"more extreme challenges such as running through the wilderness."
Taken from the wiki, I'm not sure what game the person who wrote the wiki thinks they are playing but running through the wilderness is just as dangerous as running from Lumbridge to Varrock or fighting in the "Battle" (this "battle" make a mockery of the word) of Lumbridge.
This just sends out the message that September will be awful so we are putting on some random extra things so that you stay as a member. And seeing as how the last 6 months have been awful (even August if I'm honest wasn't anywhere near as good as Jagex said it would be), this month must truly be awful if this is the one chosen to have some special challenges. And not 1 person who is thinking of quitting after the summer is over will change their mind because of this, not 1.
And why do you feel the need to spit in our faces, especially this week. When you release a SOF update but no ingame content which this week would actually have needed the micro transaction's teams help and yet you kept people working on the SOF promotion instead of moving them to the more important team that worked on the ingame content that some people actually wanted.
Now you could have done this event in the summer when people had a lot of free time due to having time off of work or being on summer term break but no, just when people are starting back at school and people are returning or have returned to work, now you decide to have this.
One thing is clear and that is that you are not doing this for the community, you are doing it because maybe a few people won't unsubscribe in the next month to take part in this. No wonder the amount of members is decreasing, it was over 600k just over a month ago, you have done a great job in driving away over 60k members, over a tenth of your members.
