@Edrude Firstly, I would like to say that I agree with your attitude towards the loud minority that are incredibly anti-constructive in their feedback and complaints. All of these minorities are the quickest to respond and the most likely to respond. I have never seen such a sad butt-hurt fan-base in any other game. These people are kind of like the sports fans that support their team only when they are winning, and then they disown them when they mess up. However, speaking of making up data, 198mil accounts is not near an accurate estimate of the current active players. That number is for all the years ever. I'm willing to bet that the current active player base at the moment is under 5mil, and I think that is being generous. That's of course just a guess, based upon the average less than 200 thousand members I usually see playing at any given time. Even if my estimate of 5mil is way lower than the truth (which it very well could be) I do know the current player base is nowhere near 198mil, and many people have multiple accounts, including macro bot accounts running programs to auto-skill. Maybe they accounted for the bots, I don't know. But yes, I am hoping that the loud minority is indeed the minority, because if not, we have a sad, sad fan-base on hour hands. I for one am fine with the fortune wheel, but I am against Real World Trading, and I dislike how the company is breaking their own rules with that by selling spins. All it is is Real World Trade through gambling. But it is annoying how people will state their opinion and claim everyone else's is the same. Like the combat beta for instance: on the forums I usually see about 10 positive comments to every negative, but the negatives almost always say "Jagex you are ruining the game. Noone wants this new combat crap. I'm quitting, then you'll be sorry." Well, the majority seems to like the new combat, including myself, and if people are going to rage-quit, I think the others will fill in for them.
