LOL. Why do all these people still play this game and use this forums if they think this game is "dying"? Or wait... they said the said "dying" thing 10 years ago.

And you know why this game is actually not "dying"? That's simple. It is because they continue to make money from these "dying" players.

I guess to these "a lot of players" the "P" in PR means private to themselves. But it is obvious this kind of "bad PR" TH or lockbox equivalence is hardly "bad" to the PUBLIC sector or else they won't sell.

PR, referring to the public, as in the people at large, not just runescape players. It's already known most of the RS community will lap up whatever Jagex gives them. New players? Not so much.

You've been unable to refute anything, just arguing semantics when you don't have data. Funny how you claim to be against blind speculation, when you've now gone even below that and are just trying to weasel your way around the information that proves, that, yes, lootboxes are bad PR.

You also have to realize that membership profits exceed TH profits.

public sentiment is at an all time low for lootboxes.



Fun fact: The week of Nov 12, 2017, was the lowest average population week of RS3 in history. The Friday of the very same week, was the release of Battlefront 2, the game that sparked lootbox controversy worldwide and has spurred on lawmakers to try to take on these lootboxes.

MTX content like that has a measurable effect on the playerbase, as data has proven.

I didn't speculate and I never even mentioned anything about "blind speculation", let alone endorse or oppose it. Somebody mentioned it, perhaps it was you? It won't matter to me who anyway.

I only used real data. There is no sign of "bad PR".

Only used real data? You haven't used any data at all. Meanwhile I've provided several sources of bad PR at large in response to lootboxes.

So you realize it is useless to make "blind speculation and unsupported claims", right?

Of course I can't use any REAL DATA because there is no such thing on the invisible "bad PR". Can somebody show me where it is please.
