and Sertindeath, I wasn't actually playing at the time of Dungeoneering's release. So i can't say you didn't. I'm just saying, you're all still playing, the game has gone on. And nothing I said has been wrong. I believe you're all missing the point of what I'm saying. I'm by no means defending gold and exp selling. I just believe you're all overreacting about sof. You simply see this game as a perfect thing that was suppose to last forever. And as far as i'm concerned there haven't been any ill-effects of sof or sgs, so all of my claims are justified. IF things start taking a turn for the worse, or if someone actually cough up some evidence of SoF significantly impacting gameplay, then i'll retract all my statements. Everything people are saying is merely speculation. withhout proof, you're "facts" and claims are baseless. So get at me when you actually have proof of the ill-effects of any of these updates. Show me some price changes, or jumps in the highscores. Showing me nub who has pernix in his bank, but didn't get it the traditional ways. Then I'll agree with you. Then i'll protest Jagex.

@Savvy,
You need to calm down. Dungeoneering is actually a good skill, once you know how to do things. You need to realize that we cannot ignore things like Solomon's Store. RuneScape, before then, had been without any sort of extra fees inside the game, aside from SoF, and naturally players would react to in-game purchases. I personally dislike any sort of things like that. You need to stop flaming at people or you will have your posts deleted.

It is putting an impact on the game though, the community is very, very unhappy, people are quitting and once the bot nuke hits id be happy if 30k people were actually still playing tbh. So in a sense it is effecting whats left of the player base that actually puts up with bots and since youve put 200$ into the squeal of jagex I cant see any reason why youre not standing here trying to defend this obvious bs.

I haven't flamed anyone. And i agree with you. Like most of the other players on the thread, i'm simply stating my opinion about dungeoneering. I personally don't like it, but i know how to play it. The only reason i bought it up was to say that they're were plenty of other skill choices that would've been better suited. But what's done is done. Not everyone is going to be happy with a skill update. Just like i'm not happy with the runespan update. Mainly because i didn't get to use it.

Yes sir you are a moron.
So everyday when people get the rewards and the Rare items you say you never get. But in reality many Rare items have been won and Its the reason why In last Year everything but the discontinued items have dropped in price. And I don't complain about bots because in every game ever created bots are there and this wouldn't have gotten out of control if jagex toke care of it years ago. But they as always mess everything up. And to your giving us free things? The new combat update is unwanted by many players so giving us something free against are will isn't a plus and all the updates they give are not even close to rift and WOW they have giant expansion pacts that far surpass any update jagex has ever done and they are no more than 20 dollars.
So i will say this once again if your feeble mind can't make connections to simple things don't comment.
Intelligent is a plus but i'm sorry you don't even have common sense. Not all change is for the better.

"Well it's about damn time Jagex is starting to abandon Java -__- "...... did I miss something while trying to log in still to play? and as for Savvy and Gloooo their both right.
Both have good opinons, we are spoiled in some ways... but not all of us. and Gloooo is right about jagex make some wrong desisions.

Yeah, i've put *200 into sof, but I wholly believe that it wasn't worth it. Plus, it wasn't my money. If ppl give me money on credit, and i've got nothing else to buy, i just throw it on games like microsoft points, or sof. I haven't made huge profits from sof. nor huge exp gains from it either. That's the point i'm trying to make.
And I know that the community is unhappy. All i'm saying is that the actual gameplay hasn't been impacted significantly, just it's players. Which is in turn, going to eventually impact the game.

"Be happy that you have a subscription game that cost $8 a month"
Last I looked, the new gamecards cost 10$/30 days of gametime. Is it as much as WoW? no. But WoW sucks. Its absurdly over complicated gameplay at insane prices for the minimal ammount of content they provide. But having said that, In the three years that I did play WoW, I saw maybe 5? ish actual "cheaters" and no actual bots to speak of. The fees for WoW arent worth the quality of the gameplay, but the upkeep on the other hand certainly is. Jagex has never been able to effectively fight bots, and at times has even sacrificed gameplay to fight them. But even after having said that, I'd still rather pay 15$ a month for RS (so long as fun updates start rolling off the assembly line at a fair pace again) than have SoF or Solomon's in the game. I want to be able to acess everything the game has to offer with my membership.
"You're basically getting what console users have to pay for, for free. Add ons are a luxury."
...I try to refrain from being mean when I post, I really do. But... are you that blind?
Every single RuneScape member pays a monthly fee FOR CONTENT UPDATES. The idea that we pay a sub fee "just to have acess" is moronic. When you buy a console game, its yours to keep and play as you like. No additional fees. When I pay more than once for an MMO, I expect a portion of that money to go toward new updates to my game, that im continually paying for. If we were being charged "rent" just to play RuneScape, I'd never pay more than maybe 3$/monthly.

"Even Wow and Rift charge for they're updates."
WoW has the worst business model I've ever seen. They charge a monthly fee, have microtransactions, AND charge for expansion packs. Thats one of the reasons I dont play it. But again, having said that, Aside from being overly complicated IMO, and not getting content out fast enough, Blizzard has their stuff together. And their microtransactions are absolutely vanity only.
And no one really plays rift
