Eh? So basically what you're saying is that because you personally don't find the in-game items to be worth any real value irl, they don't have any real value irl? But the thing is, as long as someone is willing to pay for something with irl money, that something has irl monetary value. And Runescape has had RWTers since the early days, so it's pretty clear that people are willing to pay irl money for the in-game items, and thus they have irl monetary value. > )
Which turns out to be non-legit / illegal, like I said it's like you copy and re-sell Amazon Prime / Netflix / DVD / etc movies.
Amazon Prime is actually a good example:
- You pay for a monthly subscription, like Runescape membership
- If you wanted to watch a particular TV series or movie, you most likely pay for it, like a Runescape MTX
- It's not guaranteed that you enjoy the TV series / movie you just bought, and this is completely subjective, exactly like the outcome of a TH key
- Watching a popular TV series gives you a "perceived", "psychological" advantage against other people who didn't watch it, e.g. they don't know / can't talk anything about it while you do; but at the end of the day there's no real, tangible, physical benefit. Unless you want a career as movie critic
- You can't make a copy of the movie you've just watched and sell them, exactly like Runescape in-game items
So Amazon Prime is gambling, right?

Are you really going to take the piss like this just because you can't accept the fact that TH is gambling? It's common sense, bratan: if you buy keys and use them, you have a certain prize(s) you want, but which you can potentially never receive due to it being a gamble to get. Whether or not you continue to appreciate the prize after getting it is a separate matter, the key here is to even get to that point of acquiring the said prize, which is a gamble.
And btw, RWT can both be legal and illegal; buying from other players/illegal 3rd parties like goldfarmers is illegal, while buying from Jagex/Jagex-approved 3rd parties like e.g. paying for the PC Gamer exclusive pet is legal. Not sure what difference it being legal/illegal makes though, because as long as people are willing to pay real money for the in-game items, legal or not, they have real monetary value. > )

Good to see the HoI overhaul from the Live Event Blog is showing up in this promotion... but 100 hearts just to reroll once is pretty expensive because it takes a Premier Club member over a month to get 100 hearts from daily benefits. Perhaps 50 HoI per reroll is better.
Anyway, good idea to give HoI more functions.

On my Level 3 skilling account, I have all combat lamps/stars frozen. I am getting lamps and stars in these frozen skills and my frozen hearts are getting used up as well. Please fix this, and do some refunding...
