^ i thought this was the future where it was all about f2p and how f2p isn't a demo?
now it is all about making content (for members).
that is nice.

if this gold farm spam and less bots in f2p then i'll be happy.
but for the moment. erm no.

They introduced micro payments to make RS better, when in fact they are just making it worse and easier to play.
Runescape was unique compared to other games, now they are trying to be like other online games which is sad.
They say that directly selling gold and xp would generate more revenue than their other updates but won't do it because they think it's not good for the game... That makes me laugh but frustrated at the same time cause although they mention not doing it directly, they are in fact doing it indirectly. They are still selling gold and xp but trying to convince you they are not with their play on words.
There are so many other things they could have done rather than give others an unfair advantage in the game if they have money to blow.
I agree with banning gold sellers, but the fact is Jagex didn't do it for their community, they did it because they can't stand the thought of others profiting off their game by selling gold when they can do it themselves. So by banning gold sellers, they gain customers with money to spend on their nonsense squeals and solomon's store stuff.
So many people will never quit no matter how bad this game gets cause in doing so they are admitting to themselves that all that time and effort was a complete waste, so they keep playing to make it seem like it's worth something, that they did not make a mistake investing so much time into it. Well, I quit and I feel good about it.

As if that was written by MMG...
These comments sum it up perfectly.

-Page 83 Mod Daezhun:
"I notice a lot of cynicism and skepticism in the comments. Hopefully these will be allayed with the Q&A sessions and future news posts/content."

Cp*l2:
"Yes, yes you should notice a lot of cynicism and skepticism in these comments. Do you know why? Because you (jagex in general not you specifically) have repeatedly lied to us, broken your promises, and are now continuing to blatantly lie to us. You go so far as to openly contradict yourself within a single post and then deny it."

Ian Peregrin:
"Every time I log in as a member, I get a pop-up ad or two.
Every month I get a bill which includes the blatant lie that members get "no ads".
Oh, and the pop-up ad is for a shop where I can buy a random amount of xp, RS gold or usually cash-able item for real cash.
And mods keep lying that Jagex will never, ever sell RS gold or xp, right here in this thread.
Jagex is lying and breaking promises on a daily basis.
And you wonder why your players turn cynic?
Get real."

This is finally an update I can get behind. Java needs to be dumped with all of the security issues they've been having lately and the fact that you're converting the game to tablets is a great! I don't know how far in the future it'll be but I'm glad you're doing it.

This problem simplified:
1. Jagex got a massive amount of income because of bots.
2. Much like governments they get used to the budget.
3. They banned all the bots.
4. They needed to continue to fuel the machine.
5. Instead of spending time on legitimate, authentic, genuine, and amazing updates with all that extra people--they thought of the SoF and Solomon's to regain lost income.
6. They took the wrong path, and we will pay the price for years to come.

They screwed up and took the easy way out...
