Say thanks to your fellow players.
The reason they have chosen to do this is because there is solid proof that players are still buying spins. So, look to your fellow players that have bought spins and rant to them.
Flower games is proof that players do like to gamble regardless of winning something every time or losing any certain amount of GP. Have to give thanks to those whom host them too, for showing Jagex this true player info.
I have seen several post on players spending Irl $$ just to gain items on the wheel.
Now, by demand of the players buying gold from the gold farm sites > or else they would not exist > Jagex might as well have a chance at it for a short while too.
If players do decide to buy spins just for this chance to gain 200mil GP, then the players then make the decision for Jagex to go ahead and sell GP.
Where there is demand - there is someone willing to supply it.
So, thank you fellow players for allowing such things to exist. :@
Tbh, this looks like a transition point for the game.
Players buy spins, that is the truth.
Players that hate it will quit. This makes room for all other players from different games that already use this Micro-transaction to then join Rs.
Jagex has the only Browser game of this kinda and is still different from many of the downloaded games or disc games.
New clientele is making this game what it is slowly becoming now.
Also .....last time announcements were made about account numbers....didn't a couple main people sell their stocks, changing the game , and didn't many J-mods quit?

I expected a cool community event - or a Bonus XP Weekend, then you manage to disappoint me once again with another Squeal of Fortune update...Not the way I wanted to celebrate 200M accounts milestone. I think you're taking the Squeal of Fortune too far; At first you could win non-tradables, and that was okay. But now you can win your way into success with both XP Lamps & 200M coins? I wish I had that opportunity when I first started playing RuneScape. Sure it's uncommon to win the 200M prize, but it's possible. I'm just disappointed.

When i got hacked and lost my tiny 17mil which was a lot of gold to me, i was told this:
'yes we can see that your account has been accessed by someone else and items taken but we will not return your items because in doing so would unbalance the economy by adding extra gold'
so by this policy you shouldn't even have the squeal of fortune at all let alone these big gold jackpots.
Lets see some more ****isitancy in the way you manage your policies or give me my god damn gold back please.

As if people needed more proof...
I've said it before, I'll say it again. The Wheel isn't going anywhere, kids. So, you have two choices: you adapt or you don't. Ranting here on the forums isn't going to change anything; if this latest addition doesn't prove that to you, then I don't know what to tell you.
Not happy about the Wheel? Quit. Speaking with your wallet is the only language that will translate.
But don't continue to play and come on the forums and yell and hope for change, and then once again be morally outraged when more things like this are added. This is only going to continue.

I hope Jagex uses this thread to realise the potential that could have been. A huge community event would have served much higher purpose and appeal.
Two Hundred Million account is a massive milestone. Regardless of the percentage of bots or single owner. This event should be celebrated in a traditional Runescape way with an event involving Jmods and others alike.
But alas, they have decided that this is a great opportunity to shove another marketing campaign down our throats. I would even call it marketing... And the fact the 200m reward is permanent now? What a joke that is? Was it not said somewhere in these very forums that the SOF was heavily tested and ridiculed before release to ensure that the reward would NOT affect the community or the market? With 200m coming into the game everyday now, the game's market will surely crash.
Way to go Jagex. Killing the game one more step at a time.
I'd like to add everything up until this I've seen as something that is good for the long term of the games health. I.E More players and a higher revenue from spins. Good concept, bad execution. 200m is a joke and if your aren't willing to remove it from the wheel, at least make it a limited time offer this weekend only.

@Autumnshroud
But you seem to forget, The Mature age group are not Ragequitters, We Veterans just want a say in what happens.
@Thee Ace

why should "veterans" get more say than new players? the membership price is the same for both so go figure... also if everyone who says they dont like the squeal of fortune didnt use it we wouldnt have it anymore but because everyone used it even when they "didnt like it" because using 2 spins is sooooo much quicker than clicking the cross isnt it guys well done community you have made your own problem once again
