Ugly, Jagex, ugly. Seriously, this is just trying to plug up the holes with swamp tar. Fact is, you've already sunk the ship.

It's been said before - customer service is disgusting!

Why would I want to refer a friend? I wouldn't. Seriously -why would I? So they, like me, can get treated like a ready supply of cash instead of your greatest resource - a loyal player who (prior to the EOC debacle) actually loved and supported your game? Forget it. I have way more respect for my friends than that. I'm only hanging around until my account dies in January.

The assumptions you make about your players - ie that free subs and bonus xp will get us to do your dirty work is more a reflection of your own greed than ours.

Jagex has already proven they will not listen - they had tens of thousands of posts condemning the EOC and refused to even make a presence on the thread.

Lose your loyal players, try to make up for it with bots. Another short sighted business vision since bots won't be hanging around if it's no longer profitable.

Ok here is some disturbing batches of numbers that really needs to be addressed.

Right now there are about 1,758,917 accounts on highscores, but here is the fun part, over 1,012,236 are total level 53 or lower, these acounts all have roughly about 10k to 30k exp. I am not even counting the other hundreds of thousands of accounts that are obviously throw away accounts and you can always find all the friendly bot accounts.

I still cant say exactly what these accounts are for but if I was a betting man they are probably due to the fancy 600 million possible reward from sof, they are making 100's of thousands of free accounts with a free two week trial of members..... This is why the public hates sof, idc at all about solomans as long as it stays cosmetic but you have some serious issues with people abusing your system.

This new promotion will be no different, people will reqruit bots and not even have to risk (not like your company bans anyone anyways) their account because if worse case scenario did happen you have no liability yet your account could easily gain substantial exp.

I remember a time when you didnt have to bribe people to play this game, it was a nicer time and there were actually measures taken to address concerns. This new business model you have picked up is god awefull and with how many are leaving due to being forced into using a cb system unlike anything they have used for 10 years is rediculous.

These people have paved the way for this company to be where it is even with all they have had to put up with and yet you still bite the hand that feeds you. At this moment as much as I would like to see the game return to its former glory a small part of me wishes it to crumble so others dont have to suffer your company's failure to appreciate its community.

sighhh i wish i would have known about this update! I recently got my friend to start playing (previously addicted to angry birds lol) and she loved it and became a member. It is fun to play with people you actually know. this refer a friend update is a good idea, although some people might use it unfairly, but no matter what you do there will always be inconsiderate people up to no good (such as botters). Even in real life there are people that scam, lie, deceive. There is really nothing you can do but be a good respectable person and hope it affects the people around you.

Basicly, You shouldn't let the bad players ruin and hold you back from cool updates like this. I am just going to make up this example, it probably won't be that good, Lets say you wanted to give $5 each to some homeless people on the street, and someone sees that you are doing this and pretends to be homeless and struggling to get money from you that they do not deserve. It would not be fair to the people that actually need it/would benefit from it fairly.

@Shoot Here1
I may have read wrong, but I believe you referred to this as a "cool update"? Please correct me if I'm wrong, because surely it's a typo.
Let's see here, I've seen an excessive amount of new accounts being made because of this. I know what you're thinking, "that's all of the new members being recruited!"..Wrong. It's bots making more XP and getting free membership from new accoutns they create. It promotes unfair advantages (once again).
In other news...
Oh, did I mention it's a rip-off of promotions WoW is doing? Yea, that's right. WoW has similar updates to Runescape, yet WoW had them first? No way! That couldn't possibly mean that this game is copying other ones now. Oh well, I guess once I get some new games for my PS3, I'll be done with this game too. I only get on to say hello to a few friends now anyways. Oh and EoC is still a huge joke IMHO.
Thanks for reading!
