Rs3 Alternative Game Modes....

Having only read the Jagex news post and read the forum posts, I'm feeling very ambiguous about this.
It seems to me that there ARE going to be benefits in the main game for playing on the FSWs, even for long time players.
XP boosts - these don't worry me. I ground out every 99 but I realise how hard it must be for anyone to start the game from scratch when there are players who already have xp in the 100 millions. Just the increase in the number of skills you have to grind must feel off-putting to new players. So, give new players xp boosts by all means.
Increase drop chances - not happy with this. I don't even pvm that much but for those players who do pvm, how fair is it that players from the FSWs will have better drop chance than they will? It's unfair - if someone is given the chance to get their stats up quickly so they can fight the harder bosses, why also give them better drop chances than long-time players?
Tradable rares - again, this seems a step too far. I came into the game just too late to get the real rares handed out so it's a slap in the face to find that, if I want a chance for new ones, I have to create a new account. I know that I can get rares from drops, etc, (but RNG hates me
) but, new players or old, we all have the same chance. Why are FSW accounts able to get extra rares that I can't get and which I'll never be able to afford?
I know I can create a new account to play on FSW if it's important to me but I have a job, a family, and friends in RL and I don't play the game all day, every day so I wouldn't have the time to run 2 accounts so that's not an option for me.
So FSWs might be OK for people who can spare the time/money to play on more than one account, or to new/lapsed players, but Jagex again seem to be ignoring a lot of long-term, loyal players. Maybe they feel that they can afford to because we'll just carry on paying membership because that's what we always do? It's a mistake to ignore your cash cows!
