomization? Would it be better or worse if there was no randomization? To me, that seems irrelevant.

You can't gamble if there is only a single outcome.

Hmmmmm. I wish there was a good answer for this stuff.

Maybe ban any sort of IRL money purchases of anything that has randomization and borders on gambling. I guess if it gets banned in the EU and US the rest will probably follow.
