Can't say I didn't see this coming. This game has been steadily declining for the past few years, but I haven't seen this many people quit since they took away the wild! EoC is a huge reason why Jagex must stoop this low, but not the only reason. There is also their micro-transactions, unfair advantages, and heaps of XP they devalued along the way. I used to LOVE training, but now I can basically just stand around talking to people while I ****h my skills go up without even clicking! This is no longer a game, it's just handout after handout. Many people would have more fun with the game in F2P, at least in F2P they aren't giving you all of your XP.
I can't believe you guys messed up this bad. I didn't even know it was possible.

I think its a novel idea to reintroduce a new player base into the game by having you ( those who stay to weather EOC) bring them into the fold. I say this idea is better then having them create a commercial and lure kids into playing ( yes companies of all sorts lure kids to buy there products).

10% is not really alot of Xp.... Lets put it this way: Stand next to a clan avatar that is 6% Xp, add a clan ring to it, a pendent and the festival aura. That is way more then what is happening here. Only difference is that this is a constant for every xp gained by the person you referred.

In the end, a game should not be what is called " grinding" so they are handing you XP so you don't have to grind for it.

edit- You would think 30 days of membership would be a good thing? I mean you don't have to pay a dime to get a friend to play this game.. Time to follow an trail of Treasure.

Since the complaints on this thread have become viral. I predict no mod will longer reply to said complaints. They'll just disregard this entire thread and it's content as rant, when it is truly an outcry for change. Looks like i'll be giving my service back to blizzard entertainment once again. Might as well. This game has stooped to a level so low and disgraceful it is beyond the effort of shaking my head. I am so very dissapointed in you all jagex.

edited since a mod replied. however it wasn't regarding the suggestions and complaints. My prediction still remains legit.

I chuckled when Squeal came.

I was in tears when buyable spins and SGS came.

EoC had me in shambles, pretty much gasping for breath between laughs.


This?

JaGeX, you killed me.


They've cooked up a big turdwich for us in 2012 fellas.

SoF + SGS are the two slices of bread.
EoC was the secret sauce that gets in the small cracks and infests everything.
Refer-A-Friend is the log itself, steaming fresh. Just asking for botters to make multiple accounts and ravage the game, devaluing the hard work so many have put in.


Anything good on this sandwich? Well....

PoP was the delicious meat you didn't know was dogs and cats until they add buyable voyages/crew re-rolls.

haha...

This should be rather interesting to see how this plays out. I enjoy the new minigame, which I'd have to agree...Should of been a skill, but nevertheless it hit the game pretty hard with some new enjoyable content! Now I only log on usually to utilize my voyages, then off I go.


So this is what it really comes down to, trying to sell the game to other people and our players themselves. So an example:

-Just prior to the release of EOC, several attempts to persuade the population's view on EOC. Quite honestly, I think some balancing still needs to take place, and I enjoy the new system...along with the old.


However, I'm increasingly playing less and losing faith in Jagex. I mean...Afterall...It's just a game right? It's got to end sometime.

Jagex,

Although I love the idea of recruiting people to the game (as I do try to get my rl friends to play!). I do not agree to receiving pop-ups whilst I am playing in-game. I intensely dislike the interruptions from this recruit a friend option, especially considering that I pay to play.

Thank you,
~ Schaap :)

Yep its the new customer service ideal, as soon as anyone says something that it has a negative conotation high tail it an run. Out of sght out of mind, just let them deal with it and let the anger fester till people just start snapping on forums at others.

After anyone says anything all you hear is *crickets*
