Hard disagree, less than .1% of the playerbase owns a rare. They were far cheaper in the past. People pursued not just a phat but sets of phats, full rare sets. Many, many players pursued them. There are many in game. Play the Gower quest again. That's runescape.
Whatever percentage have rares, you can't count alts and players who just log in a few times. The people who stuck around, paid membership regularly, got rares. They bought a stake in the future, watched as it went up.
Currently, runescape is different. I'm talking about the first 10 years or so. There's still an entire section of the forums dedicated to trading rares. Few trade now, but that used to be a hot market. This game succeeded because of rares. It's hard hardness and truth.
And if y'all didn't play back then, then y'all can't have an opinion. Because you weren't there. But it's also just a game. I cannot for the life of me manage to catch Covid. Perhaps it's because I didn't get vaxxed? The travails of those lacking immunity.

Let’s be real here… The token market is now purely a gamble, gambling can bring profit yes, but you can and I’m sure we ALL have lost the recent bet when we heard about the oddment store token re-releases… So.. The token market will always be profitable depending on how long you wish to hang onto your token stack, but beware of the inevitable re-release via the oddment store on tokens relevant to the event you in which it was originally obtained.. Eg… I’d be sweating if I had a bunch of Zombie walk tokens coming up to H’ween, or my Christmas jumper stacks coming up to XMAS… You have been warned.
Smarter ideas would be dropping bank into cheaper discontinued items which I will not name as I don’t want this to come across as a manipulative post..

With how much Jagex milks this game it's surprising they haven't tapped into releasing the tokens for profit. Just look at all other games with loot boxes, people will spend thousands trying to get rare drops.
Jagex should do the same with tokens imo, it introduces a steady but low supply of tokens and whales have something to spend cash on other than 200m all with keys.
They said years ago cosmetics don't make much money. I'm surpised they haven't released shadow gem achto/torva/pernix/tectonic etc yet.
I need my blue charms back.

Jagex has been hesitant in releasing walks even after being asked so many times on streams, makes me think they are limited if not discontinued. They posted an unequivocal reply on reddit that they would release plague/assassin/zombie. However, they would announce the return first. Most assume this would be an unlock in oddment store, not a token release.
Just prior to that, they said they'd love to release assassin, maybe "all walks." You'd have to look at the context. But what does "all walks" include? I suspect it only includes those 3. However, as with everything, we don't know.
Some speculate Jagex is too lazy or too fearful of reaction to ever bring these back.
If someone wants to find these, I recommend finding it. I'm not doing it
