Sure, reducing oddment-bought keys to 10 does push people
already inclined to buy keys
to buy keys. But I was more just pointing out that instant exp is/was too easy to come by. I'd like to see them do a bit of balancing on how often lamps/stars get rewarded. At least with stars you actually have to play the game. Oh and we no longer have those '75% off lamps' sales!
I took advantage of those lamp sales every time they were on, that, and the TH promos that were oddment-positive when you converted your prizes. I think I had 100k oddments at one point. It was quite funny tbh. But yeah, look at how many lvl-3 99 slayer accounts there are.
They're working on it, these things take time...
MTX doesn't bother me because I don't consider RS to be a competitive game (anymore). As soon as you make that switch, mentally, you'll start enjoying it for what it is; a casual game
- I'd say FSW was competitive though (for the most part) and I enjoyed that. Bob says:

I dont know what you guys are talking about - reduced to 10 keys?
I was recently offered 450 keys at 50% off. A lot of players dont rely on Oddments from Challenges to amass keys, and clearly there is no limit to what you are willing to pay real life cash for. I can turn around and buy another 450 immediately if I choose too.
I dont resent that. There is plenty I have started resenting, but any business needing to make money is not something I resent. Its easily understandable.
Honestly, when I got that offer it made me think the game must not be doing so good. It wasnt even a holiday or anything. The owner needs cash. Then you see less and less people logging into the game and it only reinforces that belief that the game is dying.
There are other MMOs that have shut down recently, and were arguably better than this one.
Its foolish to think its an impossibility.
Runescape has its community. Loyal players. Some of them are families that are playing for generations. Its amazing.
The Twitter community doesnt have that ability. The Reddit community doesnt have that ability. The Runescape community has proven they have that ability, yet they seem to be the first to be belittled and ignored.
When was the last time the Devs did a poll on the Runescape forums?
When was the last time they queried the playerbase using the ingame polling boothes?
Im gonna go with 2010, but thats just a guess.
Anyway, nonchalant attitudes regarding your fellow players or the possibility of RS ending are not helping anyone.
If you really dont care, Im thinking maybe you need to change that. Maybe you need to join the Runescape community too.
