wow alot of...negativity...well i hate to add to it but their right lol. but it doesnt mean they have to be so negative about it. heres runescape in a nutshell...

from rs1 to rs2, the graphics are exceptional improved and i give them dibs on that, beta was fun, then as they progressed, later they removed free trade which actually helped me stop giving so much. but i very much hated free trade stolen from us...

from rs2 to eoc, well i did ask for a better combat system, but this? seriously? a world of warcraft copycat if you ask me, i dont play world of warcraft because of alot of reasons, now if it were a press of a button to switch back n forth between eoc & classic rs2 combat, would be great

as for the sof, bonds, solomons general store, lodestones, etc.. now the only one i actually agree with is, bonds, and my reasoning is because it helps those who cannot pay with real cash, and friends can help one another, as for sof, solomons general store and lodestones, they cripple the economy of runescape, and the flow of gp, for one lodestones as alot of you guys love so dearly, now think about those who have worked for years to acheve those shortcuts, teleports, variety sets of transportation just to some update, rendering all that hard work down the drain, yes im serious, look heres an example, i used to use a slayer ring to get myself to a fairy ring to travel across rs, edgy, yanille, for slayer tasks etc... i also combined them with the tree transportation to make things quiet swift, switching to gliders as needed, and teleport jewelery helped a ton, but this lodestone crap ruined all of that hard work i had done

if jagex wins this award ill be surprised, im not saying im against them getting it, im just saying we have alot of disappointed customers, flaring at jagex from different angles, i know they cant please everybody but, i do support most of their updates, im a 12 year veteran just so you know...been playing since mid 2001, have fun an enjoy what you have

You don't deserve it one bit.

The gameplay, along with skills and the economy is broken. For example smithing, spend hundreds of millions for 99, make rune plate. Tier 50/99 armour after achieving skill mastery. There is a similar story with other skills, you never took the effort to overhaul and keep them in line with all the stuff you kept releasing.


Then there are the trust issues with your community.

Sorry but you need to stop milking this game and just go away. 2013 has been a very bad year, and only the veteran players understand this.

I've been playing since 2004, never enjoyed RS as much as I have within the past few years. Sure, I can agree with you that smithing isn't very rewarding right now, but that may change with time, give them a chance. They're working on high level skilling for most skills, just look at the BTS for October, they're making high level woodcutting, smithing may be next for all you know. They are milking the game as much as any MMO company milks their own, for enough to make profit and quality updates alongside. In order to make things as good as possible they need to make more money, which has been shown through updates such as RS3, Botwatch and the NiS, quests like Birthright of the Dwarves, The World Wakes etc. People seem to forget Jagex are a business and they need profit to succeed. Every other business is the same. Signature

All this negativity... You'd think half of the negativity was just for the sake of complaining... Oh wait.

Lighten up guys, I wouldn't doubt some of you are still upset over SoF, released over a year ago, SgS, again released over a year ago making no impact on the general gameplay itself, EoC, released almost a year ago with a beta beforehand and a poll set after doing the combat academy asking if you guys want it released in the game. (Fancy that? Jagex wanting you to give the EoC a real chance before asking you if you want it.) Point is, for those upset over SoF, SgS and Bonds, remember this, other games, mainly MMOs like RuneScape for that matter use micro-transactions, does it mean Jagex are copying them? No. It simply means they are looking for another way to yield profit, which by the way is being put right back into the game, with updates such as html5, RS3, Battle of Lumbridge etc. At least they aren't straight up giving you the option to buy xp like other MMOs do. And with bonds, I'm sure you're aware of what they are used for and half the reasoning behind them being implemented is the communities fault if you disagree with them. Tut tut tut RWTers.

I'm sure there's many other reasons people think justify their 'hate' for Jagex, and I can't be bothered writing all of them down. No doubt most of you will vote for other games such as League of Legends or WoW, and that's fair enough. But ask yourself this, do you really prefer them to RuneScape? Despite this game's flaw in your eyes, if you still play you are still passionate about the game and likely want it to succeed. So stop looking at only the negatives and maybe try focusing on the positives of the game for a change.

RuneScape got my vote in the Golden Joysticks weeks ago. Good luck Jagex! Hope you do well. :) Signature

I'm not linking my social-media to any third party website.
It is a shame I cannot just vote with e-mail registration.

As for my vote, I do not believe RS3 is the best online game, but I do believe it once was and can be the best once again. You've got a lot of problems to work out before I'm going to say that this is the best online game.

However, from all games I can choose from, I would select RS3. It just has little meaning as there's not much to choose from.

Get HTML5 properly running (and add Opera Next's icon to the accepted beta browsers, as it runs HTML5 better than Google Chrome does), get the audio properly playing (it is so glitchy as this moment that I have to keep it off) and most of all, hire more staff to listen to us.

well actually since bonds this game can become 100% f2p so i might consider voting.

content wise they dont serve it but neither does wow with its ***** pandas or lol with the noob based game **** vs elder scrolls online is win for rs too imo since teso is more money driven then any game out there even surpassing wow.

i admit rs is nothing compared to the old games but what commercials does runescape have? i've been adressing this for 2 years now still havent seen a decent gameplay trailer. They could however show the gods in a new commercial but yeah they wont do it prob

but since they actually ****** the dwarves storyline and almost every single piece of content this years was dead content idk if i'd vote. Also most of the new content seems like they ran out of ideas it just isnt game breaking content anymore its more like yh thats been done. another reason i probably wont vote is prob because it isnt as immersive as playing wow orso you dont feel part of the world going from click based to key based gaming would make it more immersive also the delay between doing 2 things doesnt help (abilities etc) i'd say make a downloadable version the game is to large to stay browser based
