We can increase our chances of earning the 200mil jackpot by spending real world money. We're not supposed to be able to do that. JAGEX is repeatedly offering us prizes on the SoF as an attempt to get us to buy spins. It's more than just some tiny daily bonus.

Repost:
I don't understand why so many players are not supportive of this upcoming update. I mean look, the grand prize is 200 million gold pieces. It'll approximately take more than half a year for a non-member to acquire that amount of money. What I'm trying to drive at is, it doesn't matter if someone who's a newbie in this game actually wins the grand jackpot by luck. I don't see the necessity to get jealous if a newbie were to win it whereas you didn't win anything. This update is beneficial as everyone stands a chance to strike it rich and realise their dreams. After all, life is never fair, it's not purely by sheer hard work but partially but luck. Anyway, you'll lose nothing if you didn't win anything whatsoever. Well, everyone's chances of winning the grand jackpot is equal, not unless if you're a member or have bought extra spins. I hope that Jagex will continue implementing the planned update and not be affected by players' posts or comments. :)

I feel no surprise, no rage,
No contempt nor scorn
Just depressed
Over the update this morn
Free trash for noobs and beggers!
Now it isn't hard
Just retrieve
Dear mommy's credit card!
Obvious to everyone
After a while
SoF is just
another turd in the pile!

I think it's absurd the amount of whining people make over a video game. I'm no noob myself, I've accomplished quite a lot on here through hard work and dedication, particularly pertaining to skills. First off, making it 5x the experience would be worse than 5x coins because experience in my opinion is generally harder to earn than coins and would still "be unfair for people that worked days/weeks/months/years" for experience.
With that said, this nonsense about Jagex supporting real-world trading is ridiculous. They own RuneScape and the spins, if they want to sell it for real-world money they have every right to. Real-world trading is trading real-life goods/services for virtual goods/services without the owner of the real-life goods/services or virtual goods/services approval. Jagex approves of doing this, so hence it is not real-world trading. Real-world trading is illegal, what Jagex is doing is not. And don't get all technical with me saying "oh well it's still trading something from real-life for something virtual": the matter of legality is the factor that decides, not picking apart words.
You are not forced to buy spins, play the Squeal of Fortune or play RuneScape. If something like this bothers you to the point of quitting, then unfortunately you are overly dramatic. So some level 3 gets 200m in a spin when it took you months, who cares? Stop comparing yourself to other people and play for yourself, not to better everyone else. It's a game, play RuneScape because you like the concept of the game in general (training skills, MMORPG-format, PvP, etc) and talking to friends. If someone wants to drop hundreds of dollars on spins, that's their choice. If they go bankrupt in real-life because they can't stop, that's their problem. Don't stick your nose in other people's business and work to improve yourself at this game.

It's no difference than real-life: some kids are born into wealthy families and just get all kinds of free stuff from their parents without doing any work like a $20,000 car. Meanwhile there's kids from poorer families where the kid has to work long hours a week at minimum wage to buy the same $20,000 car. Both kids got the same item, but the one had to do a lot more work for it. It's no different with spins or RuneScape. It's not fair, it's not fun but that's life.
Rather than wasting your time rioting in a world over absolutely nothing, go earn some money or train. The only thing I agree with is the over-hype of the "reaching 200m accounts" thing. Most of those accounts are just bots, gold-farmers, and people that quit years ago. That is all.
