Meh, i've probably spent £2-3k in the last few years on RS. Do i care? Nope. Because i spend within my means and don't consider it an issue.
I wouldn't want PTW or MTX to be removed, but i could see with their frequency how someone could be tempted to spend way too much. We do need a balance.
The balance is already there. It is called natural selection. It is economics 101.
The free market will make a balance between the producers and the consumers naturally and automatically.
Governments have both no say to pay-to-win or MTX and they actually want as much as them as possible if they have a say since it only means more tax for them. So they are smart to move the invisible hands off the market.

We are just a few days from a full year ago when the 2 and only 2 countries who have made a few regulatory comments and one of them actually clearly stated without real money going out of the a game, its loot boxes are not gambling whatsoever.
Since then, even the handful games which were affected in Belgium have continued to put loot boxes in their games outside Belgium and even put more in their new games such as CoD: Black OP 4 and Apex Legends.
Better luck next
decade
century, if the real world governments begin to find a reason to accuse e-commerce with virtual items as "gambling", but by then all pigs will probably walk in 2 legs and play dices like the skeletons in Jagex's own OSRS page.

Oh nice, we get to know the history and all academic of loot boxes and how it affects the market places and the consumers behaviors. Good also to make consumer aware of what actually is in-game digital transactions like what ESRB and PEGI did alrady.
But wait... nothing about "gambling" is cited...

"Our Easter celebration is also a wonderful opportunity to support two very worthwhile charities. Keep an eye out for the representatives of CPSL Mind and The Prince’s Trust hanging around the fete. Donating to them will not only support their incredible work, but will increase the rate in which you find crystallised chocolate fragments. It's a win-win!"
