Since Jagex seems to hate facing direct statements and questions about their contradictions of their own promises and their terrible "updates" *cough SOF *cough* I'll attempt to phrase my impression of it in a law metaphor.
As with all online games, it is the players who must decide whether or not they like the direction the game is heading and the updates it produces. In this respect, the players are like a jury and the game company is the defendant.
Now, imagine a person is convicted of murder and goes to court. They take the stand to give their testimony and say, "Yes, i did kill that person. But you see that guy over there? He killed 10 people so I'm not nearly as bad. You shouldn't punish me at all because that guy over there is worse." Do you think the jury is going to acquit them? Of course not. They are still guilty regardless of what anyone else has done.
This is essentially what Jagex has done with this post. They have murdered their own rules and promises with SoF and the selling of gold and xp. Now when they are "convicted" if you will, by the players they are standing there saying, "Yea, but you see those RWT and gold farming bots over there? They're doing it on a huge scale so you shouldn't be mad at us. Why shouldn't we make some money off it too?" Though of course they dont even have the decency to actually admit that they are doing it.
The only unfortunate part of this whole scenario is that some people are actually oblivious enough to think that all will be right with the world just because Jagex has made a news post about it and over the past few years it seems that Jagex caters to these ignorant people more and more.
TO ALL JAGEX MODS WHO READ THIS: There are still some of us left who are actually intelligent and can think for ourselves. You are not fooling us with more false promises that everything will be perfect. And if this sudden desire to make complete fools of yourselves by contradicting your own rules and policies has been brought
