Many are missing the point that consumables are required for a lot of desirable training...so these pendants are better for the game than lamps that use no consumables.
Item supply goes down, demand goes up (bots hopefully get assploded in the meantime), game gets some much needed fixes.
Pendants >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lamps

I have been reading the post and how the mods have been trying to answer the best they can all our questions.
I keep seeing a lot of people rage/quit just because of sof but no once have I ever read about someone commenting about how this is a better alternative to kick the chinese farmers from our game.
Most of the bots in the game belong to them. Many people are buying 10Mg for 7 dollars or more as in real transactions. And others are paying to have their characters levels or paying hundrends to buy a phat or items from them this gold sellers.
Sof is a safer way to get what this players are buying from outside jadex. I look forward to the necklaces and other things Jadex has plan for us to make the game safer and enjoyable for us all.

Yet another SOF update. At least you are heading in the right direction with it Jagex. Now if you will please replace all lamps with pendants, turn the gp into runecoins, and the lucky armour into dragon cermional gear or queens gear I will finnaly get behind you again.

@ Dragalax: Bonus xp weekend has been cancelled.
Pendants are better then lamps because the combat/skill will have to be done, Worse then lamps because they will probably be bankable, and stack-able, which means can be used consecutively over a period of time, resulting in xp gains Fan Sites having distorted views of who did the most xp with as little wasted tick times. Making the records of xp gained pages no longer valid.
Lets not lose focus on the fact that Jagex is not only offering to sell us advantages, but encouraging an unfair advantage.
Its like this: We are playing a chess game with a computer, but the computer gives us a challenge, so we pay the computer 3 dollars to not play its best options, so we can win. That will make most people not want to play chess that way. This is what is happening to the competition of the game, and why so many people are raging, and or quitting.
If the company continues to put shareholders before the players, they may lose a substantial portion of future revenue, for immediate profit.
Keep the playing field even - Keep the competition in the game fair -
SAY NO TO BUYABLE ADVANTAGES!
I agree w/ VIper (see below). Keep all SOF and Solomon items cosmetic and fun, people will buy then with little to no in game flaming. But keep the High Scores reflecting only what actual work offers, not what credit cards can buy.

buying skills from the ge is a huge difference, back in the day you just had to buy then items from other people as well as you still have to spend the time making that money for the skills... unless you bought rsgp from someone you still had to work very hard to get those skills...
i agree with saying no to a buyable advantage, but if you want to buy purely cosmetic items, i will not be partaking but am fine if others want to...

Start updating the game. There are no good updates nowadays, Quests came out every month or every two months, now it's good if we get two in a year. seriously. And the last carnillean one was good graphically but it was very boring to play through. What about finally making a new quest for the elven lands and opening the city of Prifddinas or something instead of these solomon's general stores and sof things :X

Yes^
In the past few months there hasn't been any huge in-game updates. There have been a few quests, the Games, and the 10-year cape, but nothing really big. I may be wrong, but The Runespan was the last big update. Having a huge update with the release of the crystal city and maybe a quest to gain access would be great.
Soloman's General Store is A LOT better than the SoF because it is cosmetic.
These pendants are A LOT better than the xp lamps, but you should get rid of the SoF and make it like the mad Necklace.
Listen to your players Jagex. Hopefully a mod will read this..

I definitely agree with Annie Re, and although I haven't read every single post from her, I understand her general idea. I also agree with several players who have posted about how the rich people have the ability to buy spins, thus having a chance of receiving multiple xp lamps a day, whereas the poor community can't spend that money and feel inferior to those who can. My loyalty and respect to Jagex and Runescape began to dissipate when they began releasing updates that made the game much easier than before. As of now, I have no intention of quitting the game completely, but if this keeps up, I can't help but contemplate it. I'm not saying remove the Squeal of Fortune completely, just adjust it to make it where a player cannot gain lots of experience just from the lamps alone. It takes away the main values of the game.
I know mods don't have the time to respond to every post, but listen and consider what almost every single person here is saying.
