I don't usually post in the forums, but what the heck are you guys doing Jagex? This is like the 6th or 7th time SoF has been edited, now Solomon has joined the update party.
It's kinda funny because I dislike the BETA, but at this pace, it'll never be released because of SoF and Solomon always getting the updates. Next thing it'll be Halloween related, Thanksgiving related, and then Christmas related item updates to SoF and Solomon that only kids that don't pay for their subscriptions in the first place will beg their parents to buy for them.
I know that there are people that love cosmetics, but at least make them available as rewards to new minigames or quests, or some other content other than SoF and Solomon's General Store that you have to PAY for, to have a legitimate chance of getting the cosmetic you want (SoF case).
Pretty much now if you want new cosmetics, get ready to pay for them. What happened to the days of randoms giving new cosmetics? Even though I've never been a cosmetic person, I find it really crazy to make customers that already pay for membership, pay for something else they want.
Runescape is a game, it's going to evolve into something like a car to pay for. You make payments on your car every month, you pay for gas, oil change occasionally, tires balanced and rotated, tune ups, and if something breaks you pay to fix it. The only difference is, these are necessities to keep a car going. This is the direction I see this game going in. Eventually, to keep up with everyone else, you'll have to make micropayments.
One one last note, MAKE NEW INGAME CONTENT like a MINIGAME where you can get cosmetic rewards FOR NO EXTRA COST!
