Currently I'm ok with Solomons and bonds, you get what you pay for.
I don't think Solomon's fits well with the game as cosmetics should be obtainable through the game, as there's already cosmetics rewards. But ultimately that's some player choice.
Treasure hunter on the other hand is random reward chests and with the regular promotions it is straight up gambling mechanics which can be addicting to many people. Governents are going to regulate it.
I think Jagex should remove it themselves before the law forces them to.
These laws will come into force because of these aggressive and manipulative montisation methods (kids racking up thousands of pounds of parents money). So in my opinion, if a game still has them, when they know full well how manipulative they are. Then they are being greedy and do not care about their consumers.
If the monetisation is to remain in-game, then the company will start having to age restrict the game to 18 or 21+ to comply as well as having to do more vigourous age checks. As much as players will bypass the age restrictions regardless. It will still harm the health of the game!
Governments talked about skin gambling a lot more, especially the UKGC and many EU countries + Washington State of the USA . If they were going to ban gambling they definitely would have to ban Duel Arena first.
However, even if Duel Arena was to be banned, there must be a REAL LAW first. But there obviously is no such thing in the real world, so Jagex doesn't need to ban it and they have no reason to unless someday some real governments come up with real law which may not come before Jesus.
