Why are you letting the money and greed corrupt our game Jagex?
When I first started playing this game 8 years ago Jagex cared about the game and the player community so much. You would stay up until the morning hours simply working with the community on certain issues; such as bots, I remember when I would see J-Mods in game and banning as many bots as absolutely possible; now I see absolutely no attempt to ban any of them. Because they make you revenue.
You now attempt to alienate the entire F2P player base, the player base that made Runescape the game it is today, you destroyed their high scores that many players had worked purely in F2P to obtain, you cram P2P ads down their throat every single little chance you can find.
Now before SOF you always stated that you were so proud of how you would not tolerate any sort of micro-transactions for GP. Then you incorporate the SOF and realize how big a hit it is at first; because who doesn't like the possible chance of winning something cool? Then you made buying spins possible. I was purely disgusted by this. Jagex realized that they could attempt to make money off of people by exploiting us, they basically made us think that we have a chance of winning something awesome so we continue to attempt, when we run out of attempts; "Oh look I can buy more and keep trying!!".. You say that you keep updating it because of how much people use it? Of course people are going to use it, again you exploit flaws in people to get them to use it more. You want them to have a rush and use it again and again..
When I saw that article about the 200M GP reward I logged in immediately and began looking through this thread. Look at how disappointed players are. About 200 or so posts and nearly EVERY SINGLE ONE is against this. I know about MAYBE 7 or so J-Mods that are against this and have posted small messages showing their disapproval towards micro-transactions. I wish more of them were still in control of our game. They still care.

Good lord, nothing but Squeal naysayers, everywhere I look. If you've god such a blanking problem with it, then blanking quit. That's the best way not to get Jagex their money that they're after.
If I won 200m, I'd buy full Bandos, full Armadyl, the Zamorak godbook; and it'd already be a quarter of the way gone. Then I'd probably put most of the rest of it into Construction; and that was DESIGNED TO EAT MONEY. Not that I'll ever see the 200m spin anyway; so I really don't care! This is not RWT, because it's CHANCE. If you could pay for the 200m, it would be RWT. You're paying for a spin that can wind you up on 20 yew logs. I can spend 5-10 minutes getting that, and it's a lot easier than paying. I don't know WHAT is up everyone's hineyhole about this freaking wheel, but I think it's one of the most amusing things Jagex has ever done.

like everyone else is saying instead of having some IMPOSSIBLE yes is said impossible reward from an update/feature in RS that NO ONE likes why not do this for the WEEK or even 2 weeks surrounding the 200m accounts milestone
all this for the weekend of the 200m account
have a 4x or even 5x exp weekend for the actual weekend following the 200m account created for all skills
come out with a special weapon that's relatively strong to symbolize if i may the 200m+ (even tho most of them are bots and inactive accounts) member base
a super cool emote
give out some extra loyalty points
week following the 200m account
double rewards for various minigames
double xp for the WEEK
and cap it all of with the mother of all clan wars to end all clan wars
ideas...yeah you don't have them Jagex your loyal (or in some cases lack there of) players have them
LISTEN TO THEM!!!!
What i stated above would be a FAR better way to mark this epic milestone in RS history than using the Squeal of fail and is a better way to line your pockets happy members=more membership started/kept more memberships started/renewed=more money get what i'm saying keep your fan base happy they will keep paying to play this game....heck they might even try to get their friends to play with hmmmm would mean MORE MONEY!!!
Lord Darkmeyar
p.s
GET RID OF SOF IT HAS NO PLACE AT ALL IN RS!!!!!

Please don't give us anymore of this squeel ****. I dont think jagex can go 3 weeks without releasing something sof related.
If Jagex spent the amount of time fixing the game rather than making sof crap this game would be a lot better.
