You said you don't want to argue semantics?
I said sharing the fun is showing great responsibility, not that they are responsible to do so. I googled "show responsibility", and the first property was "doing what you are supposed to do". This is what I meant. Prioritising braggers' ability to brag over the fun of the community is what they are supposed to do.

It's a matter of opinion: Are partyhats meant to be cheerful holiday items or status symbols of braggers and merching tools of investors? It's biased to say one is "objectively better".

I don't want to argue semantics when it comes to the definitions of gambling, but that's not to say I don't want to argue about semantics ever. > )
Regarding the rest, you lost me. But that probably doesn't really matter anymore.

In that quote, I was talking about changing the meaning, not the meaning itself. Partyhats can work just as well as either, "cheerful holiday items" as they are in OSRS, or status symbols with historical value as they are in RS3. Once the meaning has already been decided, as it has been for both games, it'd be objectively harmful to change either into either direction. Not only do you piss off those that cared about the first meaning, but you also can't ensure that the second meaning is gonna remain; since it was already changed once, it could be changed again.
Even though it's not the subject, I'm still gonna mention that this is also why you shouldn't change games too much fundamentally either: in Runescape's case, the game has always been about grinding more than the actual result. If new people come in who'd rather have the opposite, and can't stand Runescape as it is, they'd be better off looking for another game that fits their need, or even ask for a new one, rather than changing Runescape. Since even newer players in the future could do the same thing for them.
