@GnomeBall,
I'm not talking about specifics in the future, i mean regular updates about everything RuneScape as a whole.. Outlining issues, talking briefly about what to expect in the coming months (and years as that post also included..). And as for the bot busting update i'll believe it when i see it, but for them to realise the unrest in the community and to come out and talk about it shows at least that they were paying attention to us.

@ savvy savant
"Btw, has anyone thought that maybe Jagex might be taking their time with Bots because the sudden removal of thousands of accounts and items could have a potential backlash on the game. Maybe they're thinking of a way to stabilize the game after there removals. Just a thought. "
That wasnt a problem last year with the bot nuke so i doubt it.

Many users fail to understand that in the past RS once had millions of paying members, now we are seeing a fraction of those numbers. Costs to produce the game have increased and income has decreased, there needed to be some measure to generate further revenue.
I do not see a problem with SoF or Solomon's store and the concept of buying XP and RSGP has no merit, seeing how you need to spend a considerable amount to gain the XP users are raging over. Paying for a cosmetic items that do not effect your character is something that has been offered for years in other games and once again should not have any complaints.
The key matter of concern is that with Jagex releasing a post like this, (that fundamentally states it listens to its user base) is hypocrisy. Users have been complaining over all aspects of the upcoming EoC and Jagex are only addressing these concerns minimally.
Past and new players who enjoy the combat system love it for its simplicity. The clean interface and the 'pick-up-and-play' mechanics allows for anyone to grasp the gaming concept. I know the combat system is broken but further discussions needs to be made to come up with an alternative.
To quote Fry from Futurama
"But that's not why people [Play RS]. Clever things make people feel
stupid, and unexpected things make them feel scared."
-Fry
This is not a dig at the community, we are not all imbeciles but what has been created radically changes what has been ingrained in players for the past decade. It is going to drive players away and this time there will be not rectifying such as returning free trade and the wilderness.
I doubt that this message will be read by a mod, but I felt the need to add my two cents to this matter.

Let's all be realistic here!!!
I don't like the sof but I do buy tickets... for the extra exp not the pizza or the pies. To be honest, any exp point I gained over any player other than through skilling/combat is an advantage and not fair as the highscore table not truly reflects ones ability to play the game anymore.
If I had a million (your choice of curency here :) ) I'd be the #1 ranking player next week simply by buying sof spins.

Jagex is missing the point of why were annoyed. It's unfair other players are getting a massive advantage because of real life situations. Loads of people have quit, the game is full of bots yet Jagex is either not doing anything about it or keeping us in the dark. The squeal of fortune is completely contradicting what Jagex has done with the gold farming sites. It just seems to me that they were just eliminating competition. Solomon's store is going even worse. You can actually buy bank space now, its not even luck based! I've got absolutely got nothing against Jagex making profit but this is too far in my view. They even had the cheek to remove the key line in the RWT rules just so they could get away with it. Jagex, we dont mind Solomon's and Squeal of Fortune. Its' the REAL. WORLD. TRADING!

"Jagex made so many wrong decissions, terrible updates (such as sof) and whatever,
but guys just stop raging at Jagex for **** sake, they're trying to make up for it. "
Surely everyone has the right to complain about things they dont like.

... They dont elaborate on upcoming events and things due to the fact its in a while... they will release that information closer to the date.
Its not jagex being secretive its jagex being like every other business in the world.. its extremely normal..
The reason they dont give you too much detail is because they are not 100% certain of what will exactly be happening , so when it comes closer to the date they will have more of an understanding of what they can achieve and what will be certain in the update/event.
it is completely nothing about secrecy. all i can assume is that your quite young and dont understand this at your age.
