Firstly, to Mod Sushi Pi (on page 23), who responded to "why release this update, which you have just said isn't needed, which is CLEARLY going to cause a backlash in the RS community?"
You stated:
"We took a look at the current bank space and many players were fine with what was available, but there has been demand amongst some players for more space. The option to purchase more space allows those with a specific need to get more, without the cost being passed on to everyone."
How about instead what you do is apply the extra space to ALL accounts, thereby satisfying "those with a specific need [for more space]". Not only that, but giving it FREELY without having us pay money for it, means that NO COST is being (QUOTE): "Passed on to everyone."
Your original response did not satisfy me, and it looped around the question. Anyone who either; a) put a bit of thought into the repercussions of this update, or b) cared for their player community, could see that my solution trumps yours. The only reason why you didn't chose this option (which I'm sure you considered), is because it doesn't fatten your wallet.

Secondly, to Mod Zach (on page 22), who said...
"Sorry, I don't agree [on the fact that additional bank spaces provide an ingame advantage]. You can hold more items in your bank, yes. But there is already more than enough bank space for you to play the game at an optimal pace."
Now that may be true in some cases, but in many other cases people DON'T have enough bank spaces and are therefore almost 'required' to buy more. What I have a serious issue with is not the fact that some of my fellow players buy this additional space, it is the fact that it is indeed an advantage. You have said many times that it is not an advantage because, for example it doesnt help you "skill faster" or "suddenly pwn [you] in the wildy", and THAT argument might have some element of truth to it, but there is one thing being broken here that your company really needs to uphold. One statement...
"We feel your status in real-life shouldn’t affect your ability to be successful in RuneScape."
Now let me tell you how you've broken this... In the past your company argued that it is just costmetic items in Solomon's Rwt'ing store, and that everyone has the ability to win on the Squeel of Rwt and therefore you're status in real life isn't reeeaallllyy affecting your ability to be successful in Runescape. Now with regards to the SoF, that isn't even true because of the way you can win more xp lamps if you buy spins, but the way you've REALLY broken this is by having bank space purchaseable via the loyalty shop.
Now I don't really mind the loyalty shop, however if you earn loyalty points through recurring membership to spend on things like AURAS (which you'll admit is an advantage in game) then so be it. But what if you are saving for these aura's but really need bank space? Don't worry though, because in real life you have the means to pay extra to Solomon! Thereby not using up loyalty points, and consequently being able to buy aura's (and getting that advantage).
Continued below again...

If you don't have the money to purchase it from SGS, and therefore have to spend loyalty points, you are giving up an advantage you might have got from getting an aura, to buy this other necessity. BUT: This wouldn't have been an issue for you if you had to money to buy them both! Hence: Your status in real-life DOES affect your ability to be successful in the game. Please refute me if you can, I would love to hear from you but I suspect I will not, because responses like mine that post valid responses are often removed. -_-
Maybe if you started taking note and adjusting updates based on player feed back I would agree that "the community are being listened to".

I would like to quote directly from a Jagex Mod (though the name escapes me):
"Unknown Player: Can I gain a gameplay advantage with the new customisation system?
Jagex Mod: No, definitely not. None of the items from Solomon's General Store affect gameplay..."

"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."
