4. Replace all these redicoulous skilling items and weapons - with past cosmetic items + vanity items + fish flinger tickets and maybe some other minigame tickets/currencys.
I am personally not sure if giving out past cosmetic items (phats etc.) would go down well with the people who own them right now nor how it would impact the resale economy. Regardless, I'll pass this on.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Don't think phats and rare items alike are what was meant by this statement. Just seems by stating what you have, you've created a gateway for such item to appear on the wheel.
(sorry to be so negative but its hard to give any support right now)

The most "extraordinary" thing about this announcement is that it is yet another update/promotion based off gambling and easy wins. This is null content, it adds no lore, adds no new way to play, just faster xp at what is already there - all it does is devalue what we already have.
As a replacement for BXP weekends it is also massively unfair and unbalanced. Previously everyone had equal access to the bonus xp and it was limited to a short term effect on wider RS gameplay. With this, the rich/stupid are going to massively stock up this weekend on these things and train on them for weeks. And I have no doubt that if spin sales spike because of this we will have other "lucky weekends" with xp multipliers to come in the future. Can a Jmod please confirm if there will be a cap on how many necklaces a player can have banked at a time?
I agree that these seem better than lamps, as people will actually have to play the game to use them rather than cut straight to the xp counter going up - but that is not to say it is better. Let us be very clear - IT IS JUST SLIGHTLY LESS BAD. It is basically still Jagex giving away a shedload of free xp to those who are willing to pay for it.
The regularity of these SoF updates is truly depressing.

When people do a task that makes them proud or confident in themselves, they want to return to it. They want to continue doing it. This circle creates long term response. Its quality instead of quantity.
This pendant enhances the opposite behaviour, again, assisting the real life rich, and removing the fairness aspect that laid (past tense) at the heart of runescape prior to the new CEO coming in and making all these sell out changes.
Runescape is played not just by the very rich, no- they will buy their success in game and move on. Runescape is also played by many poor people, who put vast amounts of time and effort into this game. Stop making the real life poor take second seat to the real life rich in this game and remove these buyable xp options!
To all real life rich, who choose to keep their integrity by not buying the spins, your excluded.
To all old Jagex employees, many of us feel your hearts breaking and lament with you. He's a monster. I'm so sorry for you, for all our loss.
IDK if I can end with my regular "Enjoy Gaming" anymore....
