it was a bad thing the day they released it as sof
as far as removing it goes? it will never happen, MTX is here to stay, and it will only get worse as players around the world get lazier and lazier and cant even be bothered to play a game
seriously, people cant be bothered to enjoy themselves on a game anymore?
*facepalm*
the trouble with MTX is it shows that :
1) the "granfathered rate" that some players are on is a bad thing
2) the price of membership is too low to cover costs
3) the game isn't attractive to new customers
if those were fixed, then MTX could well be removed.. but to do that you need capitol, and where's that going to come from? its a never ending cycle....
Thinks for 2 seconds on how to make the game more attractive and replies...... RUNESCAPE 4 UHD 4K Resolution, with REAL3D technology. Jagex could sell the 3D glasses for the game, across stores around the world.
Game sounds, and the in game soundtrack, powered by Dolby Digital TrueHD Advanced.
Point of view mode, where you are viewing from your character's own eyes the surrounding.
......etc........and more stuff...
I think that will make people want to play the game.
JAGEX PLEASE START PLANING FOR A 300Million Account Event.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Quick find code: 185-186-627-65997434

Also, I don't know if you know this, but before TH, income came from membership subscriptions...
TFW membership income wont be enough forever...
That's what Solomon's, Bonds, alternate game modes to encourage accounts like ironman, hardcore ironman, and group ironman (btw all three of those game modes don't have MTX yet somehow they're doing well...) and an entire different version of the game just to encourage subscription is there for.
TH is a portion of jagex's revenue, but I say they lose just as much revenue from disgruntled players that leave due to the aggressive promotion strategies.

TFW you're on the slippery slope defending each and every cash grab they try . . .
TFW "f2p" have access and make use of mtx, but you constantly use your "membership" status (here stated as inadequate financial support) as a reason to deny them basic QOL . . .
TFW when you use two contradictory arguments yet fail to see your own inconsistency.
Lol this thread is stupid, I didn't buy any keys nor I ever intend to, but that doesn't mean I want them to remove microtransactions that are supporting the game. Arguments for this are really dumb too, like this one here "Th awards bonus and regular xp, achievements don't matter anymore" Um last time I checked "skills" on this game are about clicking on mouse all day, doing same boring repetitive tasks, some people want to skip most of that and they will, I can't stand them either, so I mostly did afk methods with youtube on the side
Even if they remove ability to buy the keys I'm saying that, because removing th altogether would be even more stupid,
(there are earned keys awarded for actually playing the game and there are daily keys as well, this would remove lots of daily logins and so even less people would play, dailyscape is what is driving this game for the most part.)
this would mean people who are impatient would just revert back to buying gp and accounts (exactly what is going on with osrs) and this would mean money would go to the Chinese gold farmers instead Jagex and of course people would still "cheat" And even if "ideal" scenario happens and there is no way bots can exist or mtx, do you think these players who don't want to spend thousands of hours more than they already do, would say "fuck it" and do it? Nope.
Last but not least, why do you even care if random people are buying xp? Last time I checked they do not pay to remove my xp, so it doesn't affect me as well as for "achievements" well these are always worthless because clicking mouse more than someone else doesn't mean shit, only makes you a bigger loser (like me)
You're supposed to play the game for fun, like I do it now.

Lol at pretending as if ironmen accounts make for most of the playerbase, LMAO. Most players play regular accounts because, they do not want restrictions (basically making a multiplayer game singleplayer) and do not want to make the grind worse or longer than it already is
(and you don't want that either, you only play ironman mode for "bragging rights", like every ironman, you're not fooling anyone - You think you're cool, but in reality your account is simply inferior and you're spending three times the time to accomplish some things as someone can without using th)
It's a fact that TH cash flow is way larger than the rest, why do you think they spend most of the time doing th promos, rather than solomons or w/e?

My statement was that ironmen accounts were encouraged for additional membership revenue. Just like pures and skillers, alternate account types generate money, and pures are useless in RS3 so it's not a surprise why the gamemode was made.
I have no idea how you made the leap from that statement into deluding yourself into thinking I said something about ironman mode being more popular, but apparently the mere thought of that is enough to send you into an overly defensive tirade of incoherent rage.
