Can you please change the Treasure Hunter items when you use the same theme like rainbow tokens change them all so that whatever we get is only for that time only and players that has it can sell it when they want. I do not see the point in having the same tokens that I already have show up again because that is how the token will lose it cost. I want the price of the tokens to raise and people trying to get as many of them. So when the event ends the token will never show up again. You can have the same event again but different tokens (all of them has to be different) Life is supposed to be fun

I agree that oversaturation of tokens can be a bad thing. I don't think all tokens should have a destiny similar to Zombie Walk (trading on the "streets of RS for over 4B" or Gem tokens). Psssssttt... Jagex, why are some tokens introduced incredibly frequently but other tokens like the ones I've just mentioned have never or rarely been reintroduced and been allowed to reach discontinued tier prices?

Anyway, I do think Jagex's staff in charge of the microtransactions needs to take a careful look through feedback in this forum. Players wanting to obtain items again in the future don't necessarily want tokens to become junk, and trading at 10k-20k prices either. There needs to be a "token sink" of some sort in the game, or a balancing. Also, factor it from the "key buyer" perspective. Sure, a player might be willing to purchase TH keys when a token is freshly released and trading for millions. Once the token price is under 1M or comparably cheap, it loses prestige and players often forget it exists.

There are many ways to balance the concept of reintroducing tokens (but why are some tokens flat out not reintroduced like Summer Prize Token trading at 400m+ prizes?) while also balancing some type of status symbol.

I dislike both established discontinued items such as partyhats as well as walk-animation tokens to reach the prices they have. They shouldn't be that much over max cash stack and the inflation on them is unbelievable. They should be at least somewhat affordable for most players, because at the moment people have to save up for a very long time just to afford a walk animation or even the cheapest partyhat or discontinued item.

Yep. And nobody has 30 years to earn anything in this game legit anymore.
Hasn't for quite some time either. Promise you that.
I still believe everyone should be able to accumulate EVERY in-game item in some fashion.
And it ALL should be achievable in a 15 year span at the very least.
Considering there's new content very often and even OG's have to play "catch-up" sometimes.
We all have REAL LIVES too. And since the game takes money, IDK how they figure players will have enough to spend on their game if they aren't making it IRL... Seems like a very unsustainable business model. Not to mention how long it takes to get to that point even, years - deters newer players. Why wouldn't you want to try to increase the "fun-factors" of the game to garner new players and such? I swear, I would've run RS WAY better than they ever did, had I had the money to buy it from Andrew back when, I would've. I knew it'd be quite large - but under my ownership, could've been 2x what it is now. Because I'm simply not as greedy. But because I'm not, I'd run the business more efficiently - and money would just poor in because of how I ran it. Clan:
