So you gonna answer my original question or nah?


Already did.

Making Loyalty points buyable with oddments would sell a lot of Treasure Hunter keys, but Loyalty points are meant to be gained over time and balanced around that except when Jagex is selling Premier membership to get them faster. The way it works now keeps people playing longer waiting for the rewards, so being able to buy Loyalty points might work for short term profit but result in people playing the game for less time if they already got everything they wanted quickly.


The way you have it worded here seems like you disagree with your own idea.

I did, you just dont want to accept what i said.

So im done responding as this is just going in circles.

If you quoted your answer/response, then there'd be no going in circles, you didn't quote your answer because you didn't answer.

I understand the confusion but the idea I am against is the opposite of my idea.

My idea = Spend loyalty points to buy oddments.
The opposite idea which I am against = Spend oddments to buy loyalty points.

How many oddments you can get per month is only limited by how much you can spend on Treasure Hunter keys.

How many loyalty points you can get per month is limited since you only get so many per month based on how long you have had active membership, and the only time you can get more currently that I am aware of is when Premier membership goes on sale.

Making oddments buyable with loyalty points wouldn't effect much because you can already get more oddments by buying Treasure Hunter keys, but making loyalty points buyable would make getting auras a lot faster. It might not be game breaking, but it might make players run out of time locked goals faster and possibly get bored with the game sooner if they could get all the auras they wanted by spending real money, which might not be good for the long term health of the game.

So if it wont be be good for the game, why should it happen?

Someone correct me, I am probably wrong now, or am I reading it right..?

You're reading it correctly, Transcendent is making this suggestion probably because he would like more LP to buy auras but at the same time is also aware that it may not be healthy for the game in the long term.

Basically: has a desire but understands it might not be positive for the game as a whole in the long term. Proposing an idea that might not be good for the game but is also honest enough to admit that.

It shouldn't. As I said I am against being able to buy loyalty points with oddments.

I am for being able to buy oddments with loyalty points.

These are two different things.

My idea is to be able to spend loyalty points to buy oddments. This would be good for the game.

What I am against is being able to spend oddments to buy loyalty points, that would be bad for the game.
