you newbs need to learn to read.

it say you can also get it though killing monsters.

so stop complaining. jagex need money to keep the game going.

Yes they can read, what they don't like is 50+ blood per spin which is buyable, and also tradeable, but yet to gain any of it in game it is a complete grind for little reward.

What people are mad about (my summary) :
Jagex used to have near on 200k members online around 5 years ago.
This was a result of more subcriptions, which are potentially more long term income for the company.
SOF is a quick money making idea, which some people will do on occasion, which is extra revenue, on top of subs. Albiet some people will spend a ton on it, which will be a minority.

Sadly the rewards for actual in-game content is going down hill, and many good items are being put into SOF. Most players in this thread are 'on the money' about these micro transactions, and i believe represent the majority. Just Jagex refuse to see the bigger picture and are probably like 'awesome amounts of cash this month from SOF'. On the flip side, they probably don't see how many customers are leaving because of lack of new in-game drops, and more Sqweel updates.
You have to remember Jagex, that you will always get new members that will know only RS for what it is now today. For every member that leaves, you probably will have no clue of the reason why, but if you did manage to keep them, and gain new members, and give content that makes players get out and skill or do cb for rewards, you will make this game a much better place. Like olddays, but with new graphics.
The bottom line is, happy rewardable content = longer term players = more subs
The Whole premise of Original RS was 3 things. Trading Game, Killing things for Drops and Skilling. It is what made the game great, lets get back to basics. Graphics are not everything, although I must admit the graphics have came a long way.
Cheers

More PARTS available on SOF and via skilling. You can get the whole set if you buy enuff spins.

Had I not paid in advance to play this game, I would be long gone.

jagex/IVP is just disgusting.

Same, I have locked in a year from last december. Once Div is done, and my subs end. I will be taking a break after near 10 years of playing. When next skill comes out, I will re-sub.

TBH I thought the micro-transactions would have ended by now, and Jagex get the picture that hardly anyone wants this.

Wtf couldnt this costume be obtainable in the ACTUAL GAME ITS SELF! Your creating all these ideas but cant come up with a way to implement them in the ******* game. THIS IS NO LONGER A FUN GAME IT IS A GOD DAMN RENTAL SERVICE> WE PAY $$ TO PLAY HOW IS THIS EVEN A GAME THIS IS MORE LIKE A CASINO EXCEPT THE REWARDS ARE PIXEL PICTURES. YOU DONT EVEN HAVE TO DO ANYTHING IN THE GAME THE ONLY WAY TO GET COOL STUFF IS BUY BUYING IT. NO STORY LINE TO ACTUALLY OBTAINING THIS. ITS GARBAGE. you know your scruples are gone When you're born with Lucifer's horns And you're from the school of Notorious, Puba, Cube And The Poor Righteous Teachers tutored my students Showed them all the blueprint and formula

All these bonus XP items should be rewards in the game itself, I know it's obtainable trough skilling but buying this **** on the SoF???!!!!! What the hell is this???? I haven't ranted about the game in a long time but what the hell??? These sets should be like lumberjack, the golden outfit and the rest of the ingame obtainable sets! Preferably with the hardness of obtaining the lumberjack set!

Ditto to the above Jagex. You should have at least gave us a way of obtaining the set without having to spin at all. Something along the lines of CoS style grind but actually possible even without free spins. At least that way the lazy people will still buy spins to get it quickly and easily. The not so lucky people will probably buy spins to finish the set when they realize they have half of it to get in less than a day and the people who can't afford spins can get it if they put enough hours in.

*sigh*
What part of "stop selling xp" is too complicated for you to understand?

More specifically in this case, all of these should have been gameplay rewards like the Lumberjack outfit. Adding these to Familiarization would have been a perfect way to revive a dead D&D. But you had to waste a perfectly good opportunity and ***** it up instead. Once you go NXT, you never go back.

Ceterum censeo Saradominem esse delendam.

What you people dont realise is as long as the small 1% keeps buying spins, SoF wont go away.

No ones asking for it to completely go away (or most aren't). We're asking for stuff like this to at least be obtainable via other methods alongside SoF if needs be, which it should.
