They're only doing these multiple promotions because players are mass quitting due to the end of combat and they are desperate.
ADMIT IT FAILGEX THE END OF COMBAT WAS A HUGE FAIL! I'M JUST GLAD THIS ACCOUNT IS A SKILLING ACCOUNT SO I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS CRAPPY FAILURE!
And yes I did try the end of combat. It sucks terribly. Abilities are overpowered, prayer is useless, the enhanced excalibur is equally useless as it has NO HEALING EFFECT WHATSOEVER. WENT THROUGH 2 SLAYER TASKS WITH IT DIDN'T HEAL ME ONCE. HELLHOUNDS ARE NOW HARDER THAN MUTATED JANDIKO MALES. DARK BEASTS HAVE THE WRONG WEAKNESS. EVERYWHERE IS MULTICOMBAT WAS THE DUMBEST PIECE OF CRAP ANYONE COULD COME UP WITH.
Please failgex. Admit your mistake. Admit that the majority of players don't want the end of combat. I can prove the majority of players don't want the end of combat because suddenly during and after that update you are doing multiple promotions in a cheap effort to keep members. HMMM GEE YOU WOULDN'T NEED TO DO THAT IF THE MAJORITY OF THE PLAYER BASE REALLY WANTED IT DUMB * * * * S.
ACCORDING TO RS WIKI
On the 1 September 2012, free to play players gathered at world 1 Falador, and pay to play players gather in world 2 Grand Exchange to protest the planned Evolution of Combat update and to request an old-school RuneScape server for Veterans. The Riot was planned, unlike many others, by a YouTube videomaker. In World 2 the Grand Exchange was temporarily muted and player could only use Quick Chat within the area for about an hour before normal chat was restored. To date, Jagex has never removed the ability to chat in game when confronted with a riot or interfered with any riot; something that makes this riot notable.
HMMM GEE THEY NEVER HAD TO REMOVE CHAT IN GAME BEFORE? SHOULD BE A GODDAMN CLUE THAT MAJORITY OF PLAYERS DIDN'T WANT THAT CRAP UPDATE!
