Why please a small portion of the community with re-releasing, when making newer outfits pleases us all.

Plus, it is most likely more profitable for Jagex to release new items instead of reusing older outfits, because a lot of people already own it.


No support for Agent of Fury to come back.

This^. New stuff is always better than reused trash. WAAAGH!!!

"Everyone has that threshold of how many lies they can take from a company before they get tired of being exploited; the more Jagex deceives its veterans, the more likely it is for them to quit because they no longer have trust, which is important."

I'm just going to have to disagree here. Everyone who has invested so much time into the game wouldn't quit simply because of a useless cosmetic making a reappearance. Moreso, they would likely get over themselves and their ego, and actually play the game as it's meant to be. If they quit, then they never loved the game in the first place to begin with.

"Alternate versions can be played around with to find the optimal satisfaction; the players who would then still insist on getting the original, would do so out of jealousy, not because they want to use it. > )"

Has it ever crossed your mind that an alternative might only serve to further clutter up the game and not make a player want an item less? For example, Jagex has released many new forms of holiday items similar to their older counterparts, yet there are still players who want older holiday items rereleased. This proves that there will always be demand for the older ones as long as it's there - so releasing newer forms of agent fury in the long run will not make players want the original one any less, and altenatively, make them want the "other one" more.

This goes back to what is reasonable and what is not; if it was done right, there'd be no need to make 10 fury outfits.

Lol what? I question your logic sometimes no offence. If the item was rereleased then there'd be no need to make 10 fury outfits either. The whole reason 10 fury outfits will be required to be made is if the game revolved around your needs

"Sigh, still only talking about different colors, I see."

If you think i'm only talking about a new "colour" then you must be narrow minded.

Nah I don't feel like I'm winning if they did bring back the fury outfit. New stuff is all I care about. :) WAAAGH!!!

Everyone benefits if a new outfit is released too so there's no need to bring back an old outfit. Seems like it would be less work to release a new outfit that to rerelease an old one and release a new one. WAAAGH!!!

Seems like it would be less work to release a new outfit that to rerelease an old one and release a new one. Does everyone benefit if a particular group of people want the old one as well? No. Does it benefit everyone if both the old and new outfit was released? Yes, it benefits new and old players alike, as well as Jagex the most. On the contrary, it seems like it would be less work to release the old outfit than to create and release a new one, don't you think?

Sunk cost fallacy is an unhealthy condition, it's not okay. Jagex knows that many of its players suffer from it, and they continue to exploit that fact; people with the mental capacity to know better than that, would sooner or later quit if their trust was repeatedly exploited.

It has nothing to do with ego either, but that of responsibility; Jagex chose the path of discontinuity with certain things, and so it's rightfully expected that they carry it through. It's quite dishonest of you if you approve of deception.

Also, you say they never loved the game if the quit, but it's quite the opposite; new players who would quit over not getting an optional cosmetic thing, never truly were interested in the game. They'll just say that's the reason they quit, so as to not offend the old players. > )

If you want me to comment on this, please give me an example that I can refer to.
