'Promotions

Looking back, we definitely had too many promotions and giveaways in 2012. Though we carefully balanced the Squeal of Fortune, promotions like Sizzling Summer gave away too much. I think we got the Festive Aura & Winter Weekends about right, though. In 2013 we will be more cautious: these events should feel special and bring the community together, so we'll make them less frequent, more fun and ensure that they don't undermine your hard-earned achievements.'

-----------------------------------

The Damage is ALREADY DONE.

Jagex didn't care this when they wanted to jus* get every possible money they can get out of players. Them giveaways, bonuses and 'weekly special' on SoF. Got to a point where I wasn't even interested in what's on SoF that week anymore.

I really have lost motivation with this game and I'm sure there are many other old members who feel the same. I do still play but not as much as I used to and my only purpose is to finish what I started. This feels more of a job than a game I used to play for fun and the community it used to have. Although I'm still trying to max, I know there are many thousands of players who already are maxed and there is no fun in it anymore.

All this has also corrupted many players and I can assure you that once a player has decided to go for 'maxing', they pretty much looses their social side of them and basically end up no lifing to achieve the goal. All the skills are easy to do and only take do many months if you literally put all your time into it. I mean this is what Jagex is making people do now. What happened to them times when everyone used to care about each other, helping each other out and just enjoying the game as it should be?

Do as much change you want and make it even easier but in the long run people are going to max then what? They'll just be done for good and quit so you're only going to lose out. The game is already ruined but then again Jagex only cares about the quick money they make now

as for the post, I will have to see it to believe it. And for the gold farming problems, its easy to shut down a gf sweatshop but its harder to get that fat greasy nerd who make a few hundred grand off of noobs buying gold. Shut that fat nerd down and make gambling illegal. Some of the problem is gone. As far as botting most of them botting for gold so that still related to gold farming and botting for their mains. Kill the main that got it all going on and you can start eliminating that. Botters and goldfarmers are like weed and if you keep mowing them they will keep growing and multiplying. When you attack the roots you can stop the problem. Not trying to tell you what to do, but botwatch should be all over rs not sections. Bots are like roaches you spray pesticide in one section they will go where theres no pesticides.

As for eoc you didnt listen to any player feed back you only listened to sycophants who loved it until the rejuvenate nerf. You said what you said goes and either we tolerate it or get the hell off your game...customer service at its finest there. So whatever there...*rolls eyes*

To MMG and other jmods:
I have made threads which were shut down by fmods who claimed they were "tired of the bot problem" although i was offering solutions. So i really find it hard to believe you want to hear us now when in fact i highlighted that fmod twice for shutting two threads down to discuss and brainstorm ideas to help you all out. Not a single Jmod bothered to reopen and review the thread. So you didnt care then, so why bother now? If i remake those threads nothing is going to happen but the same bot loving fmods lock it up again and nothing be done about it.

So at this point i dont give a damn what you do i pretty much log in to to pop, maybe some of dom tower which im about to quit due to the buffs and op quest monster, and maybe a dungeon.

Con't as for pop i play legit and got small amts of trade goods. So by the time i get a testu piece, the bug abusers will crash the item down to below bandos prices. So im not too optimistic about that either. But i really enjoy the ships tho its something im getting really good at.

Hi, you wanted to hear what we want in and for the game, well here is my personal response to that.

Community Involvement
This is great you are hitting us players here that read the forums... what you need to do is encourage those playing in-game to read the forums. I know for the first three years of my playung the game I never looked at forums for two reasons. One, I just wanted to play the game, and secondly, I didn't understand the forums or what they meant.

You need to integrate the game and forums.

Bots & Gold Farmers
I recently opened my Private chat and found a number of old friends I'de lost along the way. I aslo encountered countless numbers of gold farmers, which I report every time.

You need to concentrate your efforts on removing bots and farmers as priority to increase the fun of the game for all.

Micro-payments
What you should have done instead of introducing SoF was made the rewards for random events more exciting and useful. Yes, I'm happy with my two "lucky dip" spins a day but there is no way I'm buying more.
As for SGS.... I have no desire to even go there since my initial look. What a complete waste (yes its my opinion and I know others love it).

Promotions
Ease up on them, I know last year was busy for the UK with Olympics, Queens Jubilee etc but please, stop bombarding us every few weeks with a new feature.

EoC
Tried this on Beta and hated it! Did the training again when it came to game, still didn't like it. I've just about got my head round the fact I need to use "abilities" in order to kill something. Now the only killing I do is for slayer, and dailys like Vine & Bork.
I think it was assumed so many had played other games with a similar format that we could all adapt so quickly. Better explaining should be put into the EoC training feature in-game. It rushes through so fast and doesn't give a full account of how to use all parts.

I've never liked updates, I liked the game the most when I started.
Never liked to be removed from the hiscores, never liked the moment the Dutch J-mods became fired and also that they weren't allowed to say the things they wanted to say, but were just allowed to say whatever their boss told them too.
Mod Baker with some number behind it was and is the saddest person I've ever heard about, I'm happy he doesn't work at Jagex any more, I wish all his actions could be undone.
Also, please allow us to post URLs on the forums, it's 2013 nowadays, not 2004.

cont.

Game Updates
Daily Challenges ~ OK. I select those I want to do.
Runespan ~ A boost to RC after many years struggling at altars, being pked trying to run the abyss and certainly beats GOP.
Bonfires ~ welcomed update for FM.
Social Slayer ~ never tried it and never hear it mentioned in game now. Maybe just a passing trend that got left aside.
Big Chinchhompa ~ great little game (if you can get in and out of it without the whole game crashng on you! See my reports in Tech Support).
QBD ~ well out of my league (even with my last instakill dart used on her I was half dead).
Potion flasks ~ great addition before Eoc. Now that pots don't seem to have the same effect are the flasks there so we can just carry more less effective potion?
Player Owned Ports ~ Great minigame to filter in between playing RS! I don't really see the reletivity of it to the game though.
Quests ~ Do we have to have Super Grandmaster quests so often? Whats wrong with above average level for the most part that can lead to better items/places? I only got though a couple of GM quests thanks to the instakill darts. There is no way I'll get my Quest Cape back now. Sadly.

Thanks for taking the time to read my reply to your post. I think you will gleen a few ideas from it in order to make 2013 My Year in RS.

I am a maxed player with still so much to do in the game. But unfortunately for me the tougher bosses and the new desert tasks have robbed me of my prized goals (my beloved quest cape and taskmaster emote). Soon i will also lose my max cape. I love runescape and chose it over WOW and other games because i could achieve goals. Yes I love a challenge but not impossible ones and for me the new bosses and quest bosses are too hard. There are lots of other people who also have problems bossing. How do i buy the best equipment if i cant make cash by bossing. So if you only fix one thing please let it be to allow people who are not "THE BEST" at combat and boss fighting to at least have some chance to continue to succeed in the game and reach their goals. This is so frustrating to me but i realise I am only 1 of many and don't expect much positive feedback so I will just keep trying and hope somewhere down the road i can gain my quest cape back.

The one update that i recon nearly every fellow PVPer wants would be the resurrection of Runescape 2 (before EOC). The EOC has created Runescape 3, and completely obliterated the pvp systems in its creation. Why not bring back a Runescape "2" Classic. Like the original Runescape Classic, this one has the exact same features before the release of EOC. It would benefit a large amount of players. The "Death of Runescape", as its known, was caused by a huge drop of players after the release of EOC. This was basically caused by the EOC update. Most PVP abilities were changed after years of construction, with a countdown timer that to most, was a Doomsday countdown. I had 180 friends, most PVPers, with about 40 on at a time. I now only see 1 or 2. Ive had to delete most as theres just a blank carcass, the remains of a PVPer. The re-release of a "Runescape 2" would be life-saving as ive thought of quitting too. The Large ammount of players that would re-join would be a groundbreaking record, and the joy that it would bring among pvpers would be nice. Some options for this would be a World or multiple worlds (again) dedicated for "Runescape 2 Classic" or maybe the same system as the classic (a privatised, seperate server with multiple worlds). Anything would be amazing, and the joy it would bring to the thousands of pvpers would be great.
