^ no one hates u dude.

U need to be taught a lesson tho - Roll with it or get rolled over.

Jagex didn't start this, their just rolling with it.

And I hope jagex wins... I hope they win the entire world... I'd rather jagex win the world than candyville.


Of course, Jagex wins real money when somebody buy TH keys, but the more important thing for the players is they win when they play TH.

I have played this game since 2001, that tells you I can't be a kid. However, I still remember in the ancient time my parents put a lot of coins into gumball machines just because me and my little brother pointed to those colorful little balls with small figurines inside and smiled. Well, some people think that's gambling so it is not good. But to me, it is a different kind of "gambling" because the parents and the kids all win if they are happy.

The key point is if you have fun with games of chance you are always a winner no matter what prizes you. If you don't think it is fun, just don't play it. However, one will be really silly if he think he can stop those who don't mind to pay for the
FUN
but not the actual prizes. :D :D :D

Won't happen because only 5.8% of the real world people said they would never buy loot boxes according to the Qutee report, and 69% of them said they would have no problem at all if things are cosmetic only.

That's why according to Juniper Resarch's survey, loot boxes revenue will grow 68% over the next 4 years, and they will contribute to 29% of the world's video games' total revenue by then, up from the current 25%.

That's also why ESA's President Gallapher said in his presentation in the Nordic conference a couple of days ago, the players like the industry's creativity and monetization model in the industry looong history of financial success.

Remove TH? Won't happen... but don't blame the developers. Blame the players 94%-ish players who love MTX, particularly loot boxes, in the industry looong histroy of success, and voiced their opinions with their wallets. :D :D :D

Here's a fun idea instead of removing Treasure Hunter, don't use your keys not even your dailies and pretend like it doesn't exist, problem solved, wow I'm surprised how easy of a fix that was ^_^

Just one pretty big problem with this: Runescape is an MMO, not a single player game. In an MMO, what other people do, affect you as well, directly and in-directly. So even if you don't use TH yourself, when other people do use it, TH gives an unfair advantage to hiscore competition, it injects more resources to the game, which increases their supply -> their price drops, and because key buyers level their skills with exp from lamps and stars, it also means that they don't consume already existing resources in the game, which decreases their demand -> their price drops further. TH causes numerous consequences like this to the game, which you cannot ignore, because it is physically impossible, as long as the game is an MMO (even ironmen are affected; e.g. ironmen who pay for their membership with bonds, need to cough up more gp for their membership, because TH promos drive up the bond prices like crazy).

So even though your idea would work for a single player game, it sadly is not a viable option for Runescape players. > )
