Oh, you have to use facebook? Looks like I won't be entering then. Thanks for that.
No need to be passive aggressive about it. Yeah, Jagex make mistakes, lots infact, more than you could think humanly possible, that it's hard to take them serious at times, I get that, i like to point out their flaws as much as the next person. However when they do ideas like this? This is harmless, and infact more positive than any of the other promotions they've had. I don't think they deserve scrutiny for this event though.
Save it for the other actual mistakes they make.
Also, if privacy is your concern, you don't have to give facebook any real details, name yourself John Doe if you like. the competition is done through some "sweepstakes" app thing though, which means it would require access to certain info you put on facebook, like email, name age, friends list etc. you'd be giving your email for them the contact you if you win anyway, so that should be a moot point.
And you only have to give a postal address IF you actually do win. by which i'm sure you email jagex directly, so you don't even have to use facebook for that. and you can then easily deactivate your facebook account after it's no longer needed when the competition ends.
Ultimately, it's your choice, i'm just mentioning you can still do it without giving any info over if that's why you don't like facebook.
