when you do coloring stuff you get PED as loot already
PED = Project Entropia Dollers
PEC = Project Entropia Cents
There are 10 PED which is the in game Currency to the $1
Thats what the Outside World Sees that the loot received was actual in game currency.
Now Switching to Oil / Ammo / Hides / isnt actual currency even though it has a value.
Therefore MA could easily say
we don't give out the Virtual Currency as loot.
Which
they don't they give items that the outside world dont know about as loot.
of course these have a currency value but it isn't the actual currency used.
Now I would love to have global screenies similar to below
but as Entropia Universe
is the only Cash Economy MMO then if there not giving out currency it is easier also
with the World Wide Participation then there are not just UK / EU / USA / AU / NZ Rules and Regulations
In the UK if you put Cash in to a one arm bandit / Fruit Machine by UK LAW it has to show what
the potential return rate would be x that by a number of countries and x specific country laws gets complicated.
Again around the Time Period of these changes there were rogue online casinos operating offshore and countries loosing taxes which they weren't happy about as well and so new laws and regulations were put in place also in the USA there were a number of casinos that were operating and were shut down.
Entropia Universe saw this coming and so changed the loot system to oils and stuff so that it continued.
Yes I remember the old days of getting peds / pec in loot I have adapted and will adapt again to what they put in to loot 99% of the time it just gets dropped in the TT.
In my first weeks of playing I even dropped an ESI in to the TT my mistake but it happened.
