Not to be mean or anything, but this post seems to be saying...
"Yeah, uh.. sorry for micro-payments, botters, and gold spammers -- HEY LOOK AT THIS! NEW STUFF COMING! YAY!! We're not distracting you at all!"
I find it distracting (which is probably what showing the upcoming stuff was intended for... Nice.)
Ha! Made you look. :D

What's the point of new graphics for a bad game. The armour looks like Transformers. The new combat looks like Transformers. Avatars look like Transformers. They are scrapping rs for Transformers and Mod Mmg can't even keep a straight face while he pretends to troll forums.

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.

"Twin-spin fever has taken hold of Yelps and, this weekend, he’s offering up twice as many spins per purchase on selected Squeal of Fortune spin packages!
Purchase the 10, 20 or 40 spin packages between now and the end of Monday 3rd September and you’ll receive double spins! That means double the prizes – and double the chances to win big.
You can take advantage of Yelps's double spin sale by purchasing spins here or by going in-game and clicking 'Buy Spins' in the Squeal of Fortune interface. Don’t forget, this offer ends at 23:59 on Monday 3rd September (GMT), so be sure to double your spins for twice the wins!
Happy spinning!
The RuneScape Team"
How does this Adds up to your message, Mod Michelle?
Divine embrace,

ZarosElite said on page 13:
"should make a limit on how much spins each player can buy for SOF each week."
Wouldn't that idea comprimise pretty well? I'm sure it would cut down most of the rightful complaints about indirect advantage purchases on SoF. Of course, the limit itself needs to be a sensitively decided number which ensures Jagex profits and buyers don't get too many advantages. This is my most realistic opinion Otherwise, I side with the idea that SoF should be cosmetic or at least w/o xp rewards.

ok here's what i think of the matter: the SOF and SGS does look like they're trying to get some short term cash contery to what they said however it is for a rather good cause, to help jagex keep bringing us runescape however i do disapprove of the micro payments,after reading mod sushi pi's response it sounded quite satisfying rather than you must pay for it make it something like the loyalty shop where members get like 500 rune coins (or so) a month.it would make me feel like jagex wasn't just trying to get every bit of money they can from us,as for the SOF 1&2 spins is all you should really all you need per day so making spins buyable really annoyed me like i earlier stated seemed like they were trying to get some cash into their pockets,when i read that they weren't trying to get money out of it it made me disbelieve in them because if your not trying to get short term cash why do it? mod michelle said that they're not trying to undermind the intergrity of the game and "categorically" they're not heading down that path but, making people pay for stuff that could be in the loyalty shop? kinda seems like you are heading down that road. bottom line is buyable spins should be removed and general store stuff should be moved to loyalty shop it'd make me feel like jagex wasn't cheaping us out,and i bet a lot of people would agree....

Some people who posted on this thread should get over the fact that money talks in almost every aspect of our lives. IVP holding some of Jagex's shares and therefore influencing decisions is the way the economy works. Don't rage against Jagex and don't rage against IVP. If you want something done against this system, you'd have to come up with a new economic order (which nobody since Karl Marx has achieved, even far cleverer people than here on the forums).
I agree with the fact that buying spins can be used to gain an advantage in this game. But does that really affect YOUR gameplay?
I myself play this game just for fun and therefore don't care if other players have better stats than me. Neither do I care how they gained these stats even if they were botting. The reason why I still despise botters is they keep me from playing this game as I want to. (I definitely hope Optimus hits them really hard)
I'm perplexed about all those players who complain about people buying an advantage and therefore ruining the game. Ask yourselves:
What exactly do they ruin? The integrity of the game?
What would happen if this game had no integrity?
Would it change the way you played it, maybe even make you stop playing?
If you only play games with integrity because that shows your real achievements (for showing off?), you are one person to be pitied. Does this game and your in-game achievements really make up so much of what you can be proud of in your life that you have to complain so hard?
Conclusion:
If you like the update or don't really care about it, continue playing this game.
If you don't like it, there's only one thorough measure for you. Quitting this game. And since most of you complainers think that Jagex doesn't even listen to them, posting on the forums is just a waste of time.
Strange enough that I still see people on the forums who said after the release of the SoF they would quit. Either they are not consequent or not being honest or just trolling.
