This is horrid, and only serves to chase away players.

New players dont join p2w, returning players turn away in disgust at this, and loyal players like me start questioning whether runescape is even worth playing.

There is no good spin on this, you can't make it seem reasonable.

I have defended a lot Jagex have done over the years, but this? Never. No. Sickening.

You will never see a penny from me due to this, and I sure as hell will never recommend a game that does something like this. All the goodwill you had in the community for something like this is burned up a long time ago.

From the bottom of my heart, fuck off Jagex.

Can we go back to the promotions that were mostly cosmetic items? :P

Like instead of offering Smouldering Lamps, why not give us a funny follower or a cute outfit instead? @Lisaa_RS - Followed by @Runescape

Honestly, I've been okay with TH up until this point. It gets a lot of flak for being overpowered and pay to win, but only in a limited, reasonably well established way. The company needs to make money, and selling bonus exp through dubious loot boxes was a reasonable compromise between the hardcore players and the more casual people who don't have days to grind levels out at this point in their lives.

This "promotion", however, blows all of that out of the water. Smouldering lamps have long been seen as one of, if not the, most powerful TH promotion purely because they let you convert bxp into levels without ever training the skill, something which I believed bonus exp was meant to prevent from happening.

I'm honestly a little disgusted, not least because I have no doubt it will tick all of the boxes that the MTX team need to show their superiors that this was a good idea and they can push this farce even further.

Please reconsider this, Jagex. The short term profits are not worth selling what little integrity the game has left.

As other players have said, fuck off. You know your promos are getting worse and worse, and you're literally selling exp.

You realize you'd catch more players if you did things the right way right? Then you wouldn't have resort to such pathetic tactics to raise a profit.

By the way, Treasure Hunter is not game content. No matter how much you wish it was.

Its quite astonishing how short sighted your company is.

I liked some of the nerfs/content update you guys did but now it just seems like you did them so you could do some promotions like this one.

Whatever little you give you take back even more. And that reddit post about this got so much hate you had to take it down - you can't win and you know it.

In the long run rs3 will lose all its subs and all of its mtx revenue because you guys are too weak to tell the truth to the Chinese investors.

Don't even know why I bothered posting this because I no longer take you seriously or respect you and it shows.
