Like the SoF and the additional spins for members, this is just another attempt to get more F2P to commit to P2P. Its these little updates like "buy-able spins" and "flaming skulls" that reassure me that your company is avaricious for money, and you neglect long term clients you have, like myself.
Yes, I understand there are people who have payed for the game for years and seeing my status is F2P its difficult to tell how long I have played the game for. Since 2001, the game has gone through ups and downs, yet the last year has been the worst yet.
Nobody at the Jagex will say how much they miss all the P2P bots. From the gaming perspective, justice is meagerly served (with bots making their triumphant comeback), but from the company's hit on profit, this is the insipid attempt to gain what was lost.
Good update idea, but a terrible mode of its inclusion into the game. From this update, its safe to say you have angered a VERY large portion of your long term committed players. The originals.
