YES! THANK YOU!!
Vivec, you're simply in denial. There is no other plausible reason why someone would support their stupidity if not.

Troll all you want. I put you on the ground in your earlier thread. I supported my arguments with reason. you gave one sentence of nothing.

Well...I certainly don't think it's okay, and I have no doubt that far sketchier items will soon be for sale at Solomon's store.
I mean, if we -had- to have a microtransaction system, this would be ideal IN THEORY. That's pretty much the one redeeming quality it has, in its current form it minimizes the harm that RWTing can cause. But yeah, won't stay that way so what's it matter.

You didn't put me on the ground, you used the same recurring crap logic until I went in-game and stopped posting. You don't have squat diddly **** on me, because you're on the wrong side of the fence.

Well.....I suppose the community sees Jagex as a corrupt 12 year old who dropped out of elementary school.
I'm pretty sure because Jagex is releasing all these "cash-shop" stuff now and not back then is this game is about to "die" soon and if they don't think of a fast way to get some money its gone. RS is gone. The instant they start adding buy-able xp, just around the block this game is history. As for me, let them but only cosmetic items only because they are desperate with a cause.

God vivec, get some comprehension and logic skills please. You have no idea what you're talking about.
BR0MAT0 is pretty much spot on.
What is most chilling though is that IVP did buyout MapleStory and killed it. MapleStory had a large player base as does Runescape, but the micro-transactions that were implemented over time killed the game. This is what's happening to Runescape. The effects of such micro-transactions will show in due time.
You also can't add micro-transactions to a game that has a huge veteran player base when the game was all about fair competition by not allowing RWT and micro-transactions for the past 9 years. It will kill the game.
Micro-transactions don't work well in MMO's period.
It has not been easy for me. I started off in Lumbridge. My father gave me a small loan of a million gold coins.

@God vivec:
1) If people actually stopped buying stuff with JCoins, Jagex will stop doing stuff like this.
3) People do care about looks though. If the way you looked was so pointless in this game, then it could just be a text-based RPG where people could just be told how much they hit. Jagex knows people care about how they look, and that is why they are selling cosmetic items.
4) I just did my research and found out that the rock allows you to teleport anywhere in the world an unlimited amount of times. How is that for an ingame advantage?
5) If Jagex uses the extra money to develop more items for a store that takes up money for development, all it makes is a recursive cycle in which the money from the store will only be used to make the store bigger, which will cost money, which will make money, which will make the store bigger...etc
