I have some solutions to everyone's anger
It is only cosmetic, playing the regular game and obtaining awesome gear is suitable for showing off and, personally, I prefer the look of tetsu armor over any promotion armor I've seen (really want to get 90 herb for it)
Old School Runescape is free at least until the 6 month observation period is over to people with membership (gold members got a discounted price on membership, so they also got help to play OSRS), and there are no cosmetic armors on it, so you can ignore all these updates and focus on what matters
Play RS as I have, taking advantage of the free components of these updates while continuing to play as you always have (free spins, loyalty points for auras, discounted membership price for old members)
I do wish that Jagex released new quests and areas of the game more often, but I can understand that with RS3 coming, they would not wish to work twice as long to make sure new content works in both the live game and RS3. Thank you for the new skills, and offering a hint at one of them, coming in RS3, and if it isn't too much to ask, do you think you could release one of the upcoming quests with the full release? Also, are the teams for SGS, Squeal, and prepay card promotions, and the team for new content and quests seperate? I would like to know if the newer quests are harder/longer to develop or if all these promotions are cutting into development time. If nothing else, I still should get my old maxed barb assault rank, fighter hat, and fighter torso on OSRS that I could work on while the new updates are being prepared. Thanks for any questions you could answer and I hope I calmed a few people upset over the current difficulties in RuneScape..
