Hey Jaggex, I know this has been posted many times before but I feel the need to weight my voice in also.
I believe the current Solomons general store alienates and cuts out a part of the user-base, the part that doesn't have a lot of disposable income. I feel many prices are out of touch, and the amount of coins things require are very cruel, like selling 200 coins but having outfits cost 219? That is just... Well its mean.
I think the only solution to this is that you start giving members a few rune-coins each month, at least giving them the chance to save up for the things they want... the only other solution I can think of is going the route of a recently released very large and quite popular mmo and make the coins tradeable but you have said you are not interested in doing this...
Whatever you do, I do have faith in your decisions on the future of the game. I do admit that I am worried about EOC, more so the changes to weapons and the transition to a more complicated combat system.... but again, I am sure you can working things out.
There is two other major concern I have though... Both of which are community related.
I think we all have noticed the diminishing number of player moderators... this lack of them as of late has left the wonderful game you have created, ruined by a few. I do believe this is something you need to really look into and think about, though I am sure with bots gone your abuse reporting system will be much more manageable for you than it is currently. As you can see with your magical powers... I send in a lot of abuse reports a day. Most don't get answered.
Now my second concern is of course on many peoples lips, Gambling... How it has gotten as bad as it has is beyond me... but the victims to this very unethical and immoral behaviour are minors that don't understand the consequences of Gambling... and I think that's what concerns me most.
I think you get where I am coming from, at least I hope....
