"We place immense value in our - and your - game's integrity, feedback from our community, and continually improving the game experience for all, and we have a strong track record of making decisions in this area that we know may be sub-optimal, commercially speaking, but represent our values. 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.
Equally, many of you will know our past initiatives against botting and gold farming cost us millions of players, and certainly tens of millions of dollars. I believe we are one of the few games studios in the world that prizes the integrity of the game and health of our community over commercial returns, but that’s also why we are the only game that has had multiple record-breaking awards for both longevity and global reach. Over the past 18 months, we have ploughed the majority of our revenue back into the game to guarantee its future over the decade to come. We have literally doubled the size of the RuneScape team, and we are making massive investments in technology and improved support."
Funny how soon jagex forgets. (is this why you have pet mods report news so you can say I didn't say that he / she did) and as far as feedback goes the vast majority disagree with where you are going (even in remarks made in other online forms). Makes me wander how many gold sellers are owned by jagex. You seem more interested in sof & sgs than in add bots that invade GE or all the other bots who are making money for someone btw when you lose enough irl players your gold bots will have less members to sell to you do know that? don't you?
"We place immense value in our - and your - game's integrity, feedback from our community" which feedback are you talking bout ? all of it or only 1/100
