You guys are kind of spoiled. Have you seen the route that other games are going? Or rather, where other games are, and have been? What Jagex is doing is something that has already been done millions of times before by other games. In fact, they're doing it to a lesser extent. I personally know a person who is planning on spending $32 on 50m. or rather, i believe they already did. I spent almost $200 on sof, and i've gotten about 2m, and about 500k exp. That's it. Sure, they're selling gold and exp. I won't deny it. But they're selling it for extremely expensive prices. I have never heard of someone winning 200m on sof. I sure as hell haven't. I don't know if you've actually looked at the prices of sof, but they're pretty lame (for the most part). A lot of them expire. But wait, why would they all be summer themed and expire in december? Are they actually making an attempt to bring players back? When i heard about the 1m exp, i sure as hell jumped back on the Runescape bandwagon.
Stop complaining about how bad Runescape has gotten. Sof is a feature. It's a lottery really. And a pretty realistic one at that. The rares are rarely won, the super rares aren't won at all (ideally). I promise you, no one is getting ahead of you by buying spins on sof. No one is getting easy 99's by buying hundreds of spins. If someone wants to be a ******* and spend thousands of dollars to try and get ahead in a video game, let them! They're money goes back into the game.
I feel the same way about sgs. Who cares that they're selling bank space. I don't need any. I've been playing for years and have never worried about space unless I lost my membership. Do you think someone who has 200-300 extra bank spaces is doing any better than you are? You think all that extra space is actually getting them ahead? What do they gain from it? The bank is purely a place to store you items. If you don't need more space, then don't buy them from sgs.

Oh I don't mind Jagex providing extra bank space. I'm not even opposed to them selling it for a fee and voted that I'd be willing to pay in the poll about it. (However I think it would be better as an exclusive Loyalty Programme reward.)
But adding it to what was an "Aesthetic only" micro-transaction shop, is a bad move. It more than likely means there's more to come. SGS will become the 'direct' selling method while SoF will remain the 'indirect' one.

@savvy
Don't talk don't even mention another word. You are a disgrace and don't even realize what has happened in the game your playing.
Other games have tried this and have failed or have a way bigger player base that can take a hit from losing gamers.
Everything you said is under diluted arrogance and blind stupidity.
So when you have something to say that is intelligent please comment back
Thanks Not all change is for the better.

I mean jesus christ, you guys complain about every single update that Jagex reveals. "Oh sof update, what about actual content?!"
"Oh, giant chinchompa update, took you long enough!"
Why isn't anyone complaining about the lazy ass skill dungeoneering? There are dozens of ideas out there for skills, why dung? It's just a compilation of all of Rs's skills combined into one area with very expensive degradeable weapons.
And i've about had it with people complaining about bots. Yeah, they're annonying, we get it. But stop bitching about it everytime Jagex says they're doing something about it. Yeah, Clusterflutter didn't last very long at all. But I could've told you that it wasn't going to last. People hack. That's what they do. The only sure way of getting rid of all the bots is for Jagex Mods to personally patrol bot popular areas and be in game, banning bots one by one. This, of course, would work garrunteed (i can never remember how to spell this word...), but then they'd need either more money, or have to devote their resources in other places. Meaning updates would come less frequently.
Be happy that you have a subscription game that cost $8 a month, vs hundreds a year for games like WoW and Rift. Both of which are pretty good games from what i hear. lol. I've never seen such a ungrateful group of gamers in my life. You're basically getting what console users have to pay for, for free. Add ons are a luxury. Even Wow and Rift charge for they're updates. We're getting a whole new combat update for free! Major gamechanging updates for free! Say thank you once and a while and not complain in the very next line.

Please like mrhatn said, say something intelligent.
As for the actual post--- ++++++ 1 Glooooo nice post dude
"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."

MrHatn Clogs, i've been playing this game for 7 or so years, so I know what it was like back in the day. I believe in what Jagex is doing, so long as this is as far as it goes. The instant I see direct gold selling and exp selling, then I'll gladly join you guys and protest.
The route they are going has been gone before, and some of those games have failed. I'm not disagreeing with you. The point i was trying to make was that it should be no surprise that Jagex finally decided to do this. The fact that your comment just flamed me showed me that you don't have anything else intelligent to say. I actually know what I'm talking about. I know how the game is being affected by sof and sgs. It's making a lot of people unhappy. But beyond that, that's it. I haven't heard anyone say "I was a crummy gamer, then I bought sof spins, and now i have 2 99s and full pernix."
Stfu if you seriously think sof has ruined this game. Bots and gold farmers have killed it. simple as that.
