Mystee Dawn - Yep, you can definitely convert lamps!
Lone Labrys - Thanks for the suggestions.
Some general answers from me (and I'll try to get some further answers/opinions on this as well):
Bots - We're working on it. Hopefully we'll have more information about this soon but I can't give you an ETA at the moment. It's definitely an issue that we are aware of and are focusing our energy on. ICU are a secretive bunch, but maybe we can get some more info out of them shortly.
Sof & Solomon - I see both of these systems as additional ways people can support Jagex and RuneScape while getting something back for it. Previously, membership was the only way to do so. Now, you can support us in any way you choose. Including not spending a single penny by playing the game for free! People may not like that others are spending money on cosmetic items or spins, but the fact is that lots of people are using both Solomon's Store and SoF. (Both for free and paying for them.) What some might see as 'pushing', we see as adjusting, balancing and changing for the better. You may not like these updates, but there is a large cross-section of the community who do even though they may not frequent the forums or feel like sharing their opinion publicly. This doesn't invalidate contrary opinions but it is important to look at not only what is being said, but what is being done in-game.
RWT - Any money we make off Solomon's Store and SoF goes directly back to us. It is as much real world trading as membership and selling t-shirts are.
I'll definitely pass this feedback on and see if we can get a few more opinions and replies.

Yet again...
You know, the solomon updates are good, for the most part.
SoF? Not so much. Actually, not at all. Sadly, you (IVP) seem determined to keep it, buyable spins and all.

Edit:
"What some might see as 'pushing', we see as adjusting, balancing and changing for the better."
....you're kidding right? You're pushing sof. You're advertising it. Double money is a temporary advertisement, not an adjustment or a change for the better!

Hmm, Jagex, you seem to want to run all the older players out of the game.. You actually think the newer people who replace us are going to want to play, lets think of this, the reason why this game is so popular is "word of mouth" how do you expect this game not to turn to **** if thats all people are talking about it? On another note, on the videos you posted on your runescape youtube account, you said that this game would be nothing without the players, yea? Well it seems like you could care less about our opinions considering above 50% of the player base doesn't want this new combat ****, not to mention the other 50% are bots.

Hahaha. The sound of Jagex laughing all the way to the bank as they rake in the money from selling spins, which is now basically selling GP.
We need ways to remove GP from the game though too, otherwise it will just be mass inflation. How about letting players spend GP to get spins, loyalty points, or dungeon tokens or something?
The RWT gold sellers must hate this update, because Jagex is getting the money from the gold buyers instead of the RWT gold sellers getting the money.
The only good thing about this update is if it hurts the RWT cheaters, since at least Jagex can use the money to improve the game maybe, the RWT gold sellers don't ever improve the game.
Its obvious the RWT players are not going away, there will always be people willing to pay for an advantage, so I'd rather Jagex get the money.
Are we ever going to get an auction system so we can sell our items for GP in game to the highest bidder, or try to bid and get things cheaper?
Can we expect Jagex to crack down on spambots who PM us please? Why not limit how many people someone can PM in a short time, or put a total level minimum to be allowed to PM anyone? This would reduce the throwaway accounts ability to spam by a lot. Obviously they would then have to spend more time on each account to get the levels, slowing them down. Turning PM off won't work because there are reasons we have it on.
I've realised the SoF isn't going away, so maybe add dungeoneering tokens to the wheel, or lucky chaotics. The dungeoneering level will still be required to use them.
Also maybe add free spins to hunting implings.
Thanks. Hi.

The queen's guard and dragon ceremonial are too hard to win, and the monkey items I barely got any. Players don't like having limited time things they can never get again if it is so hard to get them, except tradeable rares maybe.
Maybe make sure cosmetic clothing is easier to win, and retrievable from Diango.
Remember, every time something is added to the SoF, everything else becomes harder to win. Hi.

This is sad......More promotion to buy spins and memberships. When will you learn that microtransactions don't belong in the game Jagex? You can say that the money goes back to you and that's all well and good.....But players can still benefit more than others if they get these 400m spins and stuff which you *USED* to be against.....

Well I'mma enjoy rs until eoc releases then I'm simply quitting with the masses of others. Hope you make enough money to survive a while through eoc.
