I would like to say, Jagex, that I am grateful for your statement.
Unfortunately, I cannot agree with you on all of the things you said. Mainly the Squeal of Fortune. This is a device through which, despite the sizable cost, you can indeed purchase gold with an all-but-certain possibility of a large amount of experience. This is clearly against the values you have striven to maintain. Furthermore, the Squeal of fortune and Solomon's store lack any backstory, lore, or tie in with the game. I have no other problems with the Solomon's store. Though I dislike the presence of any micro-transactions, I understand that micro-transactions that do not affect your in-game status (different animations, cosmetic items, etc.) are in fact capable of doing good, as they can fund new and interesting elements of the game.
Jagex, I would like to congratulate you on the creation of Solomon's store. As I said, I dislike micro-transactions, but you have proven that you are capable of making a non-harmful revenue generator other than membership.
I would also like to say that I will be looking forward to the anti-bot actions you promise. This will enhance the quality of my gameplay.
Lastly, I would like to encourage you to de-emphasize the Squeal of Fortune. People would rather not be reminded of it.
