Sorry Jagex, you're not getting any more money from me than you already do just paying to play your game. I pay to be a member and have membership benefits. That is all. I don't buy spins or Solomon store junk, and I never will. I work too hard for my money, and I refuse to spend it on useless - however cool looking - gear or items in a game.
I can justify paying $5-6 USD a month for a game I play frequently and generally enjoy, but I can't justify paying real money for these things.
I miss the days where you had to actually EARN outfits, emotes, and other extra stuff by doing a quest, random event, or holiday event. Yes, I know we still have these in game, but it seems that the amount of just random, useless stuff being thrown at us (for free or not) is growing exponentially out of control.
Yes it's fun to have these outfits and emotes, but I am NOT paying for them! I'll pay for them in game maybe, or with the Loyalty Programme, which is a result of me paying for membership (which I would be doing anyway, so it's just an extra bonus). But to charge a price for a breakdance emote? Please! Have some respect for your players.

For those people who ask people like me who are complaining, "If you hate it so much, why do you still play?!"
Well, I don't hate the entire game, just certain aspects of it, and the direction in which it's headed.
And I actually did quit for almost a year, then started playing again when I had some free time. I still pay to play because I enjoy the game to a certain extent, and it's a nice way to unwind and get away from the real world, nothing more.

As a veteran player (almost 8 years), I just thought I needed to put my 2 cents in. Whether anyone will read it, who knows.
And by the way, all of this is coming from an adult female, who works 2 jobs, has her own place, and pays all of her own bills. :)
Thank you for reading,
Buttercup

(continued...)
¤Solomon's Store¤
Do you REALLY want to know what you're doing, Jagex? You're teaching your players that it's ok to RWT. You're teaching people, "Hey, if I have enough money, I can buy anything!" People will learn that if they have enough money, they can buy all the spins and Solomon's stuff they want. Then, they will start to think, "Hm, maybe there's somewhere I can go to buy other things in Runescape, like weapons, gear, partyhats?!" Players will eventually find (if they haven't already) the RWT sites where you can buy money in game for real money, and use it, thus further ruining and cheapening the game we all love (or used to).
A lot of the people who play this game are adolescents - children and teenagers. You may not know it, but by teaching them that if they (or rather, their parents) have money, they can buy anything, they're also going to learn to apply this in real life situations. Hey, I/my parents have money, I can buy my way out of anything!
What a terrible life lesson.

Ok I guess I'm done ranting on this for now.
Thanks again for reading,

well, the only cosmetic item i would ever buy if it existed is some sort of wings that made me look like tyrael from diablo series, if wings like those existed i wouldnt mind paying $20 for them, and for all else, i quit membership when it rised in price, i was going to get membership back but when i see all those bots at yews and mining guild, the massive spamm clouds of money selling websites at GE and all these player scamming, i really dont feel like doing so, all i do now is clan wars, at least that place is bot-free XD

BOOOO!!!
This update sucks!!!
Stop making us pay for crap like that! You should just call your store the RWT store from now on, I understand the EoC will kill Runescape and you are compensating for that fact, but seriously bring some better content like a new city, new weapons, a new skill for crying out loud! Make Runescape better with the suggestions I just pointed out and you will make 100x more money than the Squeal of Fortune and the Solomon's General Store combined, there, I just gave you a million dollar answer.
