Now if only your argument was valid...
1. Go read the reply to your post on the other thread and perhaps you'll actually understand something rather then making a fool of yourself.
2. Yes, it's very easy for them to make a promotion like this. No, it doesn't take away from anything else they are working on. The problem is, there is nothing else they are working on!!! Long ago, as in 2005-2006ish Andrew used to promise one content update a week and he achieved this with only about 10-15 programmers. They stopped doing this as much after 2007 or so but when they returned free trade and the wildy MMG once again promised a return to that policy and for just over a year we had a content update of some sort every week of every month. Then came SoF and SGS.
Since the introduction of those we have fallen from 1 actual CONTENT update per week to one about every 4-5 weeks. They claim to have doubled their team and yet can't produce the same amount of work as Andrew's team did 6-7 years ago with less technology and less people to work with? Seems highly unlikely to anyone with the slightest bit of intelligence. That's what we take an issue with when they continue to bombard us with SoF "updates" on a weekly or even daily basis. IVP does not care about the future of the game nor about improving the game now. They will probably release everything that they currently have half done, i.e. EoC, a couple new quests, new graphics, and then there will be a veeeeery long time before we get anything new. They've done it before and they'll do it again. All they care about is lining their pockets as much and as fast as possible. And while they move on to the next game, we're stuck with the game we love in ruins.

We will not forgive, we will not forget, we will not give up no matter how you spin it.

I'm not exactly sure how you can say for sure it will be a long time for content. EoC is taking most of Jagex's time. It was announced what, month or so ago? Something as big as that to change how combat works will take a long time to get all the bugs out and get right. The fact that there's not as much content could possibly mean that they are using most of their time on that.
I'm not saying you're wrong, because what you're saying MIGHT be true. But you don't know, and neither do I. SoF and SGS are fairly new, and you used 2007 to compare them with the amount of content being released. You do realize that's 5 years ago right? The game is being run differently, and just because we used to get "actual game content" every week, doesn't mean they need to hold up to that now.
IVP will do what they want with the game, and whether you like it or not is your own problem.
