It's just crap. Just some words to reassure the naive players. Also very weak that they post images of futures updates, to let us think away of how horrible this game has become. Also very weak to see how they do the botnuke now to let us restore our faith in Jagex, while the botnuke has been deferred for a half year and bots are already been back for more than a half year.
Oh, MMG also says:
"For example, we know that directly selling gold, XP or even accounts would generate between 10 to 15 times more revenue than Squeal or Solomon’s Store generates combined. However, we simply won’t do it, because we don’t believe it’s the right thing for the long-term health of the game."
This is just one big lie. The only reason why they've put the Squeal of Fortune in-game IS because gambling gives a very high revenue.
At last, the image. Also here they're 'cheating'. On the left they have fully zoomed in, while they fully zoomed out on the right. This is why the left image seems more uglier. Also funny to see there's a glitch on the minimap of the right image. It wouldn't surprise me if bloom is off on the left image, while it's on on the right image.
Tl;dr:
The post of Mod MMG is just crap
(Sorry for my bad english btw ;p, it isn't my native language)

If Micro-transactions must exist to fund the games development could you at least remove XP and money completely from the equation? Say all cosmetics in SoF and SGS? If that's not enough content maybe you could put Auras in there for those who don't want to wait for Loyalty.. just a thought but I'd prefer it than 100m cash prizes and "mega super duper" xp lamps and "Super Skilling" experience necklaces plus millions of experience for being a member. As a member I want less member's benefits regarding xp and ZERO GP and XP transfers coming from SoF and SGS, then I won't give a damn if they'r ein the game.. the problem to me is that they provide too many unfair advantages.. sure not entirely direct but denying their impact or existence is just annoying.

Remove Squeal. (or replace rewards with cosmetics, Jcoins, emotes, titles, etc)
Keep Solomon. (PURELY COSMETIC)

Voila, no more disgruntled players, no more in-game advantage for IRL wealth, etc.
And your game isn't ultimately destroyed by our disgruntledness.
Cya, I'm going to play Guild Wars 2.

"we will not directly sell gold, XP or accounts"
"I have won XP lamps and I have won gold, but I've also won other things, just today I got a gem (I forget which one) and I've had a Rune Scim in the past few days. "
- Mod Steve W

I think you might need a refresher course in English Steve...... read your own words and then try again when you have a better excuse. You quite clearly stated that you have won both XP and gold from an in-game feature which people have the option of buying increased access to.
Please explain how this doesn't equate to selling gold and xp? Perhaps my English friends have been lying to me but I'm pretty sure that words mean the same in American (and wait... isn't IVP American? yea, nice fail on saying dollars instead of pounds in MMG's letter btw) english as in England and last i checked, the word "not" doesn't mean "we will blatantly do it and deny it". It means you bloody well won't do it....

I wanted to be snarky and say something like:
"2008 called, it wants it's credibility back"
but in truth I only pay $5 a month for 24/7 access to an enormous amount of content
and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Even though they did remove the little bit about real world economics giving one an advantage in game from their code.
Even though they already sell experience via the SoF whether they admit it or not.
Even though I felt like a fool for not botting Dungeoneering when all those thousands who did using jacmob's client only received an email warning, not even a rollback.
Thanks for giving us some insight (no pun intended) and I am looking forward
to the new stuff esp html5!
