"I Lost $100K+" | Runescape Duel Arena Takes Hold of Gambling Addicts

Jagex needs to disable/replace the duel arena like 14 years ago

The duel arena didn’t ruin my life, but it did ruin my experience playing RuneScape

Inbefore you lose PMod status for making a video that really displays the things wrong with the duel arena in this fashion, weird world.

"Move it to the Rat Pits" they called him a heretic for speaking the truth.

All my homies hate the duel arena

i was addicted to duel arena won over 25b and lost everything, couldnt stop gambling on duel arena so i just made ironman

damn that ExpressVPN transition was smooth

That grandma is still in the cage till this day...

What’s interesting about the duel arena in RS is that it can literally feed real life addictions because of how easy it is to buy and sell gold. When I was about 16, I had my mom’s credit card number memorized and I had a very good range boxing account. There was a day I got cleaned for somewhere around 200 mil (this was 15 years ago). When I got cleaned, I bought like $150 worth of RS gold and got cleaned again, then about $100 more and got cleaned again. I got my ass whooped and my parents both had a legit sit down with me and explained what a gambling addiction was and told me I couldn’t play the game anymore because it was unhealthy for me. In hindsight, that conversation and the repercussions (grounding, barred from the game, and paying them back a few hundred bucks) had a lasting impact on me. Just thought I’d share because, crazy stuff!

I’m saying it now. Kempq didn’t kill himself

Honestly, the real problem is the staking. I'd love to see a duel arena where staking is impossible. Being able to have organized 1v1 fights, with custom rules and restrictions. Edit: Hell, you can keep staking for small stakes, capped at 1m maybe. That way, players can still stake meaningful amounts of gp, but you'd have to stake 24/7, and lose every stake, in order to lose this amount of money. Losing 1b should happen over the course of months, not seconds.

“Im keeping my grandma in a cage until duel arena is removed “ lmfaoo

I hate Jagex, but I love Runescape.

It would be interesting if The Netherlands Gambling Authority saw this. They made EA change Fifa lootboxes. Because it was too close to gambling.

We need an endless riot against the arena in falador

Jagex hot "fix" will be to remove duel arena teleport from dueling ring

this is why i dont gamble in real life or on runescape

That "Spin To Win" voice-over is giving me anxiety

I honestly think jagex is selling gold so they keep the duel arena

The more content I watch, the more I see how many issues iron man mode fixes. I just complain about shit RNG, other people’s lives are being ruined 😭
