I'd like to see Sabacc come in, and be fun.

Also, no way in the world one could block out an age, as the game requires a credit card, which pretty much assumes 18. An age can be easily faked on your profile, so forget the age idea.

It just states that they aren't liable, seeing how they attempted to prevent anyone from under 18 from gambling. Just like porn sites.

I would love to see gambling in-game, but you won't see it. Sadly, it won't happen. They're going to want to retain the 'Teen' rating.
Having a Teen rating won't effect gambling. It would be labeled adult only if it was gambling for real money. Gambling with fake in game currency isn't illegal and doesn't have an age restriction because there are no consequences for playing with fake money. It's like only allowing adults to play monopoly because you have to buy, sell and trade money.

They can maintain a Teen rating with fake "games of chance."

As for the rest I think that would be would be awesome to have those in there. Set up tournaments and what not. You could play for rare cards or pieces. As for it being in at all, not super sure if they will considering the effort they would have to put in to make it enjoyable and worth wile.

I bet some poor sap out there would still get addicted to it.

It'd be neat if they could do something more with the whole swoop-racing concept, such as allowing players to own different kinds of swoop-bikes, have some degree of customization (engines, safety equipment, etc...). High-stakes, major-league swoop racing would be a pretty interesting gameplay element.

Like Aberrant, I wonder if it would be worth the effort, considering that it wouldn't be a core gameplay element that is attractive to the whole player-base. Perhaps it would work best as part of a later expansion?

I actually think a large part of the comunity would be interested in racing in some form. Be it; swoop, speeder, etc. I really hope they include it somehow. Another cool thing to add would be hunting. Like a hi

I meant along the lines that Vellic mentioned with adding quests or varying degrees of skill NPCs. You play them or the quests for rare cards or pieces. Other players you would play for money.
