I agree with your comments. The new business plan that Jagex has adopted is for "fast money", not long term customers.
I agree a non-EOC world, would encourage me to renew membership, but I am losing confidence in the game due to the new policies that Jagex seems to follow in regard to the game. They intentionally have removed equalities in non-member skills between the member and non-member accounts. This is especially noticeable in combat. Anyone that has not noticed is not paying attention or not telling the truth.
Too many changes have been made to the game to enable players to purchase experience/levels from Jagex for money. This tarnishes the game and makes it clear that the new strategy is money first, money second, and make heavy-handed, poorly considered changed that encourage the newbies to shovel in more money.
