This answers absolutely nothing, and essentially just drones on about how high and mighty Jagex thinks they are.

I think that this was really needed. I'm glad that MMG admitted that micro transactions aren't exactly popular with the player base (then again, the 90% of people enjoy SOF back fired on him pretty hard).
One thing that this didn't address, however, is the aggressive advertising and the potential dangerous precedent that some updates have places.
First it was just a little exp, then more exp, then more and more money, ect. How long until timed "super armours" are released? It's concerning, and I would have liked to see this kind of thing addressed.
Also, I would have liked to see the very aggressive advertising addressed. Will this trend continue? Will advertising die down? Will we ever get that "no ingame ads" thing we paid for?

Look, I understand what you're trying to do, but I think that the problems can be fixed pretty easily. Everything should be available through the loyalty shop like you're doing with bank space. Maybe not make it cheap through there, but it should be available. Also, leaving limited time rewards on squeal up to chance, not a great idea. Please add those rewards to loyalty shop at a later date. The problem I and many have is it being necessary to pay extra outside of members for these items. I don't care if it's available and easier to get by paying just that it's not necessary to pay.
Or, give members 500 runecoins a month. You never know, it might even get more people buying coins once they get a taste and it'll help members to be able to reconcile the problems with the microtransactions.

Good to see a newspost such as this on the homepage; it gives me faith in Jagex again :) I'm also glad that you've got the Bot Nuke coming-- That has been awaited for a long time. The Jagex Account Guardian sounds like the Security Dongle that was suggested years ago, and that sounds like a good idea for account safety. Looking forward to these updates :)

it just took you 6 months to write something about Sof that is not 100% made up.
Solomon is ok as long it is 100% cosmetic but Sof is in no way good, you are selling gold already.
