As long as the SoF contains more than cosmetic items - or as long as spins can be bought, I won't use it.
Given that the use of 'free' spins gets counted as support for this RWT scheme, and as an excuse for the introduction of further microtransaction schemes, I won't use the SoF.
Given that all protests, and all constructive criticism against the introduction of Jagex-sponsored RWT has been ignored, and continues to be ignored -
given that not spinning the wheel is the only feedback that counts, and how desperately Jagex tries to bribe the players into using it - and thus superficially agree to the SoF -
I will not use the SoF.
Every 'free' ticket forced on me will be destroyed.
Every 'free' spin forced on me by other ways will be ignored.
Every (contract-breaking) pop-up ad for the SoF will be clicked away.
That Jagex wastes time and resources on SoF pseudo-content updates, and lowers the number of real content updates, has already gotten me into playing other MMOs. (And not only me.)
Ignoring every criticism on the SoF, forcing it at players even more than ever before, putting more 'desirable' stuff on it won't turn me into an SoF user, and thereby a 'supporter' of Jagex' sellout.
I consider every new 'improvement' of the SoF other than the removal of tradeable items and exp lamps, or the removal of purchasable spins, as an insult: It insinuates that Runescape players can be bought into supporting the SoF. That we all are corrupt enough to accept pay-to-win schemes as a legitimate part of the game.
Put up beefeaters and fish marks, hand over billions of gp and millions of xp - I will ignore Jagex bribes just as Jagex ignores each and every critique on its sellout.
Sorry: Just for reassuring myself of my moral superiority at the cheapest price possible - I won't use the SoF.

We want to SoF gone, but Jagex keeps it and keeps making changes to it.
This game is an MMORPG and is all about fighting monsters and training your charecter.
Yet the topic of discussion is always the SoF. Everywhere on the forums there's something about the SoF.
Jagex, please listen to us; your only making matters worse by changing it.

[EDIT: A majority of all games out there sell items or such on the side, part from the special "membership", its a way for them to make more money and therefor making more profit but also possibly spending more on the game itself].
Why does so many people dislike this? I thought people liked the SoF, but I havent read on the forums much lately..
The item rewards are not THAT big so it doesnt ruin the fact of "getting it your self".
I usually win a xp lamp (~3k xp, small one), 1k coins, sometimes 5k, which you all must admit isnt much AT ALL? I mean, a couple of millions aint even that much when it comes to armor or leveling most of the skills?
How does this really inpact you at all?
I havent seen anyone with the new "special" armour, and its not tradable, so it doesnt impact the economy much except that a small decrease in those buying the "real" items?
If Im saving for a saradomin sword though this little wheel, and win 5k gp every spin, I would need to spin 200 times.. And you dont win money everytime.
And the chance of winning 10m is also very low and doesnt affect the economy neither, since people get LS drops all the time worth 10m..
Thanks and goodbye..
PS. its just a "fun" thing, it doesnt give any BIG vaule to your pockets.

I think you guys should take out the "Members Items" when the Wheel is played in a non-members worlds. I bought a few spins, and most of them landed on members items, which I could not claim because I am not a member.
Just a thought.

This is so much better than before. As the cosmetic items are untradeable, can you add them to the POH storage? Or just remove them? The end of "50 coins" has made this so much less aggravating. I am seriously liking the addition of training items as well. I don't get them that often, but it's been a pleasant surprise when I do.
Thank you.

When the ability to buy more squealz came out i purchased a $20 dollar package that included 75 spins and i did not win one single rare item! I again after the update figured "hey maybe it would be beneficial now" so i bought more squealz and over 100 spins later still nothing from a rare or even a super rare box! I think this is ridiculous and also is nothing but a lie to increase some cash flow for jagex's pocket!
