I think Paladrons in his last paragraph has hit upon what we all want: A way to increase the number of *people* who play runescape, without giving any advantage to botters, or to people who already play runescape but are prepared to spend money to abuse the system and gain an unfair advantage.
If there can't be a system that rewards only legitimate recruiting and doesn't help botters or those seeking an advantage without actually recruiting anyone, then I think all the players would rather there was no recruit a friend program.
We all want Runescape to be successful and attract more players, but not at the expense of fairness and value for actually playing. Indeed, if Runescape was a game where fairness was the priority, that would be a basis on which we could recommend it to our friends!
In fact, I'd recommend the game for free, no reward required! Having an irl friend to play the game with is all the incentive I'd need, but I won't refer them to a game which I'm ashamed of for the way it's chased money and fake statistics and put fairness and supporting the community aside.
As this recruit a friend system stands, it can only be "successful" if success is yet again judged by the number of accounts created and/or given membership, which has nothing to do with the number of *people* who play.
But after the debacle of the 200m accounts celebrations, it seems Jagex might just consider this measure of success valid
