And that's exactly what happens in EU. You can't influence the loots, globals, HoFs and ATH with your knowledge, you depend purely on luck to get them.
The gambling rules here in Norway are VERY strict aswell, but my point was that I think that MA has it under control how they legally can advertise in different parts of the world (I hope they do at least). As far as the influencing loot I would say that you can. Information is a keyword here i think. Ofcourse there are as many loot theories as there are players in EU, but if you know where that narc are usually found, and you know that it spawns approx. each 2 day, I would say that you can influence your loot if you choose to act upon that info. Understanding how different aproches to different proffesion can also help you a lot, and imho it is what moves EU away from purely luck-driven to skill/info dependant. When this is said, I'll have to admit that I am still a struggeling lowlvl player who do not know as much as I would like about EU yet. Anyways, the sun is shining, and the beer is calling. Have a great weekend
