Every day or damn near every day there is a new SOF promotion first it wants to explain itself to me like ive never played a video game online before, then it shows me all the cool things i could get, then i get the lowest of the low in prizes big whoop, then it shows me all the cool stuff i could get if i buy spins. Fk this, this is shoved down your throat more than ever, this is why no one plays rs3 anymore, theres ALOT of other reasons but this is one BIG issue, i dont know any game that shoves pay2win down my throat and spends so much time on MTX other than RS3...



Dont give me this "Jagex making more money than ever, its needed to keep the game afloat." the game was around long before we had pay2win and now theres 2 modes of rs and people play both. Subscriptions would keep this game afloat just fine especially since the numbers are lower than they have ever been lol and alot of OSRS is bots.


Yeah i know its not SOF anymore, its TH or w/e they changed it to now, IDC its all the same shit trying to steal my money.
OSRS - Filled with harassers sad...~
- Give me Private Hiscores this should not be public information! - ! REMOVE OSRS TAX !

.


yeah things have changed since then unfortunately.and they do need mtx to keep them afloat. buuuuut they are pushing it more than whats needed to just "keep them afloat"

yes they have 2 games 1 with mtx, one with just bonds as mtx. however it seems if rs3 wasnt so heavily on mtx osrs wouldnt be able to be what it was.

this very old meme kind of sums it up




however subscriptions wouldnt keep this game afloat. so many people use bonds as their membership. take away bonds so many people would quit as they dont want to put rl money into this game. what would happen is membership prices would have to go up a shit ton, and the player base would drop even further.

does mtx suck - yes
do i enjoy mtx - no
do i partake in mtx - no
it is needed - unfortunately yes

the best thing you can do. is to well not care how others play. any mtx that comes up. just go "its not for me" like so much other content in this game. anything pvp related i do not care for. same with mtx.

I normally just let them do their thing, but they have my attention now.

One promo offered free prizes on login. Like most promos, it required 2 interactions to see the whole deal. You get the tutorial first then it shows the Promo details. The prize was 2 free lamps.

The details page keeps mentioning free daily keys. Implying that is a feature of TH and not from another source. Ain't none. Even if they say the daily key is free, that is singular.

Cash Prizes! (L O L)

Cloak of Seasons promo. You buy 4 items with the fallen leaves currency. There is another item to combine them for only 100 leaves. Great! Buy all of them and it requires the full cost of another main item.

They couldn't be serious but they were. They were like yeah dude, that is a totally new item.

Edit: I almost forgot, it seems like every promo now has a cosmetic available. Folks don't even talk about them anymore.

Jagex should be careful relaying on MTX too much...A cancellion on MTX would be highly 'destructive' to funds and company.

You see, i'm building something, something no other human has ever been able to do.

even jagex's legal teams might resign on the grounds of not wanting to be deemed "against the children and education"

You see P2W has taken a huge rollorcoastor ride, MTX in general. I am fully aware, yes an online company requires funds but methods used are to be judged.

----
P2W methods, i know they will state "but it's earnable for free with extra hours of gameplay"

^I know parents will be raged by how much hours that is 'extra'.

"what glues your children to video games so much, the fun? the MTX earnables because you didn't want to give them the 29.99$........"

Games are addicting enough on their own, why fuel the fire? Can video games MTX be convicted for fueling this? what problems does it cause for children?.....

How do our minds value things? What if your MTX is deemed more valuable to my children vs homework or better suited investments?

What about MTX harassment towards children? <--not out yet btw

---

If jagex thought i would forget about pushing gambling onto children...you will need way more lawyers but....I designed the legal system in London England, i know their is truly no legal defense for this.

Parents Vs even 100million lawyers will result in the same verdict.....

---
P2W truly is on the wrong side of history in our changing world. Eye within the pyramid is watching :D

----
Proof jagex also don't read forums, i'v been posting my warnings against current humanity for years.

Crazy what one can ignore until it's too late, I honour jagex but i can't defend them, my mind auto gathers people's motives and reasons why on what they did. My mind is only programed to see the victims of the aftermath and i can't ignore them.

^ran out of chars.

Disclaimer to my post above; to my believes, nothing is political in that post. what current humanity declares political is subjective to their stupidity.

I also firmly believe 'players of all ages' should know their will be a 'limit' put on this MTX nonsense....

When in the future it happens is unknown to me, but more you push the MTX boulder , the harder the fall will be over the steep cliff you created....How high did you make it? gravity only accelerates the speed.

Erm...

This is only "shoved down our throats" in the TH interface.

If you don't open the TH interface, you wouldn't even know what the prizes were.

So...

If you don't like it, don't open it.

Agreed seems like they brainstorm new th promo ideas every month and develop mtx as a priority over actual game updates hence why this month has no updates and hero pass doesn't count as a true update so it's another patch month.

Just because they shove this garbage down our throats does not mean we must swallow it.

I have always despised P2W in any game. Yeah, Jagex seems to be hopelessly addicted to this digital drug, but I have seen other games where this affliction was even worse.

As I have always said, if you find yourself addicted to MTX - if you feel you "need" it to stay competitive - you probably suck as a player. Chances are good your game sucks too.
I've been putting out fire with gasoline! ^_^
