That is unfortunate, the only thing that made me log online a few times a month was due to the reason that i loved to watch some fun high stakes, didnt even have to stake myself. I took pleasure in watching the high stakes.
Why does this feel like an UUID ban to me
The game isn't about gambling, it's about training and leveling your character. Having an adventure, talking to friends and killing monsters. It's definitely NOT about gambling.
That kinda kills the beauty of the game. The fact that you decide what pleasure we are gonna get out of the game.
I started playing this game in 2008 with some irl friends, it all started with skilling and pking and having an adventure as you say.
But as time evolved, they lost their interest. I didn't, i found new ones. Staking was one of them. And it held me here for years.
And another thing you just did, you put us all under the same segment. You basically said what we are supposed to do in this game and what we are not supposed to do in this game. You defined the game as some would define how to live life.
A common life definition: Stay healthy, get a good education, get a good job, marry, get kids. All A4.
Emps World's new definition: Having an adventure, talking to friends and killing monsters. It's definitely NOT about gambling.
Life isn't all about making it how the society usually does. Its about making it how you want it.

Now[...]. I can understand. You as the mother of this game. As a mother, you dont want to treat your kid too much. You dont want him to get fat. So when you made the "only cash staking" update. It was like a mother telling her child; Alrighty son. You are starting to get fat. No more candy in weekdays, only in the weekends now.
But when you took all of it away, NO MORE CANDY? Can you imagine how a 12 year old kid will feel on a saturday evening, when his own mother wont give him any candy? You are giving a 12 year old kid cabbages and tune, that's what you are doing right now.
I am gonna be straight and honest with you. The players that was online everyday, just standing there in duel arena, either begging for money, watching stakes or actually staking. That is many % of our community. Taking a risk on the fact they will come back and stake some more if this update fails. Wont be such a good idea, i believe.
Lets say there is 80 players ingame. 8 of those players are around duel arena just doing what they all do. Wasting their time. But when you think about it. That is 10% of the users online. Player population will sink down to 72 players online, and that wont look healthy from the perspective of new/potential new player (Even if this isn't an accurate number, it will add up in the long run cause you cant really tell what kinda players play on this and this time)
Buisness wise, bad idea. But hey what do i know. Just taking my buisness bachelor in finance and administration while working as a "small" key account manager on the side
