Since the CQ is nearly useless at the moment, and having two players in the same room is currently impossible, why not add a console for gambling in the room? It could start with maybe one kind of card game (made up by CCP or a variation of an existing one) and you could wager isk on games. If the technology is available at the moment, it'd be cool to be able to play against people you invite to games while placing bets down, which would allow some player interaction from your room without actually seeing another player just yet.

Just a thought, if you have any ideas of your own for this\criticism please share.

They already stated in Dev Blogs and at the last Fanfest that gambling and mini game tables are already slated for WiS...but not in CQ. I doubt having them implement it into CQ would be a wise way to expend resources when they might be better off just finishing WiS.

We will unfortunately have to wait until CCP picks up and works on WiS some more though. Focus right now is FiS as it should be until the masses are appeased. Unfortunately the masses will never be appeased...the moment CCP says anything about spending even a millisecond on WiS people will freak and try to chase them with torches and pitchforks until they go back to FiS.

Keep in mind that there are already a few third-party sites that provide the opportunity to gamble for ISK. Somer.blink and EOH both come to mind, and I'm sure there are more. It seems a bit of a waste of time for Devs to implement a system for gambling when players have already found ways to do so.

Eve is a sandbox game, CCP loves it when players step up and create services themselves, why would they spend time working on a way to remove a sandbox element of the game by making their own system and driving third-party gambling out of business? The only way I could see CCP stepping in and making their own gambling is if it dealt with Aur, which is tied to PLEX and their cash flow (depending on how it was set up, it might give a whole new meaning to 'losing the shirt off your back', lol).
