I don't quite recognize why everyone is so incensed over this, its something so simple and so not a big deal at all. First of all, for everyone who is stating that Jagex is ruining itself by trying to program items in order to receive an income, has anyone even tried to consider that it could possibly be a way to either have non-members try out the membership to see if they like it or not? As for me, and I think probably 99% of members, we are members not because of these random items/xp we are given once in a blue moon, but rather because we enjoy the game, and if Jagex wants to spread that influence through harmless propaganda like this who are we to blame them? I'm a veteran of runescape and have been a member not for these fancy items that in reality will probably do nothing but produce a small amount of excitement in the game for something like 10 seconds, but because I've always liked the the game and the wide variety of things to do. As for the arguments based on prestige and economy: I am a high level player pretty much capable of killing nomad 3+ times in a row if I wanted to, if another player has difficulty doing that why not be able to instakill him? WHO CARES?! That player has now used 1 of his darts doing something difficult for him, now you who were capable of defeating him without the help of the dart are capable of using it for another purpose. On the same note, for people who have trouble prayer switching and fighting in high-pressure situations such as I am, these darts can be helpful to finish the kiln or whatever else I choose to do, and I feel as though I DO deserve it seeing as how I am maxed in all skills and am just not very strong in high-pressure situations, why should I be penalized for that? I worked hard to get nearly 99 in all combat stats. The economic complaints are some of the only valid ones in my opinion, and even then, just like others have said, what are the chances of even getting a good drop?! not 1/4. Stop complaining.
