Jagex, Something to think about.
I've been a Runescape player since 2002, and I can definitely say that "Sizzling Summer" is one of the ONLY events that I will remember about Runescape 10 years from now.
I would definitely become a member more often if the high XP rewards continue. I LOVE the idea. Why didn't Jagex think of this sooner? THIS IS THE BEST IDEA RUNESCAPE HAS COME UP WITH in 10 YEARS.
Let me put it to you this way: WHY DO PEOPLE BOT? WHY DO I KNOW FRIENDS IN REAL LIFE WHO BOT? It's simple. Because it's very difficult to raise skills in a legit way. You have to spend HOURS UPON HOURS in front of the computer screen to do it. And nobody wants to waste 10 hours each day on a game, sorry to speak the truth. THIS is why, dare I say, 100% of people bot. However, Sizzling Summer and events like it have the potential to SIGNIFICANTLY reduce people's incentives to bot. THINK ABOUT THIS JAGEX!
I have played this game for 10 years, I have seen it all and I know what I'm talking about. A further example, I personally have NEVER raised even one skill to 99 because it just takes TOO LONG. Yet with help from Promissory Notes, the future of Runescape looks brighter not only for me, but also for everyone who wants to be a legit player.
Jagex, I repeat, something to think about.
