idk as someone who deals blackjack for a living irl, the blackjack rules/style/whatever here is just bad. 

1. When you split a hand the extra hands go against different dealer hands, the up card is the same but the down card changes which could potentially lead into situations where #2 happens.
2. You are allowed to split/double down vs a dealer natural blackjack. This is just stupid. If either party has a blackjack it should be an instant winner. It should not allow you to hit or split or double against it.

Im not saying people shouldn't be losing, but when the system is more rigged against the player than it is initially with just raw odds then it gives even less incentive to play it. And this is coming from someone who knows how to play, I used about 50 tokens to refresh my memory on why it is bad and even throwing some hands to try and get certain results for testing i still am only down like 1.8% of when i started with. I do not think that the blackjack should be tweaked or the hands being drawn are suspiciously in the houses favor, I see it every day at work it happens. I do take issue tho when the system itself allows for more losses to happen where they otherwise wouldn't if the same exact hands, same decks and same shuffle after every X hands rule were being dealt irl.

While it is no bogie...

I remember trying to time clicking the city on the :00 times so i could try and boost my chances of getting a drop. It was much more exciting when you pull it off and you had an event pop up. you know you got something but you don't know what until you check it only to find a hammer.

How about when city finds were based on the game time, notice they are all at :00, and were events and not on the map

Or when there was peaceful factions and that it was a selling point to advertise as one to some people.

Or people like Astral selling sigs for millions on auction

I remember playing in high school and one of my friends telling me to get the 10 merits for the yak sword because it was the best melee in the game. 

Didn't they also change the Ivory cane mission/quest thing? Iirc you had to be 1000 days old before you were able to even do it and i believe it was also a very strong melee

Damage numbers and health were also scaled waaaaay back since back in the day but it was to the effect of having 1m health and getting hit for 500k where as now it is 9k health and 4.5k hit

when vico actually was able to be sold for anything

If it is a free money machine then why don't you use it? Make a dozen multi accounts, slut out some losses and funnel all back to the main and then take a 2 day vacation. Im sure they don't remove any of the illegally gained goods and just let you keep it, you should be fine. 

I think around 30 of these finds have been during awareness week
