"What about hiding the promotions from those of us that don't want to see them? The SOF pop-up every day is annoying, the sizzling summer adverts in game were annoying (I pay for no in game ads as part of my members service so am not happy with these especially) and can we get like a seperate tab for SOF/SGS on the homepage?
Please only advertise this stuff in the lobby not in the game world."
-Hey Weesiwel
Interesting suggestions, I'll feed them on back to the team in charge of SoF. :)

Mod Zach,
The issue should have never been about maintaining the integrity of the game. That concern should never come up in the first place. It is the job of the developers to ensure that EVERY update maintanis the game's integrity. It should be a given, not some sort of extra addition to an update. Updates are no longer about benefiting players, but rather prolonging the demise of this game. When people would rather bot the game than play it, you have an issue. When 75% of the member base is lost (again) with another bot update, it will become pretty apparent that there is nowhere near the playing population that this game used to have, and that's because this game has become a shell of former self.

Thank you for posting to elucidate the specific reason why micro-transactions, albeit in a limited sense, have been added to the game.
Much of the criticism that I have read have expanded upon people's concerns that the "quick buck" scenario was something that ultimately will ruin the chances of Runescape developing in the future, and that as a result, those with access to cash would receive an unbalanced advantage to other players.
Commercial reality has been balanced with maintaining the future development and integrity of the game- and I thank you for expressing this to allay people's concerns.
So what do paying members of this game receive? Weekly updates, a team tirelessly working to improve the game, combat bots and generally working with the community to find better ways for people to enjoy playing this game. All of this for a very low price in comparison with other MMORPHs. I have played all of them- and whilst Runescape does not compete in terms of graphical quality, the constant work the Jagex team put into the above, together with the humour of some quests, incredibly vast gameplay exceed any other MMORPH.
Thank you for the post- it confirms my thoughts and I will continue playing into the longer term future because of the above.
*for once about time your team all gave themselves a pat on the back and a choccie biscuit
...now off to events...

if you have that more people working on runescape how come the updates this year have been very dull and boring?
so if you are using the money made from sof/solomon on runescape, how come the updates still stink? ever since sof was introduced the updates have been going downhill, why is that?

A well presented post and it's nice to get a response on the whole micro-transaction business. You also make the future of the game seem bright, however, I do have to question the seriousness of this post, especially where you promise not to directly sell gold, xp or accounts.
I too will record this for future use, although huge respect if this post is legitimate. Join "Pis2ols" FC for all discontinued item price checks.

Theres an entire team in charge of SoF? Is this necessary? Should it just be part of marketing instead?
Way to go Jagex, seems you will continue to churn of SoF updates once a week.
