The conclusion to my responses to your flawed arguments against Jagex and their RWT "Schemes"

Personally I was really hoping that you had some reasonable arguments, but you were just throwing crap up in the air hoping it would fit. Saying that bonus exp weekends were RWT? That's just dumb thinking. We aren't captives of Jagex. They aren't forcing us to buy their stuff or even play their game. So your whole spiel about that psychological disorder is complete bull. Hopefully you will take the time to edit it and make sure there's some valid points besides just pulling **** out of your ass. Keep the information based on RuneScape, not other games that didn't quite make it. And please don't be stupid about it either. Just putting every membership bonuses as RWT is just bull. Here's some hypocrisy for you- There's Gold XBL right? and the other is Silver XBL right? Isn't that RWT? Why don't you go to the Microsoft website and just copy-paste what you put here. I'm positive it'll get the same thing you're trying to get accomplished done.

I never said that BXPW were RWT, I gave them as an example of things that lead up RWT. In this step, we see Jagex becoming increasingly greedy. They kept stating that the weekends would eventually be F2P, but they never did. It also started the age of aggressive marketing.


# We aren't captives of Jagex. They aren't forcing us to buy their stuff or even play their game. So your whole spiel about that psychological disorder is complete bull.

There is no psychological disorder involved, it's just normal human psychology and economics. The more money someone spends on something, the more utility they want out of that thing. In this case, if you spend over a hundred bucks in one go for Runescape bonds/cosmetics, the more you wind up defending your actions and how fun the game us because you want to believe that you will get the maximum bang for your buck. Someone who has wasted a ton of time and money on a game will find it much harder to quit compared to someone who hasn't invested as much.


# Keep the information based on RuneScape, not other games that didn't quite make it.

If a company owns some other games and treats them badly, then that gives us a deeper insight into that company's modus operandi.


# Here's some hypocrisy for you- There's Gold XBL right? and the other is Silver XBL right? Isn't that RWT?

Microsoft never promised its customers that it won't RWT or that all XBL members would be treated equally. This is just a silly strawman.

Original news post where Jagex makes the anti-RWT rule:

"""
We would like to make everyone aware that we have added Rule 12 to our rules.
This rule says that:

'RuneScape items must only be exchanged for other items/services within the game. Exchanging RuneScape items for real-life money or other real-life benefits is not allowed.'

This is not a new rule - it has always been part of the terms and conditions that every player agrees to when creating their account. However, we felt that this needed to be made absolutely clear, so it is now also part of our rules.

The reason for this is simple - We want RuneScape to be a game where everyone has the same chance regardless of their wealth in real-life.

This is also the reason we don't sell RuneScape items for cash on our own website. Even though we could make extra money in this way. We don't think it's fair or even fun if players can just buy their way to the top!
