Ok usually i don't login into comment on new updates unless they are something that i have been wanting to see ingame for a long time, something like an update of worthy and fun game content, but this new SOF update is pathetic. I was a bit disappointed with clan avatars since i won't be using that, but hey that is fine some other players will. SOF double cash wow...... this is just going way to far.
I highly doubt it matters to Jagex, but i have played this game for over 8 years and i stand with my principles, principles that used to be the same as Jagex. Ugh this is just too much i look on news hoping that there is some surprise to make me look forward to the next update. But every update always has "oh wait here is more SOF or Solomon things". Honestly I have never used/bought a single spin of this SOF wheel or even opened that Solomon Shop standing by my resolve that the game need not have these micro-transactions regardless if its cosmetic the approach Jagex has taken has me very displeased...
Yet bots run rampant and the bot nuke nowhere to be seen... I believe in the Jagex Team and Like this game alot but... it's so difficult actually believing that they have the players interests as their top priority. I can't even count how many bots i have reported multiple times while i skill and i'm usually content with knowing that i achieved my skills with the spirit of the game in mind. This change from what Jagex use to be to the way its heading makes me sad in a profound way.
SOF and Solomon are just so... i've put up with the constant ads and supposed support from the community for them. But I can't honestly say that this month or past months have had truly enjoyable updates since they all seem to have this new SOF and Solomon marketing strategy. This new strategy changes how new and old players view the game in a negative manner and it just doesn't make much sense to me. Hopefully SOF won't ever have real $$ = advantage, if that day comes i would have to quit.
