"To all the people, who think jagex is letting people buy their success, NEWS FLASH, people have been real world trading since the beginning of this game. People are "always going to buy success in an online game no matter how dark and shady it seems because that's just how people are. By releasing the SoF they are indirectly hitting gold sellers hard, want to know why? Because people are starting to spend all of their money on SoF because they trust it more, I can win 200M from this for spending 10 dollars! but look at the real world traders, they offer you a low price for gold, but are you guaranteed that you will actually get this gold? You could pay 200 dollars to buy 2000000m gold but your either going to get banned or your going to get ripped off big time by the people selling you the gold. This is why this was the best idea jagex ever had. They sell things indirectly but your not guaranteed you are going to get 200m from spending 10 dollars. You can trust jagex, you won't get banned, and you won't get scammed irl by jagex because they are a legitimate company, and the only risk is chance and luck."
Yeah they FAILED for 12 years and now they want us to pay them more so we can all be level buying rwting scum who do not know anything about playing a game?
GET LOST.

@Diabetick But essentially based on luck you would reach the 200m mark or 99 mark in all skills before somebody else who played for the same length of time would training one skill at a time. Sure if they went for 200m the person training a single skill would remain higher in the hi-scores but the person using SOF unless the single skill was prayer would have more xp in total and a higher total level.

The point is that the gold sellers are not only illegal, they have been fought against by Jagex for years. Just because they now get paid instead of the gold farmers doesn't make it ok or in any way change the fact that they are doing the exact thing they have been fighting claiming they are against.

I personally don't have an issue with SoF at all. It's really a pretty good idea. I mean yeah, you can buy a ton of spins, but the chances of actually getting the 200mil is still REALLY LOW. I mean, does anyone actually know anyone that's gotten that yet?
As for SGS, that's what I'm most afraid of. In MMG's post, he says they will not sell xp or gold. What he didn't say was that they won't be selling items that are actually useful. e.g. - Godswords (or an SGS equivalent) or Rune Armour (again or the SGS equivalent). If this becomes an outlet for people to buy armor or weapons that are more than cosmetic, it REALLY compromises the integrity of the game. I don't want to see people that are able to buy items that give them good stats. Really, you should have to work to get in-game equipment that matches the work you've done.
Now as for the amount of SoF and SGS updates, yeah, they're happening a wee bit too often and are taking the place of real content updates. "10 New Epic Weapons and Shields" that are really just cosmetic skins, isn't a true, old-style Runescape content update. Content updates meant new quests, skills, minigames, visual updates, and features, but are now replaced with "Here's your chance to nab a new emote!"
I understand, though. If you need to make these updates in order to keep the game alive, please do so. I'm pretty sure I'm not ready for a life without Runescape, yet. But if SGS starts to sell any items with stats, it might start leading me down the path to get ready for a life with Runescape.
About the bots: Bots are some of the fastest evolving things in the world. I really, really like Jagex's attempts at fixing this. Don't hate them for trying.
Finally, someone posted on the first few pages that they believe there should be a new money sink for people with insane amounts of money. I whole-heartedly agree. A money sink would be nice. It could maybe even balance out the economy a little bit.
