If I owned the game I would put a lot more focus on non combat skills because that is what I like to train. I understand having focus on PVM but non combat needs a lot more updates than it gets because although a lot of players like PVM, not everyone is into boss fighting. Hi.

Honestly, Chinese investors are the shrewdest investing circle in the world. The ONLY reason any Chinese investor would think about sending their money outwards is to escape conviction or corruption from the Chinese government.

In Canada alone, they are ruining the housing market and leaving it in a expensive mess that no one can clean up.

The investors can't be trusted, not by us, and I hope not by you Jagex developers.

They're doing the same in Africa, I found this dated: 20th March 2016 (released today)

"One of Sierra Leone’s most successful and biggest mining company with stakes in the Port Loko District, Bombali and Tonkolili Districts is on the verge of collapse with thousands of Sierra Leoneans probably going out of employment if Shandong Iron Ore Mining, a China based company, continues to hold on to money needed for investment. The action by the China based iron ore mining company has created a state of bewilderment in the country with almost 10,000 Sierra Leoneans to be out of jobs."

It's the Shandong Hongda Mining Company that wants Jagex...

I feel for the people of Sierra Leone's but Africa and Great Britain got very different laws and government for one the Brit gov isn't nearly as corrupt as the African gov where it's standard practice to bribe.

On the same report there's this: "This is not the first time that Chinese Companies have duped the Government and people of Sierra Leone. A case in point is Kinko, another Chinese Company that was widely acclaimed by the Government and people as the savior of the Country, but turned out to be a big disappointment and left the country and Government walloping in darkness."

It's not the African Government, it's proving what Sigarde1 posted. The mining company can buy out and change/move/abandon any company they wish. They can do this in any country.

The only thing wrong with that Jagex employee work force is about 500 in size not an actual mining company. To declare war on a game many people play on and try to ruin if it is the intention of said company the people of Jagex as in us the community won't just sit back lay down and take it.

Be a few hundred of us at least that will do something about it whatever that maybe right now they haven't done anything to Jagex or our game putting in new money in the game I say give them the benefit of the doubt see what actually going to happen first and if it end up been what everyone fears go war mode.

Right now so many people just gearing up for a fight because of what they fear is going to happen when nothing might actually end up happening. People need to give people a chance maybe I know it's a big maybe they might actually listen to some of our ideas because they don't have any preconception on what they think a game should be operated.

Having no industry experience in this sector could potentially be good for us as it might give the community more power to make the changes we want.

That's the sad truth, there's nothing we can do apart from stopping our subs (I already have). When it comes to greedy corporate investors - money talks and $300m USD is way more than Jagex is actually worth.

It's definitely a scam.

Jagex, these are the people who run the gold farming sweatshops in their basements that you hate. Do you really want them owning your game?
