I can see why you want the GP/XP off the Squeal, as do many others. I fail to see your logic behind everything else. Soloman's Shop is purely cosmetic other than the bank space, which if I recall, WAS A SUGGESTION FROM THE COMMUNITY. I have absolutely no problem with being able to buy that extra bank space, as you are really limited as it is with all the new quests and items coming out.
RuneCoins were meant to be a micro-transaction, and will stay that way. There will never be a way to 'obtain' RuneCoins in the game, and if there is, it would be a one time event. Being able to buy spins is probably the best thing they did with the Squeal. The amount of money they generated to put back in the game is huge, thus the reason for all the updates this month.
I hope you realize, they are going to need it as well. The upcoming bot update, if like a year ago, will make them lose a lot of players. Even though these players are still bots, the memberships on the P2P accounts were still purchased. Getting rid of the bots cuts mass amounts of cash flow to go into the game, and not having a counter weight will throw off the income balance.
Is this what you want? For Jagex to get rid of the bots AND take itself down too? This community needs to realize the precautions and measures that need to be taken in order to make up for something such as that. You want the bots gone? Fine. But when Jagex creates a way to help them from losing money from the population of bots no longer paying for membership, don't complain.
This community expects too much from Jagex.
