This is your chance now Jagex to do things right, no more shoving micro transactions and weekly promotions (which you broke your promise on) the game during the Gower's era seemed way more developed for the players benefit and not for the shareholders pockets, Yes you got rid of a lot of bots but also a lot of legitimate players down to some community destroying updates like eoc. The 07 team have far more respect from the players as everything is does in interest of the players, they won't force things to happen that they know we won't like such as treasure hunter/spins.

[...]hundreds of thousands of players that you had ran off with you're tunnel visioned EoC, I myself only came back a week ago, just to see how the [...] jagex's admitted mistake of releasing EoC, since you had taken office(yes I have been around long before you did)[.......] because $$$$ got in your way. you did not listen to the community, you twisted and manipulated the voting of EoC and you lost the majority of the games community because of your overseering actions or non actions.
and before all your fanboi's and crown kissers want to jump in and defend by calling myself a random here are my credintials.....
- when I left at EoC was #23 overall in rankings
- #50 to achieve TRIMMED competionists cape
- stepped down as deputy owner from the #1 overall clan in the game at the time (maxed clan)
- wife and myself became the games 1st irl couple to both become TRIMMED completionists cape owners
- resigned from status of being a player moderator (on good terms) that I held in high regard for many many years because the game had became something that I couldn't promote anymore
Not a random rage by far, i do wish you the best in your next adventures but am kind of hopeful now that your replacement can fix the mistakes and get runescape back to being its former popular glory.
thanks for reading - buck

I don't see any actual "credentials" here, just a bunch of achievements you had in a video game, cool and all, but it's not like you are a developer working in the industry, or have any sort of actual credential that shows you would have experience and know what people want in a video game in 2014. I don't like EOC but it is the direction RS needed to go for the future, how they applied it needed work because people were not used to that style of play.

I've been working in the industry for a couple of years, not long, but I know the business, EOC wasn't some great success, however it was needed eventually anyways. Anakin Skywalker

I saw the title and said, "Oh boy, another one." At least this time it's not a Sliske wannabe trying to deceive us about how they're solely looking for what's best. That never worked. Many, if not all, forumers predicted you'd go back on your word within a week or two, and you always did.

Sure, I can put up with bonds and Solomons as bonds don't generate cash/items from nothing, and Solomons is only (well mostly now) pay2pretty. The squeal hunter of treasure is a pain that hasn't gone anywhere despite mountains of negative feedback. Heck, it seems you enjoyed our grievance. I can understand selling items for ca$h in order to maintain upkeep to a point, but you went crazy and we've had pay2win promo almost every week ever since!

You tried showing off how big your "tank" was by insulting past employees, and telling a bot site that they won't get away with "lying to their community by saying they won't be banned" Despite the fact that an old bot site is now an rs site, and not a bot perma-banned from there.

You say you helped create communication between us and jagex, well I'm wearing my ring of visibility, but this toadstool is telling me that the communication I seek is in another website!

Feedback seems to only be taken seriously from the biggest whiners, and those with the most ad-revenue er subscribers. When will forumers have a better chance?

I hope Pips at least has some standards, and doesn't allow a ton of terror-bird droppings into the game. I hope he's not the elitist type that tries to further divide the community (lol low, mid, high-mid and high lv forums). I hope he doesn't just hire any random college student that can't clean up their mess. Most importantly, I hope he delegates more effort towards fixing this clusterhole of glitches and dead content rather than adding on to the jenga tower and praying it doesn't fall apart again.

Good-bye, and good riddance. I'm sure that line has been on repeat all day. Serenity Isle, a fun and relaxed clan. click this to see

Thus why I express my thoughts/opinion/complaints frequently. Its the only way to be heard since customer support is only good for processing payments. I've yet to see a number I can call so I can speak with a representative. Thats what I call cowardly action.

I started Runescape only on 2009.

Despite all the changes I hung on. Sometimes the change was good sometimes..
well not so good.

One thing hasn't changed, the people in the game and their commitment to community.
The only thing we really achieve in game or build is friendships. The rest is all digital data. Thank you Jagex for continuing to build community. Clans, friends lists, group skilling..These are the things that really make the game count.

I have two major things that would make the game even greater....
1 a letter postal system for those of us who constantly miss friends in game.
2 omg bundle the changes. Do we really really need something every week updated or featured or promoted? Once a month would be great. Give some of us a chance to catch our breath and really learn and enjoy new content before adding more.

I really love reading the news but the daily twerking, adjusting, featuring, new special, or new creature is really starting to wear some of us down.

Trust us to enjoy the core game. We do love it.
Best wishes Mod MMG in your new endeavor. Mod Pip good luck I am rooting for you.

Farewell, Mod MMG. I haven't always agreed with you, but I have enjoyed your time with RuneScape and I really liked you as a person. I wish you well, and I hope your successors continue this groundbreaking idea of listening to the people that play the game. Mostly. Okay, you haven't always listened, and it's still rule of the gibbering masses, but at least that's better than it was. Take care!

Sad to see you go Mark. That being said, I hope you do well and have fun with your future endeavors. I've been here since the beginning of Runescape and the years that you was CEO is when I truly saw Runescape really be shaped and molded into an awesome game.
Good luck Mark.
