I know I'm going to get a lot of flame for this message, but here goes:
If Gold Members looked at the Terms and Condition and the details of what the package included, no where does it say 'you are entitled to
every
future item that comes out'. What is included is
12 months of membership at a DISCOUNTED price, 10% off of Solomon's (like any other member, honestly), Paladin armour, 3 daily spins, 2013 priority Beta access, 2,000 Runecoins for free, various cosmetic items from 2012, a newsletter, and an entry into the JaGex HQ drawing
.
Altogether, this is a one-time payment of *74.95, whereas it could have easily been $95.40 for the 12 months of membership and $49.99 for the 2,000 Runecoins. In total, this is $145.39, and you, the Gold Member, has ended up
saving
*70.44.
While I disagree with JaGex on many things, I don't with this. In conclusion, JaGex has every right to deny you the ability to 'just have' the Aurora armour for free. I am a Gold Member, and I can't believe everyone expects
more
when they've already received such a huge discount and deal. If I want the armour, I
will
buy it on my own.
