@Mathew9R
Chances to get something... They are only somewhat common for this weekend and they will be rare after. I still haven't got queens guard and dragon ceremonial. I never had a fish mask. I missed 2 monkey hats. I havent got anything from the summer exept water balloons and food. And I have completed lots of quests this summer.
@Jagex
Why are you selling chances to win ingame advantage?
Here's a quote again:
"We did once consider selling runescape money and items in an online shop on our own site for real cash. However we decided to sacrifice that extra revenue for the good of the game, since we felt it would devalue hard-working players achievements if another player could then just buy their way past them. We don't want rich players to be able to simply buy their way to the top. This is clearly not how the game is meant to be played."

3 out of 4 Items go into the Uncommon slots, You will get them surely

Only thing that will go on the rare slot is the cone hat, Maybe you will get some free spins from skilling/killing and strike lucky. -

@Matthew "You'll get them surely" -- actually, this doesn't work like that. The probability of you getting them is upped, but the chance is still out there that you won't and many people won't get them with free spins. Remember, this is all a gamble. Even Mod Bro admitted to that.

Questions: What happens to the Sunbathe Emote after the sizzling summer ends? That's an emote, it should be dealt with correctly and should be available to all paying members at all times....shouldn't it?
If you've unlocked the emote by winning it on the wheel it will stay with you permanently.
Why is the duration to get these items always so short? At least give us a full week breather.
The four new items just released, plus the earlier summer items, will be on the wheel until the end of the summer season, which runs through to the end of September.
Again what happens when the summer ends? Where do these items go, can we never get them again?
We currently don't have any plans for them after the summer. Everyone who has won an item gets to keep it, but they will be removed as prizes on the wheel.

Majority people hate it, and it only get used so much because u offer it for free daily.

It might be all a gamble but with all them free spins, You are bound to at least get something

And you don't have to buy any spins too.
EDIT: I once hated spins but I have learnt to deal with it, Least it's not effecting the way I play (But spins should really not be buy-able to be fair) -

Love how the jmods only respond to the positive/neutral comments surrounding SOF. Since there's one actually reading this thread I might as well pose the question; Why are such a vast amount of updates this year micro-transaction related, yet we lack content updates - suggesting this added revenue is not being put to good use?

I honestly just want the capes/rares/costumes and valuables (plus lots of moneh) from the squeal of fortune! ;D
(And Pendants+Prized Pendants, they're super collectable)

P.S Jagex, you guys should make the uncharged pendants and prized pendants become tradeable once they're off the squeal of fortune, coz they're pretty good-looking, and could become a new breed of rare! ;D
Just like the party hats, santa hats, halloween masks, pumpkins, half full jugs of wine and you've already done fish masks, which are soon to be come veryy expensive :p
(even more than now) xD If you can't be a pencil to write anyone's happiness, then try to be a nice eraser to remove someone's sadness.

@Mod Timbo's
"We want to give people options on how they choose to support RuneScape. Though some people would prefer to pay more for membership, some people much prefer buying the occasional optional cosmetic items or lucky-dip prizes from the SoF. Some people prefer not to spend any money and not to buy membership! The purchases directly go towards the development of the game, the same way an increased membership fee would, except without it being a requirement for anyone.
When someone buys content from Solomon's General Store, they are supporting the game in a very direct manner and helping us keep the membership cost at its current level."
If I'm not mistaken the price is up to what $8 USD now. It goes up about $0.50 a yr or so? With all the SoF, solomon, etc can we see something like a promise the membership price won't increase anymore for at least 2 or 3 yrs then?

You re giving too many things away!!!! People use to have to work for things in this game. Now you have made things way too easy. Get rid of this SOF crap and give us a game back.
