Why does absolutely every single event need to revolve around MTX like honest to God not every event needs to have MTX items that cost $250 worth of keys for 1 or maybe 2 cosmetics if you're lucky, it's kind of a joke, I get you're trying to make money but you don't have to do it with every single event or every single update, it's honestly infuriating, normal game developers would drop all this stuff in the event for free then add 1 or 2 MTX items in the store that cost maybe $10 each but Runescape and Jagex have become far to greedy for players like me to ever spend money on this game again, root yourselves in reality because the amount of MTX you have in this game is already too much, adding MTX events on a regular basis instead of a fun event with free cosmetics and other stuff, I can't even remember the last event that was run that didn't include MTX it was over 10 years ago if I'm not mistaken, wake up Jagex and smell the cup of tea as Protoxx would say.

Like this is why Jagex can't bring in any new players, because they're trying to shove MTX down everyones throat at every turn, new players aren't going to stick around for that, new players that spend money on the event get nothing because of the abysmal drop rates leave and never come back, players who can't afford it feel discouraged and left out, and the ones who can just barely afford it, the ones with gambling addictions like myself would still choose to purchase it in the hopes we would get something only to get nothing then hate ourselves for spending food money on this game, that's why a lot of us have a sour taste in our mouth about this game, you better start doing some good things for the player base that isn't revolved around MTX because you still have a small window to show players that you care, but I have a gut feeling that nothing will change, or it will only change for 1 event and then right back to abusing players again just like before, you need to build a healthy base before you can gouge people that's just how the business works unless you don't care that your game isn't bringing new players and bleeding old ones.

From what I read, everything is available from just playing the game. I.e. MTX is not necessary.

This means we're not locked out if we don't want to pay extra, and the whales that keep the costs down for the rest of us can purchase more MTX if they so wish.

It's a win-win scenario for me.

Based on past experiences, I am expecting any tradeable items or those available on TH to be so rare I have no chance of winning one.

We get a rotten pumpkin head to start, that is upgraded by smashing 500 pumpkins. I reckon I can do that. What will be in those 500 pumpkins?

I am guessing maybe 1 or 2 of the new emotes. Of course I will have a ton of candy buffs that I won't get around to using before they expire.

That's the pattern as I know it. I am reminded of the last Easter event where I put in the effort, knowing it was hopeless. Once it ended, I felt empty and so did my home world. I don't think it ever recovered.

i think the guy who said "when is the halloween event" put it perfectly. sure the microtransaction part is stupid. I agree, its available without squeel of fortune or treasure hunter whatever its called. i dont like garbage micro transcations either it ruins the game.

For me the biggest issues have been the ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE EXCUSE OF A HALLOWEEN EVENT. WHERE ARE THE PUMPKINS ALONG THE TREES WHERE IS THE GRAPHICAL CHANGES, WHERE IS THE ACTUAL HALLOWEEN AMBIANCE... ITS A FUCKING JOKE. I USED TO LOVE halloween events its the best events, fuck summer events and all that garbage.

Halloween
christmas
easter

those are the primary events for runescape.

forget double xp weekends, forget summer stuff and all that garbage bring that actual events with quests and interactive content.

I will never forget 2006 draynor village halloween event, it was such a lovely event. I loved it and i can still remember the excitement i had.

NOW halloween is a pile of garbage.

It makes me so sad.

my issue is that even jagexz clearly does not consider any of these holiday events real holiday events.

the holiday emotes say they unlock at every holiday event yet not one holiday event in the last few years has unlocked its respective holiday emotes.

i made a new account a few years ago and have been annoyed that i cant unlock any of the holiday emotes on it
