"We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape. If we let players start doing this, it devalues RuneScape for others. We feel your status in real-life shouldn't affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape."

^ This is what used to be in the Real World Trading rules section. They removed that part of the rule, God knows why...*sarcasm*.
This, in my humble opinion, is one of the many schemes JaGeX has brought upon their players to keep us from leaving the game, yet again.
Use your minds JaGeX. If a good 60% + don't like an update you're releasing, it would be in the game's best interest to, I don't know, NOT release it? I read through 61 pages of this exact thread, reading every single comment thoroughly, and MOST of the players agree that this update is pathetic and desperate. Release content that's enjoyable, completely remove the option to BUY SoF spins, and end this update. It's terrible.
Repost this, or some of this, or just the quote up there ^ if you disagree with this release. I sure do. JaGeX needs to listen for once. If a bunch of you just say "I hate this update" without stating a GOOD REASON why, they're NOT going to do anything. Who knows, maybe they won't do anything at all. But it's worth a try, isn't it? I don't want old RuneScape back, I just want an pay-to-PLAY MMORPG, not a pay-to-win.
PS: Riots don't help.
