If anything, 2013 could at best be said to be a mixed year for Jagex and the players.
This game has become more of a chore than anything else. What ever happened to logging in and playing at your own pace? Guthix Butterflies, World Event 1, Lumbridge Rebuildathon, World Event 2... I don't want to have to log in every single day so as to avoid missing out on things. I recently came back from a three-day vacation - that's 42k renown lost (90k for members). That's not forgetting Daily Challenges, Ports, Sinkholes, Warbands, etc, etc, etc. The good thing was that you lowered the Super September requirement to 25 days to get the full rewards.
Only three quests released this year? Of which, one was released unfinished? And two reworks, one of which was inferior to the previous version? Come on now, seriously.
Shafting your free-to-play players by turning the world map into another marketing stunt? Making the World Event unplayable by making buildings buildable only by members? Come on now, seriously.
Okay, so F2P are leeches/scum/whatever. Shafting your
paying
members? Blast from the Past? And the people who lost exp from the Summoning Spirit Gems?
(Spin buyers, lol, but still.)
Come on now, seriously.
Your terrible communication. The Lumbridge Lagathon was a mess from start to finish. Nothing was done until the event itself ended. Not a single official word was seen. Here's a
very
big hint: Keeping quiet and pretending the problem doesn't exist does
not
mean the problem disappears. And what about Hank and his clone? And what about the frequent bugs or missing spins or exp I see in the SoF forum?
(Again, lol spin buyers, but still.)
Come on now, seriously.
For ****'s sake, if part of the game is unplayable, fix it! Offer an apology! Acknowledge the situation! You may want to save face, but admitting to it would have regain a little bit of respect from the playerbase. A bit of respect is better than nothing.
