Serious question about this quote: 'The management team and I have the heavy responsibility of ensuring the future of this incredible and unique game.'
In what way do you,management and the team see skill bars as unique?
I'm finding it hard to enjoy the new combat changes as its not what rs is about, and now you claim that you want to stay unique by doing what 99.9999% of every other mmo has?
It makes no sense and if possible i would love to know why you chose this direction when you must know it's not 'unique' at all.
Thanks.

I read through the whole wall of text and I found it hilarious. You guys say you brought in micro-payments into the game because you want to create and make runescape better. Well as you said runescape was without any kind of micro-payments for 11 years and it was doing just fine. So why the sudden need to gain money? Well, I, having played several mmorpgs better than runescape, which all in the end turned to making money only and no content, know very well where runescape is going. They used the same excuse as you are now and I for one won't be falling for it. You people are getting more than enough money from the monthly fees from all the members, and still we have to charge money for content we have a right to for being a member? What a slap in the face. Brb...mother wants to yell at me :|

Solomon's General Store isn't too much of a problem as it's mainly cosmetic and doesn't give an ingame advantage.
The squeal of fortune on the other hand is a way of selling xp in large amounts, which is more or less the same as selling gold, as a large amount of gold coins goes into most of the skills we train. This is the main reason people are not happy at the moment. Not micro transactions as such.

Thanks a lot for the reply Mod Steve, appreciate it.
My point was that many many years ago, Jagex released a post stating that they sacrificed the potential profits that micro transactions could bring to the company in favour of the game's integrity, yet here we are.
However, the post I refer to is a decade old, and it's unrealistic to expect things not to change in such a long time, so I will hope that this post will remain true.
Good Luck :)
