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.

Hey Jagex, I'll save you ever having to come up with a proper update ever again.
How about announcing new SOF sales every week? Oh wait, you already do that.

Jagex, I think the problem most of your players are having is that they have avoided gold farming for a decade(11 years) ever since the game was created, and now seeing what looks like the company they respected and defended by not botting or buying gold, incorportating updates that seem to be selling in-game things for real money makes them doubt if Jagex hasn't been playing them this whole time.
Just to sum it up, I believe the players are annoyed because they haven't bought gold, and now the company they always trusted, are selling gold. In other words, same meaning.
Cheers, Jagex.

I'd actually PAY you half my `cash' if you remove the Sara-damn, contract-breaking SoF popup ad from my game, period.
----
As long as the SoF contains more than cosmetic items - or as long as spins can be bought, I won't use it.
Given that the use of 'free' spins gets counted as support for this RWT scheme, and as an excuse for the introduction of further microtransaction schemes, I won't use the SoF.
Given that all protests, and all constructive criticism against the introduction of Jagex-sponsored RWT has been ignored, and continues to be ignored -
given that not spinning the wheel is the only feedback that counts, and how desperately Jagex tries to bribe the players into using it - and thus superficially agree to the SoF -
I will not use the SoF.
Every 'free' ticket forced on me will be destroyed.
Every 'free' spin forced on me by other ways will be ignored.
Every (contract-breaking) pop-up ad for the SoF will be clicked away.
That Jagex wastes time and resources on SoF pseudo-content updates, and lowers the number of real content updates, has already gotten me into playing other MMOs. (And not only me.)
Ignoring every criticism on the SoF, forcing it at players even more than ever before, putting more 'desirable' stuff on it won't turn me into an SoF user, and thereby a 'supporter' of Jagex' sellout.
I consider every new 'improvement' of the SoF other than the removal of tradeable items and exp lamps, or the removal of purchasable spins, as an insult: It insinuates that Runescape players can be bought into supporting the SoF. That we all are corrupt enough to accept pay-to-win schemes as a legitimate part of the game.
Put up beefeaters and fish marks, hand over billions of gp and millions of xp - I will ignore Jagex bribes just as Jagex ignores each and every critique on its sellout.
Sorry: Just for reassuring myself of my moral superiority at the cheapest price possible - I won't use the SoF.
