I would like to have a big burst of my opinion here and please take it as feedback.
So with the implementation of Killion Co and the use of buying points with real life money. Well that seems to be the starting point for this opinion of mine.
FACT: This is a server and children under the legal age of the United States play, there is nothing wrong with this, its a game.
FACT: You can buy Killion Co points in which you can use to buy a key and or chest ingame. The contents of the chest is unknown.
So, what happens when a player spends $10 to buy points only to receive an item which is easily accessible ingame (just as an example, if its actually in chest I will be surprised) A player gets points, gets a chest and key, opens chest and gets dirt. Please, just imagine how mad that player will be, they have pretty much wasted their money which they wont be refunded on. In this case it would be coherent with the server using that means to make money. If someone else gets an op item then maybe not (NO OFFENCE MARK AND STARZY - I'm sure you wont mind players voicing their simple thoughts and opinion on a thread)
So now lets go back to FACT 1. Children under the legal age of the United States play Killion, upon using the service they are deemed to have read, understood the Terms of Use and are considered as accepted it. But if this player is who is (for this scenario 10) using real life money only to buy a chest with a chance of getting a rather crap item, well this is coherent with gambling in real life. You use your money only to get something that could be horrible.
Thus my point in that gibberish above is Killion Co in my mind is doing many positive things to Evolution Gaming which players don't think twice about. In my mind the main thing it is doing is something which would be highly frowned upon if not illegal in the United States. Encouraging people under the Legal age of the United States to Gamble.
I may have come across too strong here or I may not have expressed a concern and opinion good enough at all. However, Mark and/or Starzy please respond to this post with a statement saying my point of view is correct and/or wrong. I would also like to know will (if not already) Evolution Gaming be adding a statement to the Donor part of their Terms of Use, only to say that the player Understands that Evolution Gaming takes no responsibility for their actions regarding the use of spending in real life money to possibly use a feature in a service which could seem coherent to gambling?
Buying crates and keys isn't gambling - it's the purchase of an item. That's like saying a Christmas present is gambling. As Killion is free to play and there isn't anything that is asking you to buy the crates, they're called microtransactions, and they're not at all illegal nor is it gambling.

This, everyone, would be the completely fair 10v10 fight against MoB, just so you can see when there is a completely fair fight, what happens. Yes the second half the allies did lose a bit, many of our fighters had clan homed for gear including Toodamn and jarzeh. That point towards the beginning where I had to run for a bit and eventually relog was where I got the pvp bug.

Not saying I agree with what you're saying but If I recall anyone under the age of 18 in the United States is not bound by an online agreement like a ToS. Plus, shouldn't there be some box to check or something to type to acknowledge that there is some rules, etc...? Because the signs at C Block are very easily missed.

Hi this is nutellagod some how i got banned for 3 days, i did nothing wrong and i think they must have temporally banned the wrong guy. how i happened was i was in a block and a just got killed by a diamond guy for no reason other than that diamond guys just like to do that sort of thing. once i re spawned half a second later i was, for no reason, "temporarily banned from server for 3 days" please un-ban me. Also i tried to create an account on the community forms and when i went to my email to activate it it said error so i don't know if that's because i was temp. banned but now i cant write in the community forms. Please reply and thank you for your time -nutellagod

Why would you ask if you already know the answer is no?
Ptigers can't mute, as he isn't a Chat Mod.
