Don't gambling
I know this is one way z8 makes money. But for kids, be smart in gambling in real life. In CASINO you will the slogan: "the winners are those who know when to stop". z8 should have same slogan ---- kids are more likely to be addictive to it, and it is kind of "real" money.

IMO, gambling in CF with ZP crates is just as bad as it is in real life. You are using REAL money after all, and it's $1 for 1 spin with God-knows-what chances. It could be a 1/100 chance of winning a BM gun for all we know...
And that's why I'm not buying ZP crates anymore. If I do, it's for the coupons, not for the actual gun. -

Coupons are actually cool in ZP crates. In GP crates they are like 1 in 50 crates O_O. -

FREE ZP can be obtained through doing offers/surveys and other sites that allow you to do the same thing (e.g., PlaySpan). People don't have to spend money. -

I mean, put a slogan there. You know in the cigarrete pack there is a warning, smoking is harmful.
They should put a slogan there, "Winners are those who know when to stop". But no one can explain when to stop, right ?:) -

Buying ZP isn't really "addicting." People can stop whenever they want to. It's their own conscience decision on whether or not to spend money on buying ZP. Also, spending money on a game and smoking aren't exactly closely related... -

And z8 can have other way to make money, for example, sell ammution. They can produce certain bullets that can improve the damage by 3%, 5% and 10%, maybe in MM and HM only is enough, other mode can also have it. They can sell it for 100 per zp or any reasonable price. Owner can use it any time in game. And they will soon need to regain some.
And they can produce certain memorial weapon for some event, with only limited amount, they are allowed to be traded between owners, but a certain transaction zp must be submitted, or they can build a bid system when there are lots of fan of it.
For example, they release 100 St. Patrick Diamond Desert Eagle today for open purchase, or bid. Later they can put 25 April fool 2011 Swords into market for the player who qualified. Some of them might can not be used in game to kill, but will create some benefit or just for some honor. -

Here's the bottom line to what you said: Buy ZP for items. You're trying to get people to not buy ZP, but this just goes against what you said (even if it isn't "gambling"). -

With that said i know blackmarket = lots of money for z8 but i think beside the cupons there should be some weps (permanent) that you could buy for zp .

Ammution is different from gambling. With gambling, you don;t know exact result. With ammution, you know there is benefit to use it. It is more like a "product" or "merchandise". -

If all the weapon can be gained by zp, no one will play the fortune wheel.
There must be luxury thing that can not acquired by certain amount of zp to make the fortune wheel more fun, that is a strategy. If there provide 1000000000 GP in fortune wheel, but there is still weapon can not buy by GP, they will keep playing. But once all the item can be acquired by GP, many will stop going to BM. It is like in real life, if all the merchanise and service can be purchased by 1000 dollars, and all of them need only pay once, casino can not run, production can not going on.
There need to be something consumable ---- like we need to repair weapon. -
I'm not saying gambling is good. Even though I've had a lot of luck in the Black Market lately, even I know my limits. Pretty much ALL of the ZP I have obtained is through free methods.
The "free" surveys are only free for YOU. Z8 has to get the money somehow, so the companies who work up the surveys pay for you. It's a win-win situation...you do not have to pay while Z8 gets money anyway.
You would be surprised at how many crates are opened each day. -

Addicted to black market IS gambling. -

You're still suggesting that kids should buy ZP for an item that will go away. Either way, people will spend money on this game.
