Well.. I'm not the kind of player that usually heads to forums to rant over every update. In fact, I've overlooked Yelps, Solomon, bots, gambling and many, many, many, many more mistakes you (Jagex + the money hungry investors) have made in recent and not so recent history of this great game.
Even so I've always found a positive side on every aspect of the game and it's mistakes. Bots? Easier access to some of those more boring materials. Gambling? I don't have to gamble, but those who want to, have the option (although personally I despise the gamblers *cough* scammers *cough*). Solomon? Nothing wrong more clothing options for those who want them (like me). Yelps.. this doesn't hurt me and if someone wants to show off their affection to the game through micro transactions, by all means.
So where am I going with all this? Before grand exchange I used to play A LOT. I was considered a high total skiller compared to my cbt lvl at the time (80+ with 1850+ total). I took a long break for personal reasons, got back to my old homeworld, found a great clan of likeminded skillers and I realized I've fallen behind on the total level development. I started once again working on it and was enjoying the game again. Then the EOC forced me to take another break. I don't like combat that much. EOC forced me to rethink every aspect of my gaming, as I had been trying to stay low combat level with high total. Now I am near maxed combat level with a decent total. Which I hate.
And then came the final blow. Logged in this morning. To my homeworld. World 48. "You must be skill level 2400 to enter this world". I'm 2134
Good riddance. I am shutting down my members, telling my friends to do so as well and find a game that has some respect for the community. Respect for those who have stood by the makers mistake after mistake. And enjoyed the game. Take away my home, you take away my joy to play.
This is Drako Hinder, for the very last time saying: I had a good run, too bad you fail.
