Thanks for at least acknowledging these as issues. We were getting so many bloody promotions during 2012 I never trained a single skill. NOT ONCE! The gigantic 1,050,000 xp lamp plus all the other promotional **** took care of any xp I needed for the entire year.

Don't do that again. -.-

And since you acknowledge the microtransactions have dominated the updates and annoy players, how about removing the SOF pop-up already? It's completely redundant with the microtransactions tab, and just serves to annoy players.

"But crucially, 2013 is about ensuring that your hard-earned legacy is respected – everything you've done and worked so hard to achieve will remain as amazing and relevant as it has ever been."

I hope you do. It's one of the big things I like about this over other MMORPG's, rather than constantly having my previous accomplishments turn to dust and my equipment sold for scrap to make way for the new, old achievements stay relevant. Tread lightly and try not to step on old quest rewards! Headcanon Haven, where everything is made up and the points don't matter.

Thank you so much for the pending plans for 2013.

I am hoping gold sellers and bots will be nothing more than a memory.
I hope flowers like dice will be rendered useless.
I hope you expand the skills to have them more integrated.
One skill should be needed for another....say like fire making levels should be required to use a stove to cook.

Please do not forget your loyal USA and Canadian members when scheduling Runefest 2013. There are so many people I would love to meet.

Please please smack the person who designs the women's gear....none of it matches anything, and none of it covers the important parts. Prove that this is not a dating site by giving us woman battle worthy gear.

Keep up the good work and keep improving!

"I agree with the Albert Einstein quote it's too bad ppl judge EoC too fast."



??????????

The quote is "Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." That has no relation to people judging the EoC too early; it's simply an admission of failure on MMG's part. They (Jagex) tried something new with the EoC and ultimately it was a huge mistake.

What's confusing about this whole situation is that he offered no plan of action for rectifying said mistake. There aren't any cute anecdotes from Albert Einstein about blindly pushing a terrible product on your customers, sadly.

Cuz seriously. Nobody is saying you have to be right all (or even most) of the time, Jagex. You never have been, and you've still managed to do quite well. Ya just need to listen to the advice of smart rich people:

"If a speculator is correct half of the time, he is hitting a good average. Even being right 3 or 4 times out of 10 should yield a person a fortune if he has the sense to cut his losses quickly on the ventures where he is wrong." - Bernard Baruch

The EoC is one of them ventures where yous wrong lol

Listening to the community feedback huh? right... Which is why he failed to mention the fact that the MAJORITY of RuneScape players, particularly members, absolutely HATE the EoC update. He failed to apologize for taking special attacks and poison away from weapons which not only took away one of the things that made all of the high-level members weapons so worth buying, but it ensured that all the 50-100+ millions of gold those weapons were once worth tanked to the point of nearly reversing all the effort put into accumulating those amounts of gold.(ofcourse i am talking strictly for the legit players who ACTUALLY earned the gold) Lastly, now those once sought after and revered weapons are laughed at and completely useless. Personally, I had purchased a Saradomin Godsword 2 years ago roughly in the middle of june for around 75million. I quit for a while because of college and furthering personal relationships. I came back to the game in September of last year to find that my godsword no longer heals or restores prayer, it was now worth roughly 15m, and the combat system was now a bad version of WoW. I am letting my subscription expired next month and have no plans of renewing it. EoC was just too much of an update for me to continue playing as I feel it has completely undermined everything I had worked for since I began playing. :(

The SOF and SGS wouldn't be "essential to the growth and prosper of Runescape" if you would actually put out content people want and asked for... Did anyone actually say they wanted the EOC? Even auras and the whole loyalty system? No, yet they were done anyway. What I DO remember seeing is people wanting a belt slot, dual wielding, new bosses, etc.

People are quitting because as a company, you are deaf to your community's wants and needs and people lose hope and faith in your abilities. You wouldn't need terrible micro transaction cover ups to compensate you own revenue loss because YOU screwed up if you still had the vast player base of years past. However people will not come back until the game is returned to the experience that it once was.

So until I visit the homepage and see the player counter go above about 90k on any given day compared to how many used to play, I want to hear nothing about the blatant lies about "growth" you enjoy spewing to cover you own mistakes.

You partnered with a company that will bleed you dry, now you accept the consequences.

RIP RS of 2006 and back...

Honestly, though, the best way to get rid of the majority of gambling is this: remove flowers and dice from the game...no one ever thought of that? The only impact on the game these two items have are encourage players to leave this game.

@Ganda1f91 lvl does effect accuracy I play on 2 accounts on thats almost maxed and an alt and I can tell a huge difference in accuracy between the 2 and they have about the same gear.

I know black demons were buffed a bit on the 14th maybe try using crystal bow, I have used it on both accts and seems to work very well. I have all but abandon my rune cbows they sit in my bank and collect dust because they wont fire decent bolts.

In one single open, honest and humble message to players, Mark Gerhard has addressed the myriad issues we have all struggled with for the last year (plus) of gameplay. Thank you sincerely for being straightforward with everyone who enjoys and cares so much about this game. It was a great read, the timing was perfect, and the content was comprehensive. What a refreshing communication with a wonderfully positive attitude - cheers!
