First up, its the middle of W I N T E R for half the world.
Which really adds the bleakness I feel for the future of Runescape. I'm pretty much over the game that it is becoming. The soul has gone out of it, all the quirky magic is being destroyed by commercialism.
I have no idea who is driving this shift to make RS like other games but whoever it is wants a big wake up (self edits what I really would love to say about what needs to happen to that person).
Read what the community are saying!
We dont want SoF, we dont care about Solomon's store, those things are trivial diversions. The Olympic thing would have been fun but for the killer lag. Time would have been better spent making that perform to expectation.
I feel mentally insulted that you keep serving up this brain dead trivia, and no real content. If I go I take three paying accounts with me. I pay to be entertained intelligently, not have this bemeaning trash added week after week.
Find some intelligent creative people, listen to your community and go back to doing what you did so well for the first 6 years.

I'm pretty sure the J-Mods have just come the accept the fact that their IVP work will never be met with more than 5% approval. Must suck to put that much time into programming, knowing that the better you do, the more you're going to be despised (and rightfully so) for it.

As I said earlier in this thread, it's one thing to slowly and subtly include microtransactions into the game....
But it's another thing to shove microtransactions in our faces every week, change the website's background to promote them, flash adds in our faces when we log in, value RS items at rw cash (anyone remember "a $45 dollar value" ) etc.
If you're going to introduce microtransactions (I don't want it but we can't stop it), then at least don't do it in such an obnoxious manner. Thank you

Oh and by the way check out this cool new statement posted by some company called Jagex:
"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."

I think they tried the subtle approach for awhile, tried to get players to take their side, and slowly reach where we are now. But that didn't work because this playerbase isn't full of idiots who can't see the wool being pulled over their eyes. I'm guessing that the company that took over expected this community to be clueless like the others.
Their solution? Continue as planned. Player feedback stayed poor, so they figure, hey, might as well give up on keeping players happy and implement our plans with even less obstructions now that we don't need to care about those guys!
I'm feeling a strong sense of entitlement and selfishness. Runescape means nothing to this company it seems, they've proven that they will keep hollowing it. Them playing nice was going about it one bit at a time, now they're taking chunks. That is to say, it means something to them as a quick turnaround for profit, but they don't seem to have many values beyond that.
I thought it was really obvious how bad it was going to get months ago, but subtle motives aren't to everyone. That's how they got their foothold folks, then months later they can turn your words defending it against you.

Jagex, i'm usually not the one to respond to these updates. I usually just take it, and accept that there's nothing I can do to stop these updates from happening. The amount of actual enjoyable content being added versus the amount of horrible money-grabbing updates is just sickening. I've been hooked on the game for years. The game alone is what is keeping me here, NOT this pitiful nonsense released through the SoF and SGS. However, the game is losing appeal. The more you tack on free experience that isn't even earned, the less coveted reaching goals becomes. What's the point of producing content (such as skills) if they aren't even going to be participated in? Through developing more Squeal updates, you are destroying the real content this game has caught the attention of for so many people. Why do this? I wrote a poem to express my feelings even further:
Upon the Wings of a Smoldering Fate
In dusk the once fierce dragon soars,
The midday of strength shown no more,
What was once flame now falls to ember,
What was Raktuber now Wintember.
A slow descent without rise,
The fire fades within its eyes.
Cold and still becomes its flight,
No hope left to survive the night.
Farther down the dragon falls,
Very few hear its swan song calls,
Those who do, draw around,
Watching dark image dance to ground.
On it's side the beast does lay,
Squeals of anguish have given way,
Those nearby cry for help,
Nothing in return but petty Yelps.
Four types of people surround this beast,
Those who on-look for this feast,
Other souls who could not care,
And the final ones caught with despair.
There is one more type, alone in the crowd,
On one knee bent, quiet and bowed.
This one person is accepting death,
Living out the dragon's last breath.
All good things must come to an end,
Those like him have made amends,
Because upon the wings of time,
He'll crash and burn when he dies.
