This game has gone downhill, I suggest you as an employee quit your job and get a real one. Your company must be a pit of darkness with no real hope for a future. The Scrimshaw dupe added trillions of GP into the economy and now you are punishing us regular players by adding a 2% tax which was a major error from your company, its a big mistake as it changed the dynamics of the game. You as a company are not responsive on forums and you are super bad at confirming any direction on the game like bonus exp was announced on twitter and not on your portal and what discontinued items there is is also put into doubt. Multiple account is also a unnecessary joke its not needed/wanted content and you don't know your customers or you lost track of them.

I've been playing this game for more than 20 years this is it. I'm quitting the game as it is also centered around Treasure hunter and pay to win. Your company is trying to scratch in as much $ in before you go down. What a waste of time in the current state of the game. Go send this to your manager please because its the leaderships to blame.

I expect this serious post to be locked up near immediately as you Jagexx company doesn't even value customer feedback positive as negative. This thread is a more negative type but there is not much positive things to say about the game currently. This is direct feedback from a long time customer. So lets see if i'm right and you don't value free speech. If this thread is removed/deleted/locked I suggest that you as a RS player really rethink your support to this game.

I'm looking forward to hearing some constructive answers from a real employee in Jagexx top management to the above questions that many others must also seek answers to.

*Yawn*

People have been talking about the imminent demise of RuneScape ever since I first started playing back in 2006.

And if you've already decided to quit anyway, as you claim, where is the incentive for anyone at Jagex to respond to you?

Things change over time, including games. So do players attitudes/preferences as they get older. Grow up and get over it.

RS3 last officially reported 18% and then 20% growth in revenues in their last 2 fiscal years. Games like this with real world, real money financial growth won't just "die" in at least a few years.

Its future will only get brighter when it cross promotes and grows with other Jagex Partner games of the like mind into uncharted territory.

Sorry to see you go amigo, but what must be must be. May all your maanas bring joy through the years. :)

1. How can you claim that this is a serious thread when you are calling for employees to lose their jobs and to get real jobs?

2. How do extra scrimshaws coming into the game mean more GP has entered the game?

3. Yes, Treasure Hunter is a big part of this game now. However, how is that a bad thing? Competitiveness in the hiscores died a long time ago. There are many other aspects of RS that Treasure Hunter doesn't affect. Are you not open to playing that content?

4. You've come to the wrong place if you expect to see comments from Jagex top management. The best you can hope for is a Jagex employed community moderator, but even those are rare to come by.

Original message details are unavailable.
same as what archaeox said, people have said the game is dying for over a decade.

Games only die when their financial performance aren't feasible.

RS3 might be "dying" in 2013, but evidently strong rebuilding efforts the first 5 years since then has lead to solid foundation and better than industry average growth the last few years.

Games only die, in real life fashion, when they aren't doing better than their peers. Fortunately, RS3 is still the product Jagex can count on for growth in 2023. As such, RS3 is not just a cash cow for Jagex, but also the pillar for growing and cross promoting their heaps of new games on the horizon.

OP has a point. Jagex gets passed around to different owners more than a football changes players during a game. The new guy doesn't like the debt the previous owner had, so they increase mtx. They eventually sell it off again because the profits weren't big enough and it repeats so on and so on. The company does get lots of turnover so yes, they are quitting and getting a real job at a studio that doesn't pay pennies.
