Well, I'm not so sure it's irrelevant. I certainly defer to you on Swedish gambling law, but the point about mentioning bridge is that it's a game in which there a large element of randomness (just as there is with item drops in WoW), but AFAIK rubber bridge has been considered a game of skill in both US (at least California) and UK law (unlike betting on horses, or even poker). Actually, acquiring items in WoW strikes me as much less dependent on luck, and much more dependent on time, organization, and some minimal experience than anything in bridge.
