We're talking a bit less than 10 million gold per Gull, on average. If you had a shop bot that seems to me to be a price that many people would consider paying.Right, well, there is a lot more hassle than just clicking. A clvl 9 (which someone figured out a while back is the optimum gull gambling level) character can only carry 140k. That means the gambler will have to be reloaded with gold 71 times.
I used up 140k once trying this, and it took so long and was so annoying that I'll never bother again. Daggers don't always show on the gambling screen, you know. Trying to use 10 million gold in this manner is a horrifying concept. I am here to play a fun game, not participate in a tedious exercise that, for each second that passes, makes me more angry that there isn't a "Reset inventory" button, or that there arent 5 tabs showing one of each item type every time.
You can probably guess that I don't gamble in real life. ;)
Yeah, I suppose it would be feasible using shop bots, but I'm not fond of bot use, and certainly wouldn't risk being banned for it.
