I have been playing RuneScape for 10 years as free to play. Now I am member... I really hate the stupid unfair "Squel of Fortune"... Even the proportion of the wheel is unfair, since the time for clicking the rare items is less space from the other items, if you see the wheel, carefully! I would call it rather - "TRY & DIE", since as much as you try to get the rares, you are deing from this game and getting angry that you cannot get some rare stuff. Today, I just bought twice 75 spins, i.e. I bought 150 spins for £ 26, just to see whether ever I can get a rare or super rare items... All I got from all the spins were some experience lamps, coins like 5000 and 1000 gp, and some noobish stuff... No matter that even I am paying and giving money to be as being a member, I cound not get even 1 rare or super-rare item from the SOF, which is really pity, and all the £ 26 have gone just like this, since I was brain-washed from the game... I am really dissapointed and would like to share my pain with everybody! Better to give all these money to a charity and UNICEF for the little children struggeling in Africa, for instance! It will be much more worth to save somebody's life and help anybody who needs help, rather than playing a game, who is just taking from you, but not giving :( I agree with everybody who is saying that everything is about the money, no body cares about the scammers in RS and even I have used so many times the report abuse, no action have been taken agains the people who pretend that they can double money or items :( I am really sad about this reality, but the good people are just below of the bad people, so we do not controll or give any commands, since this charactaristics is not in our nature and interest. Whatever goes around, comes around...!

16k posts against it were wiped out. The newer thread in existing content has been 100% ignored by jagex. Then your 'update' includes SOF?
Where are the new areas, the new content? Oh that's right this is now an online casino...

i have been playing this game for about 7 years now and sof has been about the worst update i have seen. i look at my bank and levels and think about how i earned it and then think about how some won can win it by paying for it. while i admit i do spin because i can it is completely unfair to those who have worked for what they have and do not wish to spend real money just to gain an advantage in rs. while i see how this is good in the fact for jagex to make more money-and i get that, i believe this is just an excuse to say they are making game updates because half the updates i have seen lately have been about sof. rs is a MMORPG not a gambling site-you should have to work towards a goal not buy it or win it. with that said i dont mind it being a reward such as monster drops or quest rewards or random events or minigames-something that you have to earn spins with not just get spins everyday and be able to buy them.

also i would like to add that if jagex actually did use player feedback they would see that 95% of people say that squel of fortune should be removed or have payable option taken out, so how they get numbers that say majority of people like thike this update id beyond me

I like the SOF. I have not been disappointed in the stuff i have gotten so far, i think its a good update for people who aren't to rich or who lost some money. Also it is fun to spin and have the chance to get really good rewards.

Though I have my own views of Squeal of Fortune, I will lay those aside to ask a very serious question. Is it possible that hackers have gained access to accounts though advertising for free spins? Just today in world 2 I saw ads for at least one website that stated Jagex is giving 20 free spins to members of FunOrb and Runescape.
Having nothing to lose, or so I thought, i went to the site. There, it pulled up a page exceedingly similar to the Runescape Homepage. It wanted me to click on a hyperlink which would supposedly send me to a page that would give me my free spins. So I clicked, and it brought me to a page exactly like the Runescape account login page, where it wanted my Username and Pass-word. There I paused. It seemed strange to me that I hadn't seen this update before, as I check the homepage fairly frequently. As it happened, I had another tab pulled up with the same homepage, but without the update. After refreshing multiple times, no dice. There was no article, thread, or page of any kind remotely similar to the page being advertised in-game by other players.
This leads me to believe that people attempting to hack accounts by gaining access though Squeal of Fortune free spins incentives. I urge Jagex to confirm or disprove these and look into what these sites truly do. It could be stupid paranoia, but it could be something sinister as well.
If a Forum Mod or otherwise sees this, please respond as soon as possible, as I hate to think that someone's account could be stolen or drained.
Thank You for your time.

If SOF is sooo popular with players, then why the need to cram it down our throats constantly? No other update/activity gets its own pop up on log in, a space on the tool bar and title page prominence. RS has done nothing but push push push this game on us since its inception. Now they are upping the ante with "new, better" prizes?
Why? Wasn't it the best thing ever to hit RS before that? Didn't "90% of players enjoy it" as it was before this new improvement?
SOF was a mistake, and this saturation campaign smacks of desperation.
The most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.

I could spend an hour writing a long, multiple post thread about why I don't support SoF, the change in Jagex' values over the years, and ultimately the greed that's so much more important than the game and it's players, but what's the point?
Jagex and their investors are blind with greed... you can't blame them, really, because if I bought stocks in a company I would like to see that number going up as well. For some reason, they don't seem to understand that with stuff like this it's only a matter of time until their stock decides to crash with player satisfaction.

don't be a hater. stop playing runescape if your going to complain. Jadex wanted to make changes to help the new account and old account get 99 fire making. Also, runespan It was probably added becuase there where not alot of people with 99 rune crafting or just want a better way to get 99 **** OFF
